2. Core Gameplay Mechanics

• Hex-based grid: Replaces previous games’ square tiles, eliminating diagonal movement exploits and encouraging tactical positioning.
• One Unit Per Tile (1UPT): Combat requires careful maneuvering; prevents “stack of doom” but creates logistical bottlenecks.
• Social Policies: Ten themed trees (e.g., Tradition, Liberty, Rationalism) offering persistent bonuses; replaced by Ideologies in late game.
• Technology Web → Tree: Linear tech tree with prerequisites, but each discovery unlocks new units, buildings, and wonders.
• City-States: Minor AI players that provide resources, votes, and bonuses when allied.

Comparisons (concise)

• Vs Civilization IV: Civ V modernized visuals and hex tiles, removed unit stacking and complex religion/culture pre-expansions, but later expansions restored comparable depth.
• Vs Civilization VI: Civ VI introduced districts and different civ balancing; Civ V focuses more on map-level tactics and has a large legacy fan base.
