one might question if Civ has lost depth or not, but to me the game clearly has more depth today than in Civ2, for example, yet they have added a lot of stuff which makes the game more acessible in CivIV, from more accessible Civilopedia to clearer messages, assistants, etc.
they probably want to improve the micromanaging side, I dunno if Starcraft has barracks access to the interface (never played it that much really), but that's something Company of Heroes has, it doesn't remove depth but avoids having to alter the focus of the game.
the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
