Oh, if anyone new to Civ (or haven't played in a while) is picking this up, I suggest learning the game before expansions (BTS in particular). When trying to get one of my friends into it, he found it was too complicated - there really is just a ton of stuff going on.
Play the vanilla game (tutorial if you must) first, to get a feel for the game. Then, play with the expansions - Beyond The Sword makes the game more complicated, but it has some major improvements.
