I only just picked it up. I like it. My first Civ was Civ IV, but I didn't really get into it and only played it for a few hours. I enjoyed the Civilization Revolutions demo a lot more than what I played of IV, but I never got around to buying the game, so V is my first substantial experience with the Civ universe.
I've been playing a lot of that and Shogun 2 over the past two weeks, so I can't help but compare the two. On the whole, I prefer Total War's gameplay more, because I feel like you don't have to micro-manage your provinces in TW as much as you have to micro-manage your cities via your workers and whatnot in Civ.
