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.


Usually I just put my workers on auto.  They usually do a good job at improvements but sometimes you have to manually take over and tell them to build that damn road to your new city that they have been neglecting to do.  Roads are a tricky thing in Civ 5.  It seemed like you could build as many roads/railroads as possible in Civ 3 and it not affect your money.  However, it seems like in Civ 5 you have to just do a limited amount of roads in order that it doesn't bankrupt you.  This is bad considering each unit needs to be on it's own tile so it makes things a little tricky sometimes.
