While the whole idea of a new Civilization game revolves around the concept of, "more," the most unique feature in Civilization is a brand new idea. Civ IV marks the first entry in the series to address religion. The first civilization to research specific technologies found one of seven religions. The technology to religion relationships make logical sense (Polytheism leads to Hinduism) and the game is careful not to emphasize the advantages of one religion over another. This adds another layer of depth to an already vast ocean of features as religion plays into negotiations with other civilizations, spawns the proliferation of missionaries, and differences can lead to war.
