I guess 4 started weak compared to 3, but the expansions fixed it right up. With the expansions, it's a great game. It's also pretty well balanced between civs at the higher difficulties (well, except Incas Quechua-rushing AIs on small maps).
BUG and BetterAI mods make the standard game even better (BUG is interface enhancements, BetterAI improves AI play)
Get them both as a package here
