As someone who knows for a fact that Sid Meier's Civilization series peaked in Civ IV, it is interesting to see Ars Technica suggest that with a bit of work Civilization VII might match the Civ IV experience.

It seems that with the use of a military commander unit you can stack up to four units in a single hex, who spread out when you launch your assault. It sounds like an interesting mix of the two styles of armies, which could improve the experience of those with tastes similar to my own.
