Hey good for him. If he's having fun using it, then that's one of the main goals achieved.
I haven't even tried VI yet. I'm still working through Civ V. It's just so different from IV that I've been at it for almost 6 years and I finally think I can 3v1 beat the damn AI on King difficulty.
I have the brave new world expansion on DVD. Back when games came on physical media.
As for favorite civ? I'm not sure.
It's hard to diss Pocatello's extra land from the get go, and being able to pick what you want from the ancient ruins. Then again Kamehameha can immediately disembark so you can quick discover more of the map and that's pretty handy too.
Haile Selassie is a tough nut to crack when doing the one city challenge. You'd think India would have a better bonus, but that seems to be only for civ happiness and food. Selasie gets a decent combat bonus for having less cities than it's attacker. Which is also handy when doing the one city challenge.
America's less upkeep for army cost and half gold land cost when buying tiles is very good too. And the minutemen are quick to produce and are fairly early to mid game if you rush a few things.
Heck, Nobunaga has that everyone fights at full strength even when outnumbered perk, which is also super handy. And early game samurai are a huge pain to deal with.
It was. With a DVD sized case and everything. I can take a picture of my physical PC copy if I really have to. And the expansion. I have them here at my desk.
If you prefer IV to V I wouldn't waste my money on VI. V at least had some fun mods and scenarios to make use of the new mechanics and make up for the dumbed down ones. VI I couldn't even get one game finished.

Favorite civ? Tall or wide? Expansions or no?

Huh ... I'm not sure if I have a favorite. :)
Civ 5 was not available on physical media. I know because I bought was I thought was going to be a copy on DVD but it was just a wrapper for steam.
