Then go with Civ 5. Everyone should try the Civilization series at some point, becuse it is a truly tremendous series. Given that most of what 5 is criticised for is what earlier games did better, if you haven't played the earlier games it isn't going to be a problem for you - you will enjoy it on its own. If you really enjoy it then maybe later you can have a shot at Civ 4, which, as said, is generally considered a better game, but if you don't like 5 then the series may not be for you.
