Civ was completely changed after Civ 4.

The Normandy invasion in World war 2 was a "death stack".

Blitzkrieg style operations were death stacks too (e.g.: schwerpunkt)

And almost every major conflict involved a decisive battle with two death stacks on each side.

The game designers of Civ 5 decided to restrict forming death stacks and the new versions of the game still have this mechanic. This is the moment Civ became a completely different game. The last true Civ game was Civ 4.
