It "fixed" warfare for me. It made it a lot more fun. Basically, anything that makes armies smaller makes war more fun. I suppose I'm just biased because it more heavily favors the defender now. I'm indifferent to war in Civ 5. In Civ 4, I actively and desperately hated war and it made me want to quit the game. That's a big upgrade to me.
