The Settlers 7

That DOES look like a good game, judging off just the screenshots. I'm not huge on RTS games, but it looks like this could be right up my alley. How does it compare to Civilization, or are both totally different?

Civ5 and The Settlers are their own brand of crack. The Settlers lack turns like Civ and is like you said, more of an RTS. Unlike C&C and similar games, this one is more than just building an army. There is an economy to focus on as well.
I don't know how I hadn't heard of this series but I am loving 7.
