I don't know (yet). Civ5 was/is (no clue if the last DLC fixed it or not) pretty bad. In civ5 you could simply maximize your gold output and buy everything, coasting to a cultural victory on deity. Without the AI perceiving you as a threat.

Having said that, based on Steam stats civ5 is still a very popular game. I suspect a lot of people strictly play multiplayer, and in MP it really doesn't matter what the AI can and cannot do. Perhaps civ5 and civ6 are good MP games?

Since I don't want to end with a positive note: making a fun multiplayer game isn't that hard. When you're playing with friends (or simply fun people), basically any game is fun. By then it's just not the game that's fun, it's gaming that's fun.
