[Semaphor]

I mean, historical accuracy is not exactly a Civ feature. For that I’d recommend Paradox games. And game play wise, I find death stacks simply lame, so I’m happy they aren’t there. There are tons of things that don’t make sense for IV either, but I still don’t call it Uno.

For Civ 4 at least, once you have cavalry, cannons, artillery, etc. There is a penalty for death stacks due to collateral damage.
