actually there are not that many "little characters" in Civs, nor Alpha C.
At least those that require your attention. While setting up a new game you
can select world size from tiny to huge, difficulty from trivial to very difficult
(there is full range), number of opponents, world kind - land/sea ratio, etc.
Or you can select some predefined scenario.
There are few AI advisors, and you can put anything on automated mode, that
you consider uninteresting or unimportant.

User interface might seems overhelming at first glance, but in 2-3 days you will
feel comfortable with it. Learn curve is not steep, and forgiving.
Those are turn-based games in the end :)

Beware those are highly addictive "one more turn" games, though very rewarding,
at least during first-second thousand hours ;))
