Strange to hear Civ described as a Grand Strategy title. Usually that is reserved for things like Victoria or Crusader Kings, which are not turn based.
CIV does loosely fit into the grand strategy genre by way of scale and mechanics, but you’re right that it’s usually not included, mostly because of the nature of how symmetrical and “video gamey” each game start is.
