DESCRIPTION
From humble beginnings as a prehistoric tribe of hunters and gatherers, to a far-flung future of extra-terrestrial colonization, players lead their people to dominate Earth and beyond in this era-spanning game of empire-building. A true living legend of computer game design, Sid Meier invites strategists to conquer the world all over again, in this fourth edition in the influential Civilization series.
Many of the most significant additions to this version of Civilization involve customization. The tech tree remains the roadmap to scientific and industrial advancement, but there is now more than one path to milestone discoveries. The religion model offers more customization as well, and players can now better use the power of faith to spread their culture, or they can choose to have no state religion at all, boosting scientific endeavors.
Combat has been enhanced in Civ IV, to give more individuality to veteran units and to balance away occasional historical mismatches sometimes noticed in earlier editions of Civ. More than one leader character is available for many of the traditional opponent nations, and the game will play differently depending on who is in charge of rival empires. In all, Civilization IV is designed to offer players a game world of unprecedented sophistication and realism, whether they aim to win it through warfare or culture. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“A really fun party game if you get a group of friends together. It's a good game for any age to play. It's clean and has difficulty levels for all skill levels various people may have. The interface is relatively easy to understand and the tutorial does an good job of giving someone who's never really played any of the other Civ games the tools they need to improve and be successful.”

“This game got me through a long, internetless deployment oversees. The basic game mode against the computer is one of the most addicting gaming experiences I have ever encountered.This game is great for solo play or LAN parties. The multiple game modes and opponents guarantee a fresh experience every time. The only real drawback is the difficulty levels don't scale well. The levels above the 4th difficulty level are virtually unplayable. Overall, this game ranks as one of the top strategy, world building games of all time.”
