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

“Civilisation IV was the old standard for empire building games and in some respects still feels superiour to its successor Civilisation V. A good game to waste an evening with some mates or just the AI.”

“I loved this game for years. Religion was a great addition to the Civilization dynamic, and many other things (like spies) were handled very well in this one. The expansions are a must, however, as they greatly improve gameplay.”

“Another great addition to the Sid Meier's series, Civilization IV was everything I hoped it would be, and more. Being an avid fan since Civ II, I got my fix of deploying troops in the Stone Age and building a huge empire up to the Space Age. The multi-player portion of the game got a much needed update, but the few flaws it does have gets updated in the later expansions. A great title for a past fan of the series, or for someone who likes playing Strategy games where they control, literally, everything. ”
