Civilization IV: Gold Edition is the best Civilization version yet (and that is saying something, considering how great Civilization II is).
Civilization IV: Gold Edition is Civilization IV + The Warlords (Expansion Pack). Both are great games, and combined make for a great gameplay that is unique, complete, and amazing. One of the best PC games ever. A true must buy.
To further enhance this, I recommend also getting "Beyond the Sword" to add more unique gameplay features and fun to your game.
Game has the addictive quality of all its previous editions with some of the more frustrating parts removed. I like the graphics and enhanced dimensions in game play.
This game rules. i love this type of game - recreating history, building an empire, and crushing others! The war, religion, technology, units and buildings, ruling styles, diplomacy and trade all add to the excitement!
I like thats its a game where you challange yourself, And be a leader in your own world,And you can zoom in and out of the game. also you can conquer other civilizations.I dislike that its kind of confusing at first but its an okay game. I decided to buy it because it seemed better than part 3 and it was newer.
For people who are looking for less stressful games than Games like American Conquest Age of Empires nad the like this game is a great game. Compared to Civilization III it is definitely upgraded with some positive and negative features. Sometimes the cool graphics get in the way of playing the game, such as moving large numbers of soldiers or trying to change the cities productions. However, it does have a variety of new earlier units that prove vital in fights and wars. Love the ability to access the spending costs on the front page and love the fact that the score is on the front page. I definitely enjoy the online player option of the game. All around it is a fun fairly easy game to learn and is great.
