Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword

one of the best all time games. been playing for almost 20 years. one day I will get good lol

I love this game and have been playing it since i first bought it on cd rom. my favorite Civ game.

Best way to play Civilization 4. On modern computers, Civ 4 crashes for me in larger maps due to a Memory Allocation Failure (MAF). Beyond the Sword fixes this issue, so I recommend playing Civ IV: BTS for your modern Civ 4 fix.

Fun historical and what if scenarios in the Civ IV format.

Id rank them like this CIV4 Alpha centauri CIV5 CIV6 didnt play the rest so i cant judge

This game is good. Now, I'm going to compare it to the other Civilization games, and my friends are going to lose their minds, as this is the 209,874,208,374th time I must explain how much better this game is than Civilization V—and I guess Civilization VI, but who the fuck played that for more than two minutes? There must be a way to break through to them, to make them understand, to make THEM SEE THE LIGHT! Civilization IV is the pinnacle of the series' concept. It represents all the franchise's game mechanics taken to their logical and most satisfying conclusion. Playing this game feels grandiose, as if you are truly commanding a great civilization, a vast country with intricate, interconnected systems. War is an epic affair with thousands of units blanketing the map. Taking a city is a long and arduous process of slowly whittling down the defenders through bombing and multiple, costly assaults. So, what do you get in Civilization V? For starters, you get a bunch of features ...

Incredibly easy to mod, and the last Civ game before One Unit Per Tile completely destroyed the franchise.

Best game I have ever played, and I have been hooked for years and years

It's Civ IV. 'Nuff said. Honestly though, this is a classic and still my favorite Civilization game.

still a very fun game
