Firaxis/2K Games Sid Meier's Civilization IV Reviews

Ever since the now-defunct MicroProse Software company released the original version of Sid Meier's Civilization in 1991, I've been hooked on what is perhaps the most popular "god game" franchise in the history of entertainment software.  With the exception of CivNet (the first Internet/multi-player variation), Civilization: Call to Action, and 2K Games' Civilization III, I've either owned or played most of the published upgrades to Meier's simulation of world history that challenges players to build an "empire that will stand the test of time."

Civilization IV represents a HUGE leap forward in the series.  With Civilization III, there were some new features, but anyone who had played previous Civ games could pretty much just jump right in and feel comfortable.  That's still true with Civilization IV, but there are so many new features that the game is very different from its predecessors.

 Civilization IV adds tons of new features and content such as the social engineering found in Alpha Centauri and completely new concepts such as state religion.  The game also takes the complex diplomacy that Civ III borrowed from Alpha Centauri...
