It is better than civ-3. If you don't understand the interface, first try out the tutorial. Then start. You will like it.

Ya, it was unanimously declared as game of the year among all platforms and all genres for 2005 by many gaming websites including gamespot and gamespy. It cannot be that bad!!!

Try once more and I am sure your opinions will change.

I have also played it, but I could not manage to win on the noble difficulty onwards. Upto warlord difficulty it is OK.

first timers will find it very boring but if u play for a while and get into all the things of Civ 4,then u'll know why its the best.

i have heard that civilization 4 is a turn based game , i.e, we and opponents make the move turn by turn , is this true, or is it simple like gameplay like age of empires

rahul_becks23 · 26-07-2006, 11:33 AM

it is Turn Based,ie why i said that first u will find it boring but after some time...u really begin to like it if u get the hang of it.....its total fun.

And totally addictive. You will just say to yourself '...just one more turn...'!!

It is like a game of chess on the higher difficulty levels. The opponents are just plain smart. They will cripple your economy and make unjust demands and when you don't give in they will declare war against you.

One thing I learnt at playing at higher difficulty-It's useless being defensive. Go for all out attack at the earliest possible chance with the nearest opponent who does not approve of your religion. yes, religion is a big factor in civ-IV.

By the way, just wanted to share, the first expansion pack is out-Civ-IV: warlords. Has anyone got it yet?
