 Awesome Game April 19, 2008
Civilization 4: BTS is the best computer game ever. It added a ton of cool new features to the original Civilization 4. I only expected a few minor changes, but I was wrong. They added a bunch of new units, buildings, civilizations, leaders, and many other things. The combat in this game is very life-like and the Warlord is an excellent new addition. I would recommend this game to anyoune who is interested. I have had it for a few months now and it isn't gettin boring at all. With this new expansion pack you will never have a dull moment. Also, the graphics and sound are great. This expansion pack also made the game run a liitle faster. Hope you enjoy the game, too.
Wonderful Addition to a Great Game April 10, 2008
This is a great expansion pack to (probably) the best PC game. As opposed to the previous expansion pack (Warlords) and the original game, the playability seems better. There are, of course, more units, technologies, civilizations, etc. The "Rhyse and Fall of Civilization" is a particularly interesting scenario.
 install issues March 28, 2008

If you have window's vista do not buy this game. civ 4 gold edition is required to play civ 4 on windows vista. beyond the sword, however, in incompatable with civ 4 gold edition. during the install it says there is a newer version of civ 4 available and attempts to download. this always ends in an aborted download and install. after 6 months of talking to the support staff for this product i've given up. i am cosidering consulting a lawyer concering this product. they are falsely advertising it as compactable with window's vista and civ 4 gold edition. do not buy this if you have window's vista. it has been out for over a year and firaxis/take2games has done nothing to address this issue.
More fun than Scooter Libby in drag March 28, 2008

Declaring war without the interference of Congress has never been so much fun. In fact it is some engrossing that I thought I was playing a game only to find out I was sitting at a LSTAT terminal directing real troops movements (I made up some hubbub about WMD's and such to cover the invasion, war weariness really is a huge hassle).
Despite that the inclusion of events and espionage really make the late game more interesting. The new civs and leaders are well done and add even mroe depth to the game. And if somehow you do get a little bored of the main game there are a dizen scenarios that cover everything from historical events, to flying spaceships and fighting dragons.
 Great Graphics But Wheres The Beef February 20, 2008

All in all, Civ IV is very very fun and, as with all others in the series, extremely addictive. The graphics are top drawer stuff. I love the Nuclear Explosions from ICBM's. I was rolling in a Gladiating Dictator sort of way. Imagining all the bits and pieces of my mortal subjects scattering in the extreme radioactive power surge, screeming in agony from the intense heat of radiation and ...sorry. If I have one bad thing to say, (and it is a very big downside to this game), it is the lack of the scenarion editor that spoiled us in CIV III. A confusing World Editor is there but its limits are extensive and frustrating. There is little to no guidance as to what can and cannot be done. On a positive note, if you want to have Oil, Coal, Uranium and/or Gold, and you want it now, simply save your game, open the World Editor, add the bonuses to your current map. Once saved, exit back into the game and whalaa, there they are ready for use. Unlike CIV III, when scenarion changes were made, (It's weak too on guidance),you'd have to start all over again and again and again until you had your custom scenario just right. Now changes can be done on the fly which is very good, ONLY theres not near the depth of modifications that made CIV III (IMO) much better than this edition. For graphics, fun, and addictibility, I give CIV IV 2 thumbs up, For the depth it lacks in customization as compared to CIV III, 1 thumb down. I recommend the purchase unless the scenario editor is a big deal to you then I wouldn't buy this cause it essentially doesn't have one.
