5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal game - lots of fun, endless replayability, and very addicting.

This is a phenomenal game. I literally must set a timer to tell me to stop playing, because I will get completely sucked in and have literally played all night long without a break, my only indication that I should stop being the sun rising and me going, "Oh, I probably should have gotten some sleep." I played the original Civ 4 for years, not touching any of the expansions, but just playing the vanilla version so that I could get good at it and get a feel for how everything is supposed to work. Since I finally got a good enough feel for it, I thought I'd go ahead and try the "Beyond the Sword" expansion, skipping "Warlords" because all the reviews I read indicated that was the right move. I want to tell anyone reading this right now, who might be in the same boat I was in of wanting to get comfortable, just go ahead and move to "Beyond the Sword" (BTS). There is absolutely no reason to waste time on the vanilla version when you can have all the new units and features available in BTS. All the problems I encountered in the vanilla version are addressed in the expansion, and it's even more playable because of that. About the only benefit I derived from playing the old version is that I got a full level of appreciation for the add-ons that help make the game so much better.

Another thing I love about this game is that many of the settings can be found in the XML files for the game, so if you know how to edit XML, you can go in and change some things more to your liking. For instance, the old vanilla game had no limitation on how many air units you could have in a city, but the new version limits these to four, which is ridiculous because you can fit way more than 4 air units on any real-life air strip. So, I found the setting in one of the XML files, and now I can have as many planes as I want in a given city. This isn't cheating, because the AI can do the same. Any edit of the XML files is available to both sides, so I can bring back anything from the old version that the new version decided to edit out. If you can't edit XML, the game is still awesome.

I will say that I played Civ 5 for a bit and did love that game, too, but they're different in a whole lot of ways. Civ 5 is not a simple facelift to Civ 4 with better graphics and a few new options. Rather, it's an almost completely different way of playing the game. There are similarities, but much of it changed. Not necessarily for the better or for worse, but just different. I think it speaks well of Civ 4 that after playing Civ 5, I went back to Civ 4 again. I love both games, but Civ 4 is really great. Plus, now that I discovered the BTS expansion, I feel the need to keep playing 4 just to take advantage of all the new units.

4.0 out of 5 stars Single player rocks, multiplayer buggy
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2011
Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
Single player is awesome. Other people describe that pretty well. Multiplayer is ridiculously buggy with connection issues and Out Of Sync (OOS) errors. Forums online go back to 2008 with complaints about connection issues and resolution suggestions like restart your computer, open UDP 2056 in your router, and make sure civilization iv is allowed in your firewall. All set and for some reason, civilization iv will not connect to any multiplayer game with my netgear router. I have to bypass the router to connect in multiplayer so I can rule out any software firewall issues. Apparently, UDP 2056 may or may not work. With all the other games out there that connect without me having to tweak my firewall at all, this seems ancient and primitive. That it still didn't work - aggravating. The next major headache showed up in a game around 1500 AD or so on a medium sized map in beyond the sword - OOS errors. The thing flashes in the middle of the screen in red text like a strobe at first. One player is out of sync, check scores tab. Check scores. Everyone has a different red #. The red text indicates the person whose score is different should exit and reconnect. Would that be ALL of us? We saved it, exited civ iv bts (if you change any router settings or firewall settings, yes, you need to restart the game ... if you have to reconnect, yes, the suggestions on forums are to restart the game entirely ... and no, they are not kidding!), and it let us do like 5 turns before giving it to us again. It was absurd. After 20 or so OOS errors in our face, we gave up with that game. Suggestions on forums include turning off tech trading and random events in beyond the sword. We tried a tiny map on civ iv (not warlord or beyond the sword) and it lasted till we won before like 1500 AD. Still, who makes a game this fun, this long-lasting with replayability in single player, and FLOPS SO BIG on multiplayer? Forums go back and forth between "It's Firaxis and Take Two's fault" to "It's Gamespy's fault." I don't know. I don't care. I shouldn't have to care, you know? Connecting via multiplayer should just work. This is not 1990 with mac VS pc modems and the two not liking each other. This is 2011. To quote a line from Bill Cosby, 'Fix it.' But since this is 2011, no, it will probably not be fixed. My poor router who tests fine on an open 2056 UDP port that Civilization IV cannot, apparently, use.

And yes, you need to create a gamespy account (free and you can do it in-game) to play multiplayer. The lobby is nothing fancy to look at and if you need to reconnect to a game, yes, you have to FIND it in the list. With all these connect issues, it makes sense to me to have a box that says join game, type name, and go. But no, we have to find the game each time. After 20x of this in under a half hour, see if you feel stressed. We did.

If you want a game to relax, take a load off from the stressors of the world, single player is awesome. If you want to do multiplayer, play something else to relax, this will just push you over the edge. How a TURN-BASED game goes out of sync is beyond my comprehension!!!! It is not acceptable in this day and age to have that many sync issues.

I have broadband internet and can play starcraft II without any problems on max settings. I can play other games fine too. This thing goes OOS with surprisingly high frequency on beyond the sword in multiplayer. That's just sickening. All the time, energy, sacrifice to make a game like this ... and screw up multiplayer SO badly ... I almost want to cry for them. That they haven't fixed it yet, sorry, they are not worthy of my tears.

I've heard steam may be better for stability. But you still have to go through gamespy for multiplayer. So I don't know how much better that would be. Out of curiosity, I decided to give the steam version a try. Long download, but no patch to mess with for civilization iv. Got to finish a tiny map game with my friend. Too early to tell, still waiting for the OOS madness to begin again. Someday, I'll give up trying to make the thing work. For now, it's out of sheer curiosity I continue to try it in multiplayer. Thanks for the conditioned response of anxiety at the thought of OOS flashes during a game Firaxis. Oh, wait, never mind. 'I retract my previous statement.' No thanks for that! Singleplayer is still awesome.
