It's good for nostalgia

I played newer ones, not one of them i consider great, there is always the late game burnout on this games, at least the last one it's trying to improve that

When I'm playing CivIV, it keeps me up at night. when I'm not, I'm thinking about CivIV, which keeps me up at night.

Great Game

Civ IV is definitely my favorite out of the series. If Civ VII is out of the question for you, then drop right in and get Civ IV!

Good game, bad direction

Really it's a great game with lots of longevity. Many scenarios are already packed into the three versions of the game, but also a lot of well-made historical focus scenarios & mods exist for BTS when you get bored, and they work just fine with the GOG version. You could play this game for years and never get bored. Tactics are as deep as they've ever been (and ever will be) in Civ. Depth is balanced by good intuitive info panels. You will enjoy this game and get your money's worth out of it. That said, play feels much more sluggish compared to Civ 2 or 3, which are just as good of games at their root. The switch to 3D graphics is a tradeoff that sacrifices interface snappiness for perhaps only a cute war-game toy soldier charm. The graphics do not look impressive today. Balancing depth of strategy and ease of play is what Civ 4 shines at, but the changes that make it a technical successor were unnecessary and even harmful in my opinion.
