Sid Meier's Civilization IV®: The Complete Edition

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!

Civilization IV complete can be purchased for £3.79p !! Runs great on low spec computers and is an absolute bargain. Thank you.

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.

A well balanced game. Would be better with the Civ Fanatics add ons

As long as you have the DLC's this is on par with all the other Civ's - Excellent!!!
