A good Civilization with mods.

I bought this game on as sale to play Caveman2Cosmos mod, the civ 4 UI isn't the best, especially managing many cities is tedious, but all the different management angles and diplomacy and the detailed technologies and concepts in caveman2cosmos mod make the game fun. If you want borderless fullscreen window, use the free software 'Borderless Gaming' App available on github. (win +F6) It works well on windows 10.

Never played a Civilization game before.

Runs flawless on Windows 10. First time playing a civilization game. So glad I bought it after the first day I already understand " just one more turn".... auto save after every turn is nice. Definitely worth the full price I paid.

Simply said, the best.

Here we have the highest peak of a glorious serie. Civ4 is a lovingly crafted jewel, which benefitted from the deepest development phase in the serie history, and it showed clearly through the extremely elegant design and supremely tought-out mechanisms. Civilization IV reaches the equilibrium between complexity and accessibility, between depth and variety. Far, far better than those which followed it, and even better than those which preceded it, it's the definite, ultimate, best Civ game ever.
