- Expanded Epic Game: Adds a massive increase of new units, buildings, and technologies to the epic game with a tremendous amount of effort focused on the late game.
- New Game Scenarios: 11 new scenarios custom-designed by the team at Firaxis and some members of the Fan Community.
- New Civilizations: 10 new civilizations, such as Portugal, Babylonians, and Netherlands and their associated unique units and buildings.
- More Civilization Leaders: Sixteen new leaders, both for the new civilizations as well as additional leaders for existing civilizations, including Hammurabi of the Babylonians, Abraham Lincoln of the United States, and Sitting Bull of the Native Americans.
- Corporations: A new game feature similar to religion allows players to found companies and spread them throughout the world. Each corporation provides benefits in exchange for certain resources.
- Espionage: Now available earlier in the game, this feature offers players many new ways to spy on opponents, stir citizen unrest and defend government secrets.
- Events: New random events - such as natural disasters and pleas for help or demands from their citizens - challenge players with obstacles that must be overcome for their civilization to prosper.
- New Wonders: Five new wonders await discovery, including the Statue of Zeus, Cristo Redentor, the Shwedagon Paya, and the Mausoleum of Maussollos.
- Expanded Space Victory: Winning the race to Alpha Centauri will now require more strategic planning and tactical decision making.
- Apostolic Palace: The United Nations is available earlier in the game, providing a way to win a diplomatic victory earlier. In addition, new resolutions expand the available diplomatic options.
- Advanced Starts: A major fan request, this new feature enables players to 'buy' components of a custom-tailored empire and begin play in the later part of the game, allowing one to experience many of the new features of the expansion in a shorter amount of time.
- Advanced AI: The greatly-enhanced AI now relies more on smart play and less on handicap bonuses to remain competitive, providing a more consistent challenge throughout the course of the game, both economically and militarily. The ways in which the AI attempt to achieve victory have also been expanded.

It is dab lit good!
The best Civ ever made. Absolute perfection.
Complex and well balanced! I recommend this game to everyone.
The WW 2 scenario is very good!
still my fave game to return to on a long airplane flight
I think this is my favourite game of all time. Graphics of course are a bit dated, but who cares, this game is 20 years old by now. I think the gameplay is still streets ahead (get it Community fans?) to all of the newer CIV-games. They tend to want to add more and more cool new things which result in you just trying to keep up with the games pace the entire time. CIV IV still has periods were you are just calmly playing playing through an age without being bombarded by new mechanics. And I'm just going to say it, love the stack of doom. 1 unit a hex killed the game for me more than anything else in future installments. I also think the way Culture, diplomacy and religion works in this game is spot-on. Every type of victory is fun to achieve.
-/+ graphics
++ gameplay
+++++++++++++ replay value
++ soundtrack
++ endless mods
really good
get the mods from civfanatics! still highly replayable even today
Best Civilization game ever!
Endless hours of excitement and fun!
It's really great
Best CIV game if you can overcome the goofy graphics palette.
Each Civ has their own drawbacks and positives. This one is my favourite
Very absorbing for many a replay. Growing the empire is the enjoyable goal, but the very first exploration is probably the funnest bit, despite being the simplest!
fun game
Best civ ever. By a guy who plays since 1991.
:o
The most balanced version of Civilization that I have played.
..........
its cool i guess
very fun
This is it. The best civ. Checkout the Caveman-2-Cosmos mod! It adds literally hundreds of hours of new content
I've logged nearly 2000 hours into the Civ II thru VI series over the years. Civ IV Beyond the Sword is by far the best, despite the square spaces and dated graphics. The character animations are more lively, and some are even whimsical. I don't tire of the visitations like I do with V & VI. And the endgame in IV is still fun and exciting. Why? Because I never know when an AI leader will attack, and even bring their buddies to triple-team me simply for having the wrong religion or government, or not granting open borders. Kinda sounds like rl history imo. Sadly, beginning with V, the devs replaced warmongers with chummy AI characters who are content to amass weapons of war simply for building bonfires to roast marshmallows. How I wish that was true! But history and present day say otherwise. Civ IV captures the spontaneity and unpredictability of history, and makes it fun to rediscover and rewrite it over and over again.
Civ 4, in many ways, combines the best of all the Civilization games. Beautiful, complex without being complicated and just enough "help" without making it *too* easy.
Anyone who has enjoyed games like Warcraft should at least try this relaxed, beautiful journey into the gentler side of world domination.
An absolutely perfect game, old, but a classic. New games which are meant to be an upgrade don't quite capture its beauty and nostalgia. I have been playing since I was a child, and continue to do so into adulthood. It is the perfect game, a mix of diplomacy and friendship and bitter betrayal and war. Beyond the Sword is my favourite edition. Love this game and would highly recommend!
Much better balanced than CivII
Probably the Best Civ game ever made. even civ 5 and 6 are not good enough to be at the same lvl .
Well, its arguably the best. I enjoy Civ since the very first, my favourite was Test of Time for long time and now im not sure which one I like better but BtS with mods is the most rich experience of Civilization building ever.
Great!
This game is the peak of the franchise! Love it!
Civ good
it good
great
Pretty good, caveman 2 cosmos mod is huge
Best game I have even played. I like it better than the newer versions.
Still fun as it was when it came out way back when.
Best of Civilization series
deluxe
Base game 2005. Beyond the Sword 2007.
Still best Civ.
The ultimate enhancement to Civ IV - amazing hours of enjoyment
A classic. Civ 4 is the best Civ game, with Civ 3 a close second, if only due to my preference of the Civ 4 graphics.
I have well over 2000 hours in this game since 2009 when I bought the complete edition physical copy. I have played this game on 5 different computers I have owned since then. Earlier computers I played on were slow and I had to play on minimum graphics settings. Nowadays I can play it on max settings (trust me I know that is not a flex by any means lol). I love this game just the same across all of this time. looking forward to eventually hitting over 2k hours on steam. Just need to take one more turn.
heat
Still love this version beyond any later ones. I skipped Civ V. Tried the demo for Civ 6 and did not like it. World-building games are my favorite kind and Civ 4 is stiill the one I play every day
My brother and I used to play this all the time. He's gone now, but I still think of him when I play this. graphics aint to good, and I'm sure the newer ones are better, but this is nostalgia.
good
Timeless classic.
Great game play. whether solo, or with others
Some of the most badly programmed cheating AI I have ever witnessed in gaming. This is the weakest point of the series until VI.
Best ever
