- 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.

The ways in which the AI attempt to achieve victory have also been expanded.

The last great game of Civ.
Best civ game there ever was
Every games different, Load a Mod, Select parameters and go.
Strategise, Conquer, be challenged and just enjoy it, I do, that's why I've done over 4500 hours
its great and fun
One of the classics. I think this was the best version of Civ they created.
Playability / Enjoyment 8/10
Graphics / Sound 5/10
Woke / ESG score 0/10
Story / Writing 3/10
Replayability 8/10
This introduced a huge overhaul to the graphics and gameplay. The graphics were improved significantly and new game play mechanics added (although some like espionage were implemented poorly). You actually see the World Wonders being built which I enjoyed and the new civics were good but not great. The main issue with this game is the notifications on the other civ actions, that appear and disappear at the top of the screen meaning they are very easy to miss. Another smaller issue is that the processing time between turns increased fairly significantly since Civ3. Overall this is a huge improvement on Civ 3 and highly recommended.
I played this game mostly by myself. No one ever wanted to play with me, but I bet it would be a lot of fun playing multiplayer for many days in a row.
1000's if not 10's of 1000's of hours playing multiplayer, Love this game
is reel good
Combined with the astonishingly good mod "Realism Invictus", this is by far the best Civilization to this day.
Civilization 4 is a Amazing Turn based Strategy game! Not as great as Civilization 5 BUT still my second favorite Civilization game! I spent many weekends playing hotseat games with my Friends. I recommend trying a MAX Opponent game on the smallest world size! This makes it where the place you spawn in at is where your only city will be since the world is instantly filled. So the only way to gain new cities is to either overwhelm your rivals by force IF you're lucky enough to have iron or copper in your city or by overshadowing them via culture. This way of playing makes every aspect of the game more thought provoking since you're limited with the one city but so are your opponents! On normal difficulty and Fast speed games take typically around 24 hours to complete!
No offense to the later games but I like squares over hexagons and I love my death stacks. Removal of unit stacking imo made defense and offense to one dimensional.
fun
I grew up playing this game on disc. While I didn't really know what I was doing back then since I was a kid, I still remember really enjoying playing. I bought it again recently for the sake of nostalgia. After playing a couple games and actually understanding what's going on, I can confirm that this is a good game and my memories weren't lying.
great
Its the OG - too many reasonswhy this game is the best.
This game is pretty good
played it for way to long lol
Please consider remaking this game, Firaxis Games. Although I did enjoy playing Civ5 and Civ6, Civ4 is still my most favorite Civilization game.
I've been playing this on and off on several accounts for over a decade. It's good.
better than all the new ones
Ive always been a big fan of this franchise. Beyond the sword holds a big portion of my early journey into the series. There is also a mod within this game that allows some pretty great futuristic civilization gameplay.
It's amazingly and endlessly re-playable. Offers quick games and longer term games to suit your mood.
I like playing at the lower levels because the game goes faster. I like the Germans because you get scouts and other advantages. In my capital first I build a granary, then Stone Henge and next the Oracle. I find I need these 2 wonders to win a game. For a set up I like 2 continents, small and a lower coastline. This also makes the game goes faster. Thank you Sid Meier. I definitly recommend Civ IV Beyond the Sword . You also get emerging Generals. Who you can research. Have fun. Ivan the Terrible.
w game
good
8/10
I only recently picked this up on Steam, but I've invested hundreds, if not thousands of hours into this game over the past 20 years, and I keep returning to it. I think it's the best strategy game ever made.
This is Sid 's best. The new ones are bad. He needs to go back to what made people play this game.
This is a classic, in my opinion. You can choose to play leisurely or competitively, depending on your mood.
The culmination of Civ 2+3+4.
Five and six are fundamentally different, so this is the last of the series that had squares and doomstacks. If that's your thing then get this.

Doubtlessly one of the great entries in the Civilization franchise, this nearly twenty year old game has been functionally superseded by numerous sequels since it's original release.
Last great Civilisation game. It all went downhill from here.
For Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword, even after many years, I still recommend the "Realism Invictus" mod which offer much more complex but balanced game.
A game that truly stands the test of time. Even ignoring the amazing modding community that this game has, the core gameplay is addictive in a way I haven't found later games in the franchise ever quite reached. I didn't understand the "just one more turn" joke about this franchise until I played this edition. Also Leonard Nimoy is an amazing narrator.
it is a great game i would like to see a new one but it is still a great game
Great game, have spent countless hours on it. The best civ game in my opinion
The ultimate expression of the original version of Civilization. Civilization 5 & 6 are very different games.
Just another version of Sid Meier's Civ. If you enjoy playing the other Civ versions, you will also enjoy this version as well. The mechanics are the same.
“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.”
I love being a caveman going to the Cosmos. Highly recommended, and going to space with multimaps is amazing. Best civ 4 experience out of all of them.
great game
prolly my favorite civ game. tried to return to 5 after a few years and just couldn't get into it. 6 seems even further away from my late 90s-early 00s experience. still has the one more turn feel after all these years
DSP is a selfish e-begger, who only thinks about himself.
Please dont give him any money,as he spends it on sweaty j-pegs of Hulk Hogan.
civ 4 is the best of the bunch, not too complex and great combat mechanics
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.

++ gameplay
+++++++++++++ replay value
