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

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.
-/+ 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
