Its true!

Its fun when a game you never thought would be updated again gets an update.

Nice.  Civ IV is a great game.  I think the expansions bloated it to be a little too much though.  Still, best Civ since II for sure.

Yeah, I liked CivIV.  I like the culture feature introduced with CivIII, but there was too much emphasis on it in that game and military victories were basically impossible.  I struggled even wiping out individual nations.

In CivIV, large-scale military success can be achieved but it's still not quite like the original.

Haha, really?  It's so funny, I found it to be the complete opposite.  I always tried to get cultural wins and found it utterly impossible.  I loved the concept but could never quite make it work, but had much better luck with military conquest.

I never did get CivIV.  I really wanted it at one point, but I waited so long I just wonder if I should wait for the inevitable next installment, you know?

II is still my favourite games of all time!

Nah, spend the money and get the new civ iv complete compilation.  It's worth it.

I just re-installed CivIV and downloaded the newest patch.  When I went to install it, I was informed that I am already running v1.61.  The patch idol links to is for the expansion Beyond the Sword.

Oh, I didnt know it was for the expansion only.
