Civ IV : A worthy Addition to a fantastic series of epic computer games

What's new in Civ IV?

New features in Civilzation Four

A few Major Changes have been made to the game. In my opinion, they are all for the good. These include:
  • 3D resolution and graphics for the entire game. The entire world is animated and changes and grows as the game goes on.
  • Simplified City Management. Health and Happiness are the two factors that your populace effect. A major improvement.
  • Civics Replace Governments. Instead of having to pick one government, you can pick and choose the traits that you like as you research them from religion to economic policy and beyond.
  • Unit Promotions. As your units gain glory through destroying inferior races, they can be given new combat bonuses and special traits.

    use barbarians to your advantage: keep an area in fog and send new units "Questing" to gain quick promotions, and possibly a free city.
