Customer Reviews

Obsolete Piece of Software DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU ALREADY OWN BEYOND THE SWORD! All the core game changes, including wonders and civilizations, are included in Beyond the Sword. Only get this game if you want to have the scenarios that were included in Warlords. An average expansion that's essentially been phased out This was a decent expansion to the highly addictive Civ4 release but as of the release of Sid Meiers Civilization IV Beyond the Sword the Warlords Expansion pack is really moot. Now, if price is a factor, you do pay less for the Warlords expansion but the Beyond the Sword expansion not only retains the Warlords features, it adds tons and tons of new material. Yes, 2K games should have just skipped Warlords but they didn't and to those of us who bought both Warlords and Beyond the Sword, most of us may be a bit peeved. Alas, that is the nature of the computer gaming industry. Excellent expansion Long term civ fans may groan when an expansion appears, offerings to previous games in the series having offered little in the way of interesting play, but merely offered a few ornements like a new civ or some new units. Not so with Civ 4: Warlords. Of course this offers the usual, a few new civs like Koreans, Vikings, Carthanaginians, and the return of the old favorite Zulus, but that is what makes this a worthwhile expnasion. On the side of the mundane and worthwhile, the game now does things like dispalys the odds for each encounter when you attack, a useful addition to learning players. Of strategic interest the game gives each civ a unique building, really a variant on a pre-existing structure, but a wrinkle that will give players some food for thought. Where the expansion really shines is on the creative side. The designers truly went out of their way here. THings like the chance to play the barbarians -- a faciniating idea that gives interesting perspective -- or highly creative scinarios such as one being the mongols in the conquest of asia where you have no cities and develop techs through conquest -- an excellent strategic metaphor for nomadic expansion. Overall, those who did not like civ 4 should not bother. But for those who found them perpetually moving their cursor for "another chance" this game proves well worthwhile.
