Thanks for taking the time to better explain that. This thread was useful to me. If anyone is trying to figure out what you have to actually buy to get all the games, this version has all of them: Sid Meier's Civilization IV: The Complete Edition If you try to just buy "Beyond the Sword", it will let you get to check out but tell you you have to first install the original.
As described above, just installing "Beyond the Sword" will give you the original and the two expansion packs. Last edited by yto ; 31 Dec, am. Medavelvan View Profile View Posts. The main problem is how this might affect mods, like Fall From Heaven 2. There may be other odd problems, but this is the first one I found. This should probably be a pinned post.

As Jason mentions, four of the entries can be safely ignored, depending on your OS. Whichever ones won't install are the ones that won't run on your system. Unless you hate the things Warlords and Beyond the Sword add, there's really no reason to play the "base game" Civ4. Beyond the Sword incorporates almost everything in Warlords , minus a few scenarios. If you want the "full" Civ4 experience, you might as well play that one. I didn't like Beyond the Sword that much though, I think it was the tweaks to the tech tree, or maybe Espionage?
Colonization is a totally separate game, so it has very little to do with Civ4 and its expansions. The first is that there is a separate entry in Steam for the Mac and Windows versions. I'm not sure why this is, as other games successfully use a single entry and install the correct version based on the current OS. That is why there are four separate entries for Civ IV.

Ask Question. Asked 7 years, 5 months ago. It is fun for a few sessions but gets old quickly compared to the game it is based on. Fans complained during Civilization III's lifespan that it did not live up to Alpha Centauri , lacking the additions that game made. Play the World did not help, being one of the buggiest expansions ever released by Firaxis.
Hailed for being Play the World but good, Conquests fixes issues brought from that expansion while adding some unique features. New governments were added, alongside the typical civilizations. Moreover, this expansion brought meaningful scenarios, bite-sized games in special periods of history that take significantly less time to complete than a full Civ game—a godsend for the now fixed multiplayer.
This expansion added things that all future games included, and the fixes to Play the Game showed how amazing multiplayer Civilization truly is.
Scenarios were the focal point of this expansion, adding 20 new ones for players to enjoy. The typical addition of units, technology, and music are all bundled like you would expect. Besides that, a scenario editor was also included to let players create custom scenarios to play.
Conflicts in Civilization was sparse for additions compared to what the series has achieved since then, lacking mechanical innovations that future games have seen. The scenarios themselves were great, but that is practically all you were getting with this expansion.
Beyond the Sword is Civilization cranked up to The number of additions made improved so many things it would take an entire list just to cover them all. Meaningful innovations were further supported with general game improvements as well. Corporations, advanced starts, natural disasters, expanded victory conditions, AI improvements, new game types, random events, and even espionage are all included, and that's not even everything.
This is the best version of Civilization that exists and can be further tweaked through fantastic community mods and extensive options from the game itself. This expansion is a must-play for any Civ fan. Play the World is the only Civilization expansion that is objectively bad.
While all expansions bring additions and try to innovate, Play the World was playing catchup with Civ II , and doing a terrible job at that.
