Sid Meiers Civilization IV Beyond the Sword Review (continued)

great addition to CIV IV
I play civilization since the first version (used to play in a black and white monitor in a 386 pc. good times)
I love civ4 and I'm completely addicted to it. I really enjoy the additions, the new civilizations (Why portugal was not in the previous versions??). The new tech tree makes more sense and the already programed random events are really cool!! I think that Espionage was neglected in the previous versions and this expansion made up for them.

Awesome Game
Civilization 4: BTS is the best computer game ever. It added a ton of cool new features to the original Civilization 4. I only expected a few minor changes, but I was wrong. They added a bunch of new units, buildings, civilizations, leaders, and many other things. The combat in this game is very life-like and the Warlord is an excellent new addition. I would recommend this game to anyoune who is interested. I have had it for a few months now and it isn't gettin boring at all. With this new expansion pack you will never have a dull moment. Also, the graphics and sound are great. This expansion pack also made the game run a liitle faster. Hope you enjoy the game, too.

Wonderful Addition to a Great Game
This is a great expansion pack to (probably) the best PC game. As opposed to the previous expansion pack (Warlords) and the original game, the playability seems better. There are, of course, more units, technologies, civilizations, etc. The "Rhyse and Fall of Civilization" is a particularly interesting scenario.

install issues
If you have window's vista do not buy this game. civ 4 gold edition is required to play civ 4 on windows vista. beyond the sword, however, in incompatable with civ 4 gold edition. during the install it says there is a newer version of civ 4 available and attempts to download. this always ends in an aborted download and install. after 6 months of talking to the support staff for this product i've given up. i am cosidering consulting a lawyer concering this product. they are falsely advertising it as compactable with window's vista and civ 4 gold edition. do not buy this if you have window's vista. it has been out for over a year and firaxis/take2games has done nothing to address this issue.

More fun than Scooter Libby in drag
Declaring war without the interference of Congress has never been so much fun. In fact it is some engrossing that I thought I was playing a game only to find out I was sitting at a LSTAT terminal directing real troops movements (I made up some hubbub about WMD's and such to cover the invasion, war weariness really is a huge hassle).
Despite that the inclusion of events and espionage really make the late game more interesting. The new civs and leaders are well done and add even mroe depth to the game. And if somehow you do get a little bored of the main game there are a dizen scenarios that cover everything from historical events, to flying spaceships and fighting dragons.
