Best CIV Ever Forever and ever!

CIV 4 is the most sophisticated and well motivierenste CIV the entire series.
A warning in advance, there is frustration potential, since it is not easy to master.
But you can enter at a low level of difficulty.
Second Warning: The hardware should vote.
Otherwise the computer on large maps can sometimes be quite slow.

For game mechanism:
Many things were principled completely revised compared to its predecessors:
- The modernization will be created by construction crews, the entire system has been significantly improved
- Experienced military units: they can purchase additional "Properties" by Erfahung from recovering from fighting, experienced units develop an unsuspected power and choice of property such as better city defense is crucial
- Great personalities
- Experts
- Religion
- Golden Age
- The concept of the size of the cities: Now controlled by dissatisfaction and health
- The system of government: Is now a modular design and offers many combination possibilities
- Luxury goods and commodities (more than in Civ3 and much more important role)
- Diplomacy with AI (very challenging)

there are just too many things that were especially improved very profoundly and in detail in order to describe them.
My recommendation: Just try.

Available for people to trash or which lack the appropriate intellect is but nothing. it takes time until the mechanisms has really understood, a means are there, the forums. He andw only on the fast would have fun, it should not be set.
