Not being made originally for Win 7, I planned installation problems. But nay !!! After that it's fun. Certainly, the graphics and animations are at the bare minimum, but not buy a turn-based strategy for that. Considering the price of the box, no hesitation. A must as a whole. With exemplary ergonomics, the neophyte that I am is benefiting. This game promises taping me very long hours of discovery and pleasure. It is by reading the reviews on Civ 5 I chose Civ 4 and I am delighted with this purchase. Long live the strategists of all civilizations!
