Sid Meier's Civilization® IV

Sid Meier's Civilization® IV, the fourth mainline entry in the long-running strategy series from Sid Meier and Firaxis Games, delivers a 4X turn-based strategy experience. Players guide a chosen civilization from its earliest settlements through millennia of development. Establish cities, research technological advancements, engage in diplomatic relations, and command military forces to expand territory and assert global dominance. New victory conditions and an expanded array of management tools are central to shaping the course of a civilization.

A newly detailed, living 3D environment elevates the visual presentation of the Civilization franchise. Expanded modding capabilities allow for user-generated content, while new multiplayer modes support competitive and cooperative play. Receiving unprecedented critical acclaim upon its release, Sid Meier's Civilization® IV was heralded as one of the top ten games of 2005.
