I bought Civ 4 A while back as it was on offer, I've always fancied playing but never have and the lukewarm reviews of 5 put me off that version. Had a few hours on it over the weekend and I'm slowly getting to grips with it, there's a hell of a lot to take in though.

I like Civ4 a lot. The fact that there's a lot of different ways to play, and lots to take in, is a good thing.

 

Start at a pretty easy level to get the hang of how things progress.

I'm getting there but it's tough. I've worked up two difficulty levels and I'm currently dealing with additional Barbarians! I'm learning that you need to have different cities specialise in different things but it's a hard to get the balance right and not just follow the AI's recommendations. I'm pretty good at getting my score up and researching quickly but warfare seems to be my downfall, again I seem to be slowly understanding it.

 

I have a decent game going with Egypt; got about 6 of my own cities and then a German one wanted to defect to join me and I've taken a couple of Greek ones. I've just hit the first research needed for space flight and started turning out more military units as I first look to conquer this continent before crossing the water.

 

This game is addictive as hell!
