Its fun when a game you never thought would be updated again gets an update.

Nice.  Civ IV is a great game.  I think the expansions bloated it to be a little too much though.  Still, best Civ since II for sure.

Yeah, I liked CivIV.  I like the culture feature introduced with CivIII, but there was too much emphasis on it in that game and military victories were basically impossible.  I struggled even wiping out individual nations.

In CivIV, large-scale military success can be achieved but it's still not quite like the original.

Haha, really?  It's so funny, I found it to be the complete opposite.  I always tried to get cultural wins and found it utterly impossible.  I loved the concept but could never quite make it work, but had much better luck with military conquest.

I never did get CivIV.  I really wanted it at one point, but I waited so long I just wonder if I should wait for the inevitable next installment, you know?

Nah, spend the money and get the new civ iv complete compilation.  It's worth it.

I just re-installed CivIV and downloaded the newest patch.  When I went to install it, I was informed that I am already running v1.61.  The patch idol links to is for the expansion Beyond the Sword.
