The fourth installment in one of the most important game series ever created is here. In Civilization IV, like in the previous games, the player starts with a single village in the Stone Age and must advance from there by exploring, founding cities, researching, exploiting natural resources and eventually trading or making war with neighbouring civilizations. Civilization III put cultural influence in the forefront and this time it is religion that is put forward as the invisible factor underlying many aspects of the game.
In addition Civilization IV attempts to streamline gameplay by removing some features (corruption, pollution) which slowed down the late stages of the game and making significant changes to the combat system so that tactical thinking plays a more important role. Units now have a single combat value instead of defence and attack values, have a special ability and can be further enhanced with experience in a player defined way.
Finally the new game offers the most significant aesthetic improvements since the transition from I to II with a detailed 3D map, environmental ambiance and well animated units.
