The 4th most popular strategy game on Mac OS X
ShareSid Meier's Civilization is a turn-based strategy game that challenges players to build and expand an empire, throughout all of human history, and become the most powerful ruler in the world. Choose one of 18 nations to lead and go head to head with some of the most famous leaders in history. Each civilization has its own special characteristics - some are fairly peaceful, while others are expansionists and conquerors. You'll battle your foes with a huge arsenal of weapons, beginning with primitive archers and warriors, then catapults, knights and frigates, and eventually with modern tanks, submarines, mobile infantry, helicopter gunships, stealth bombers, and nuclear weapons. However, Civilization IV is more than just a great combat game: you can also achieve victory through diplomatic cunning, cultural or religious alliances, and technological dominance. Civilization IV delivers faster mid and late game AI turns, and offers greater control over your civilization's government and religions, while at the same time de-emphasizing the less fun micromanagement (cleaning up pollution, for example). And there's more! Civ IV has been designed from the ground-up to deliver fantastic multiplayer gaming options, as well as unprecedented modding tools - allowing you to create new units, game maps, scenarios, and even entire new civilizations!… More Edit

After getting addictive to playing Civ Revolutions on the iPod Touch over the last week or so, I had to dig out my copy of Civ 4. Civ 4 is a great time wasting game, and can be picked up very cheaply now, so well worth the money. I'd forgotten how good the "theme" is on the menu screen.
Just love building up a huge civilazation and taking over the world, but the UN does annoy me banning my nukes...
I'm still addicted to this game, about twice a year I go through a phase where I can't do anything but play civ IV. I'm not that good at the game at more difficult levels, in fact I find it down right frustrating.
However the success of building a great civilazation is satisfying.
An oldie but a goodie that I still find myself firing up every once in a while for long periods of time.
sid meier knows how to do good games. so addictive, but its artifical intelligence is not perfect.for example a chariot can beat a tank sometimes in the battles!
Awesome game. A bit old, but still great!
One of my favourite strategy series since CIV2:)
Very nice game. Love the graphics. Nice, distracting, strategy game.
Really addictive... oddly enough.
Addictive. Nice brain numbing distraction
its a great game, it runs bad on my laptop, but its turn based, so it doesn't really matter. lol. Its a good game. Lots of replay value, lots of options. Can be run in a window, or lots of other settings. Good times.
I don't like its 3D UI, and I prefer to play with Civ3 fully enhanced with nice hacks (like DyP).
just great ;)
Great game!
fun game, wayyyyy better than civ3
