So Sid Meier's Civilization IV wasn't enough for you, you had to push the envelope -- wanted more from the game, more scenerios, more civilizations, more rulers, more Wonders. Well, 2K Games heard your cry and came out with Warlords--the first expansion pack for Civilization IV. I know because it said so right on the box. Is it more of the same, or is there literally more to the story? Read on and learn...

Installation:

Minimum Requirements:
same as Sid Meier's Civilization IV.

Recommended Requirements:
same as Sid Meier's Civilization IV.

The game came on a single CD, and it is required to be in the drive tray to play the game. Usually an expansion pack just mods the files in the directory, but there's more on the CD apparently. On first launch the game will contact the mothership and update to the latest version, then continue on as usual.

Story 8/10

Still no real story, be born a couple thousand years ago, raise your civilization to the stars and beyond, etc.....

Graphics 9/10

Again, more of the same as Sid Meier's Civilization IV. I didn't see any tweaking of anything graphically, just more new pretty things on the screen.

Sound 9/10

More Spock in grand and glorious detail, even more classical music - maybe up to 4 hours before repeating.
