Video Game Reviews of Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Warlords Expansion Pack
Customer Review: FUN but somewhat lacking in something?!
Summary: 4 Stars
In playing the game recently, it lacks a earth vision of all civs in the game (dissapointment = unhappyness ): ) There are a couple of mods and patches to play a full earth vison but, still lacking. For the transition between CIV IV and CIV IV warlords the obelisk was in all civilizations, now it is a monument and the obelisk is now part of the egyption empire's special buildings. Feels cheezy when they can't think of anything else to replace from a expansion pack. Although warloards now have newer controls, I wish they could improve the technology a bit that can expand your financial controls insted of manipulating the tax rate, Maybe an inflation control mechnisim. This new problem makes expansion a problem if the title of the expansion pack is "warloards" (IF you conqure land, there goes your expenditures to inflation!) No matter the funny quarks another expansion pack for domestic issues could be made (Firaxis: $$$$$ Bling-Bling). Well the game is best I've seen in a while, but can there be a better control system for this Civilized Conquest?Customer Review: WishekN

Civilization games have been around it seem like forever. This was a pretty good one, but I have liked a couple of others better. If you're hooked on Civ, you should like this one, too. Customer Review: Civilization IV just got better...
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this upgrade! There are significant advantages this game allows with new wonders, if you build them first. I love the addition of Warlords, who are famous people that allow you to build military units faster, or with more experience, or they can also give established units a large experience boost. The addition of other leaders and cultures is nice also. Well worth the money!Customer Review: Latest in a Fine Franchise
Summary: 5 Stars
Civ IV is one of the finest strategic games on the market today. It has built upon its earlier editions, preserving most of the unique features. The developers have especially turned out new educational content, plus great richness and variety in the content overall. I use Civ III in a middle school strategic gaming club I run with my son, and the only way we could improve on it is by upgrading to Civ IV.
Like other game producers, Firaxis has adopted the policy of publishing games that are slightly lean in content but with an enriching expansion planned. To fully appreciate this game, it would be nearly essential to have the expansion ... plus, of course, the original, as the expansion won't play without both.
Many gamers these days don't like turn-based games, such as this one, but in a multiplayer game with 'simultaneous turns' checked, you have most of the seat-of-the-pants fun of other strategy games. A big plus with this game, especially if you are going to use it in the schools as we do, is that it can be played and won in a variety of non-violent modes.
Customer Review: Good add-on
Summary: 4 Stars
Civ IV is one of the more addictive games I've played. The add-on provides some new wrinkles: I especially like each civilization having a unique building in addition to unique characters. I would give it higher rating, but the price is a bit much for an add-on. (That being said, I bought it within the first week it was available!)
