Title: Beyond The Sword
Post by: phoenixemperor on August 05, 2007, 08:20:25 am

Just got the new Civ IV expansion and ..dear god this is what all expansions should be. Add a ****load of content and not just be worthless money makers (I'm looking at you Battlefield expansions  :p). The new civs and leaders are all great. The Byzantines, Holy Roman Empire and Ethiopians are my favourites so far.

So what are HLP's thoughts?

I agree!  Quite impressive!  Best expansion since Alien Crossfire!

And I am amazed that Firaxis went one better and included all the content from Warlords except scenarios -- thus all the civs, leaders, custom units and buildings.  As I was still on the fence about purchasing Warlords, this was a nice surprise.

I love the new espionage system.  So far I haven't done too much more than keep an eye on what the enemy is researching, but there's lots of potential.  The corporations are pretty cool too -- as if my cities weren't already big enough :p
