because that's how steam works, to my understanding.First of all: In a game like Civilization there’s no such thing as the “one way to win”. it's also what makes the most sense, as if it worked otherwise the expansions would be treated as proper DLC and installed accordingly. So, yeah, install beyond the sword (and maybe colonization) and let the others just float in your account, sadly uninstalled and useless, unless you particularly liked those versions.ĭisclaimer: the above is based pretty much entirely on a quick google which spat out a bunch of forum posts. and then realising i'd got the expansions out of order so if it had mattered it would have screwed it all up anyway *laughs* Of course, i discovered this After telling steam to install them all. (you can't play beyond the sword without warlords. and if you want to just play the base game, you can just install the vanilla Civ IV version. There's some weirdness about Buying them (can't buy the expansions without first buying the base game), but if you got it all in a bundle that doesn't matter.īut, for those people who want to play warlords Without beyond the sword, you can install the Warlords version instead. if you install that version, it contains everything. it's not relevant to working out Civ IV.īeyond the Sword is the last expansion for Civ IV. However, the last in the series, Colonization, is the only one that specificly states you do not need to own Civ-4 in order to play it.Ĭolonization is a seperate thing. Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.Īll 3 of the expansions sound like stand alone games to me, based on the descriptions from the store page for each of them. Which of these (aside from Civ-4 itself) is a stand alone game? Which of these represents the most complete edition of Civ-4?Ģ. Sorry if I'm coming across as dense, but before I download anything, could someone please give me some clarification on two questions.ġ. Looking through the descriptions in the store still leaves me a little confused, and I'm not certain I fully understand the response to the OP of this thread either.
I am aware though that some Civ titles are intended as stand alone games. Normally when I get a "complete" edition it comes as a bundled pack that requires just one download, as Civ3 did. I was a little confused with this as well.
