As I said in the review deck the wonders videos are so wonderful that you try to build them all before another Civics. ruler.The new cultural borders for Civics. is a nice added touch,as well as all the great looking icons for commands and unit types etc.The graphics engine is great and the graphics are well rendered and polished.All the seemingly endless techs. to research and discover are a nice addition.The camera views/angles in Civics.IV are very user friendly...to a point that you can zoom out and look at the entire globe of earth along w/ the location of resources units etc.The only cons w/ Civics.IV is that there should be a male and female ruler for every race.For instance,Egypt has a female ruler and no male,as well Japan has a male and no female.Perhaps Cid will prompted 2K to make an expansion w/ these and maybe some other little tidbits.Another con is you can never seem to out way the other Civics. rulers in techs.It seems as though when you advanced, to say, the medieval age the other Civics. do to...or there not far behind.Case in point ,Like in Civ.II you could windup being so far more advanced than the other Civics. that you could have riflemen and they would still have horseman and archers at their disposal.So the hard work and effort in expanding quickly ,building wonders,and city improvements out the wa zoo and efficiently ,and even to the point of almost entirely neglecting military still does not seem to be enough to stay ahead...for long.One other feature still(and thankfully) availble is that tiny customizable thing called "The World Builder".With all this being said,Civics.IV is so sweet.Despite those little cons or peeves I have.Also there's the on-line and hot seat,and multi player modes,and Leonard Ne
moy who narrates the tech. advances.
