A game that gives me time for interruptions (wife, kids, life) and then continue. Use of strategy. Enjoyable and relaxing

I had everything. I sailed every sea. I had no enemies. I was a nuclear powered Egyptian Jewish state that flirted with Communism. Then they came. They? Yes, the sea people. The Carthaginians. The Carthaginians took everything. City by city they marched on me. There was nothing left. The Egyptian Jewish (almost) Communist state was no more. Great game. Gameplay 10/10. Replaybility 10/10. Historical accuracy 2/10

Always been a fan of the series, never played beyond Civ 3. Very Happy with this Civ 4 with 3 add ons for a ridicuously cheap £2.99. Thats 75p a game, unbelievable. Anyway the game, very slick graphics, massively improved AI diplomacy and trade system. More victory conditions , more techs, more units, religion, culture, massively overhauled combat system, and more map types. I'm in Civ heaven. Start a game up, and easiely lose days to the "just one more turn" trick. A game that never stops giving, this game is so flexible its almost the perfect game ever, second only to Skyrim I think.
