Sid Meier's Civilization IV is a singleplayer and multiplayer bird's-eye view 4X and TBS game in the Civilization series.
The game received two expansion packs: Warlords in July 2006, and Beyond the Sword in July 2007. Both expansions included a range of new units, mechanics, game modes and scenarios. Multiple patches were released for all versions.
In 2014, the Steam release was updated to replace the GameSpy multiplayer infrastructure with that of Steamworks and removed LAN, but it can be downgraded to the older version through a beta branch to re-enable compatibility with retail and GOG.com releases.
The game has no notable issues with running on modern systems as of March 2024.
