After a few duds lately, I'd say this is actually a good deal if you're a PC gamer. Unfortunately(or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), it's still a pass for me since I already have Civ4.

This includes Civ4 and the Warlords expansion, as well as some stuff like a poster and behind-the-scenes DVD.

I'm just glad this site is back up!

I'm not much of a PC gamer so I gotta pass....thanks, tho!

Amazon must have a huge backlog of this game if it's been on sale for the last couple of weeks for $32.99 and the price was dropped further for today. Those of you that ended up taking the plunge at $32.99 make sure you call in and get the $13 refund!

This game is great.. that is a good price as well.. if I had a gaming PC i'd jump all over this..

This is a phenomenal deal. About time!

Only "catch" is that I've got it on Gametap, but I don't think that has the expansion, and this way I can always play it

Whoops, I forgot to ask the usual-anyone know if this game has any "ACTIVATION" or other weird DRM? I'm 100% fine with having to keep the disc in the drive, but not with "activation".

Gah, I just wish they had a DOTD that I cared about (CoD4 and Civ4 are great deals... but I have them already :() I keep kicking myself for passing on the eye of judgement... doh!

In for one. I have been waiting for this to drop.

I cannot recommend this deal enough.
$20 for both games. The Warlords expansion that comes with it is good, but getting Civ 4 alone for $20 is a complete no brainer.

Wow. I have been waiting for an excuse to FINALLY get Civ4. This is it. Thanks!

Just a note - the Warlords expansion that's included in this deal is good, but the second expansion (Beyond the Sword) includes most of the features from Warlords.

I would still jump all over this deal if you do not have Civ 4. Buy this, play them, get familiar, and hopefully a deal for Beyond the Sword comes around sometime as well. As I said before, $20 for the game without any expansions would be a steal. Throw in a good expansion? Amazing.

Excellent deal if you don't have Civ IV. You can get Civ IV and then the Beyond the Sword expansion for cheap. Sweet

The only thing stopping me from grabbing this is that I'm hearing Vista has problems but are fixed in Beyond the Sword? While I want to get the game as I haven't touched a Civ game in like eight years, compatibility issues are a stopper for me.

Anyone know if this can run on Vista 64bit without game stopping errors? I don't plan on going back to 32bit until I make my next PC sometime later this year.

This game is a MUST buy. Careful though, it's like crack!

Draekon - I don't know about any specific issues with Vista 64 bit.
I was able to run Beyond the Sword on a relatively new Vista 32 bit home premium laptop, no issues whatsoever.

A search at Civfanatics showed that some people had issues with Vista but that was mainly this time last year, just after Vista launched, and most seemed to resolve it without too much hassle. (i.e. the problem did not appear to be endemic.)

Hope that helps.

Glad I waited (and waited and then completely forgot about this game). Thanks, Hitze. My discipline with not biting on Underground Pool paid off!

Much thanks, I think I'll go ahead and bite. Worse case scenario I'll go into Windows XP since I dual boot and install it there or wait until I can get a deal on Beyond the Sword.

great deal, this is a great game.

thinking of jumping on this lol

More specifically, BtS contains all the gameplay additions/changes in Warlords and excludes only the Warlords scenarios.
