Civ Virgin

So I picked up Civ 4 complete, Civ 5 GOTY and Stronghold in a an amazon deal a little whiles back for 20 bucks.

Got around to playing Civ 5 two days ago.

Played the tutorial campaign to completion straight through and played an entire game, 3500BC-1960AD, last night. (Germans ftw)

Is 4 really worth playing after running through 5 at this point?

Whats Civ?

EDIT: Wait, is Civ Civilization?

Each game in the series has its own unique rules, units, technologies, diplomacy system, etc. Not only is 4 worth playing, so are 2 and 3. You can skip the first and Call to Power.

I love the series and cannot count how many hours I've spent on it. This thread makes me want to start a game right now, but I know if I do, I'll be up all night.

I've put over 250 hours into Civilization V since release. If you like Civ V, you should probably get the expansion, Gods and Kings. It pretty much changes the whole game and adds a bunch of stuff that they stupidly took out of the original release, like religions and espionage.

Install Civ IV, and download the Fall From Heaven mod. It makes it a brand new, totally excellent game.

Civ is da bes

Are there any graphical mods for Civilization IV that makes it look less awful?

I was used to (and actually liked) the Civilization III graphics. I god used to and now really like the Civilization V graphics. I can't however stand the way that Civ IV looks.
