Sid Meier's Civilization IV Complete Edition Europe Steam CD Key
Sid Meier's Civilization IV is the fourth installment of the best-selling series of turn-based strategy games, launched in 1991 by the industry legend, Sid Meier.
In the fourth part of the cycle, the time has come for revolutionary changes, both in terms of the visual side of the program and its substantive content. Regarding the first factor, Firaxis Games developers used the Gamebryo 3D engine, which also powered their previous product - Sid Meier's Pirates! Thanks to it, a lot of animated objects have appeared on the world map, e.g. animals that react vividly to the development of new metropolises. Of course, the possibility of operating a camera suspended above the land has also been introduced, which allows you to see a selected part of the world, not only from any angle, but also at great close-up and distance. All the wonders of the world will now be perfectly visible on the main map, thanks to which the player will not have to dig through the list of cities to find them.
The game interface has been maximally simplified, thanks to which many icons that clutter the basic map of the world have disappeared. Firaxis Games, creating Sid Meier's Civilization IV, equipped the program with a huge number of prompts implemented in the form of the so-called "Tooltips", thanks to which a player who has not had contact with the previous installments of the series will get detailed information on every aspect of the game, without tediously browsing the manuals and the so-called Civilopedia (a built-in encyclopedia with all the information you need to play).
In Sid Meier's Civilization IV, the top-down definition of the form of government was completely abandoned, replacing it with a transparent system consisting in the selection of specific laws and regulations. Thanks to this, the program allows, for example, to create a police state that is strict for citizens, in which the right to democratic elections will be respected, or not - it all depends on the preferences of the player. Among other permanent elements, characteristic of the predecessors, which were eventually abandoned, the elimination of comforts and luxuries, which in extreme cases helped raise the morale of the unhappy inhabitants of the country, come to the fore. This factor has been completely replaced by an option called "culture", which performs the same functions as its predecessor and, in addition, affects the general level of our civilization. It is of great importance in contact with foreign nations, which have "learned" to abide by the principle of inviolability of borders. By maneuvering diplomatic options, the player may completely separate himself from the opponent under the threat of war, or allow him to trade freely in his territory.
Sid Meier's Civilization IV also puts a strong emphasis on the religious theme. Each nation that succeeds in discovering one of the most important movements related to the spiritual development of its inhabitants establishes a holy city on its territory, which will slowly expand its influence to other metropolises. This process can be sped up by using the services of missionaries. Of course, other nations will try to convince some of your inhabitants to their own religion, which may lead to the emergence of religious minorities in the country.
