If like me, you're a hardcore Civ fan who cherishes every single speck of Civ-related content, then Warlords is something you bought on day one and you're only reading this review because you're taking a break between turns. Still, we're a little disappointed that there's not more going on in the modern era. Triremes, Great Walls, and Numidian Horsemen are all well and good, but once the game hits the Renaissance, you've pretty much run out of cool new toys. We certainly hope the next expansion offers more across all eras of the game.
The new scenarios and civilizations really do add a great deal to the existing game, and, while many people haven’t had time to get tired of the original yet (it hasn’t been a year since the original game’s release), other, more die-hard gamers who’ve exhausted the original will find this expansion really does breathe new life into the old. So, yes, I do think that this expansion is worth the expenditure.
Yet even when things get repetitive, there's something undeniably awesome about waging war on a grand scale. Warlords may not be the most multifaceted expansion pack ever made, but it is an exceedingly addictive one that adds new content and a new style of play to Civ IV. Both wimps and warriors will love this one.
