Greetings all. I've been playing Vanilla on OS X for years and I've never even seen the expansions. (Yes, really.) I recently returned to it after a hiatus during which I was considering getting Civ5 and, well, between my love for this game and my perusing of these forums, I've concluded that upgrading 4 would be wiser than paying for 5. So what do you guys recommend? In a way a downloadable upgrade would be ideal, as I live in China and shipping is iffy at best, but I'm wary of versions that restrict the storing and usage of content (like Steam, I'm told). I would be willing to brave the postal system if the shipped version were cheap enough, but while the internet is full of cheap versions for Windows, even expensive versions for OS X are scant. Furthermore, with the disc version of Complete, are the discs actually necessary to play or only to install? Any and all information would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
