Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword is the second expansion pack for Civilization IV - the 2005 PC Game of the Year and a major commercial success, selling over 1.5 million units worldwide since its October 2005 release. The expansion will focus on the late-game time periods after the invention of gunpowder and will deliver 12 challenging and decidedly different scenarios created by the development team at Firaxis Games, as well as members of the Civilization Fan Community. Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword will also include ten new civilizations, 16 new leaders, five new wonders, and a variety of new units that will offer even more fun and exciting ways for players to expand their civilization’s power as they strive for world domination.

First concept art pictures and more details can be found here: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/civilizationivbeyondthesword/

Looking forward to this one, think you'll buy it too?
 
Corporation idea could be interesting - sounds like a religion system in which you can trade excess resources for other benefits. Or maybe that's completely inaccurate.
 
I think so... I just don't like the idea of an expansion every 6 months or so... thought CivIV had enough to overcome this (mod possibilities etc).. for us in Brazil $30 bucks converted to reais turns out to be almost a FULL GAME, though I like these features more than those of Warlords..

just updating.. $30 omg.. and Cristo Redentor BIG LOL
 
Is this genuine or an early april joke? Sounds interesting, but one of the screenshots looks a little odd (the blurry one with the woman and the guy with a gun).

If it's genuine, it sounds good. Not revolutionnary, but the new options (more spying!) are appealing.
 
i just bought warlords, but this looks really great. i'm looking forward to "Expanded UN" and "Expanded Space Race". What do you think they will be like? I hope that disaster can be turned off, anyway. I won't like if random things ruin my civ

It's due for release in July so that would be a year, not 6 months, after Warlords was released (although I can't speak for the Brazilian distributors of both expansion packs).

If it is joke, Firaxis and 2K are cold-hearted towards their fans! This looks great! I especially like the addition of corporations, the Dutch, and the return of the Mausoleum of Maussollos.

I agree that screenshot is a little odd as well, though. Are they supposed to be spies?
 
Oooh! Sounds shiny! Abe's looking good too! I wonder what the other 7 civs are... we have
-Portugal
-Netherlands
-Babylon
Maybe some Native Americans, based on the art work and the presence of some colonial civs? Ah yes...yet more opportunities for historical irony!:lol:
 
If this is true, then its terribly disappointing. I was really hoping for some modding tools, an events editor and such as that.
 
Meh, I was hoping it was Beyond the STARS.

Oh well. Excited for the modern age!

I like the bringing back and expansion of random events. Natural disasters woo!

No, it's no April Fool's joke. :p

They're concept artwork, not in-game screenshots.
