Installing Warlords, can I continue old games?

[srd2k7]

I purchased Warlords online and should be arriving later today, but I was wondering if I can still complete my current game after installing.

My current game is on the World Map and I have conquered most of the world. I still have some enemies and was hoping with the expansion I could force them into vassalage for a conquest/domination victory. There aren't enough turns to do it the old fashioned way I don't think.

So will I be able to complete this game with Warlords' vassals feature? Or only in a newly started game?

I'm fairly certain you have to start a new game There are a lot of additions to the game, and I'm pretty sure it probably runs on a different program, or maybe even a mod? I'm sure someone with more intelligence as to how the game runs and what differences the platforms have will come along and give you the "why" better than I can.

I'm almost positive you can't use it on your current game. Sorry!

Nope. You'll be able to play your old game still by loading up the original Civ4, (it doesn't go away) but not with the new features.

Oh well. I ended up pulling a Diplomatic victory. It was getting under 60 turns and China had become technologically savvy. I couldn't just mow through them anymore. Built the UN and had enough votes just by myself to get into office. Now I can get down to Warlords...
