Quick compatibility question - US/UK versions

[Sabreman]

Hi, I recently bought a UK DVD version of Civ4 which I've been playing for a couple of weeks, but I spotted a US Special Edition version on ebay with soundtrack CD and stuff which I went ahead and bought (soundtracks always sway me).

Anyway, now I have a UK version to trade in or sell on, but the installed UK DVD version won't let me play from the US play CD. I'll have to uinstall/reinstall but my question is will my existing save games be compatible? I'd just like to know before I go ahead and faff with uninstalling/installing/uninstalling/reinstalling etc. If not I'll have to hold off a bit until I've completed my current Marathon game

Thanks!

Save games are compatible, so long as you patch to the same version - if you've not come across the idea of passing them between players all over the world in a Succession Game, you're missing out

Cool, thanks. Only been playing Civ for a couple of weeks
