100The new mods alone, including space-based and mythological scenarios, are enough to keep a dedicated player occupied for days, and the new civilizations and systems introduce so many new layers to the gameplay that Civilization IV is practically a new game entirely.
-
100Where Beyond the Sword will really win you over is with the new scenarios and mods. There is some truly wonderful stuff in here.
-
74The new elements it adds feel more like a patch than a genuine expansion whilst the mods are hit and miss - and you can already get the best ones for nothing. Would I want to go back to playing Civ IV without what Beyond the Sword adds? No. But should I have to pay this much for the privilege of balancing a game that, by the very intent of this expansion, its developers clearly feel needs it? Again, no.

BalazsC.10I would easily give this a 11 out of 10. This expansion seriously beats the warlords in my opinion and even that was excellent.
