Warlords adds even more to a game that started out great and only continues to be an excellent turn based strategy game.

Warlords isn't as huge an expansion pack as some of the previous Civilization titles have had, but it's the best balanced, most refined expansion pack a Civilization title has ever had, and it carries more than enough new content to justify the purchase price.

Civilization IV Warlords will please all but the most pacifistic of Civilization players.

The reason it falls short of a fantastic expansion is that it does not influence the main single player game as much as I would have liked.

If you're sick of beating swords into ploughshares in plain-Jane Civ IV campaigns, Warlords is the cure. [Oct. 2006, p.72]

In short, there's a lot of game here but none of it immediately demands you buy it, unless you just need a few new things to insert into Civ 4 to justify returning to it. In which case, hey - go do it. Civ 4's awesome.

When I heard that an expansion pack is coming out, I was afraid it might be a rip-off... Boy, was I wrong. Very nice.

It's still the great civilization game, altough the warlords version doesn't add very much to the actual gameplay.
