Civilization IV at $9.99 at Gamersgate

no clue if that's the current going rate for the game, but I thought it was real cheap for such a great game

Gamersgate - Civilization IV - Buy and download games for PC now

That is a good price for it, but keep in mind that this is just the base Civ IV game, and does not appear to be the complete Civ IV set that has both of the expansion packs as well.

So at this price this is a great deal for someone who has never played Civ IV to give it a try.. but if you end up liking it, the expansion packs makes the game even that much better. (The complete set of all three together usually sells for $40-$60 still I think)

Steam has Civ IV, both the expansion packs, and Civilization IV: Colonization in a package for $35.99 through the end of the day.

Both gamersgate and steam will let you purchase it now and download it later if you are wanting to get in on the deal before it expires I believe.

And after looking again on Steam, the bundle is regularly $39.99, so it's only a $4 difference if you don't buy now.

Couldn't agree more. But Civ IV: Col was really disappointing. I gave up on it quickly.
