Firaxis GamesCiviliation IV Patches (2005)

The majority (but probably lacking a few odd patches for Direct To Drive versions, Mac Beta patches - please contact us if you can supply them) of patches for Firaxis' Civilization IV games series.

The patches are numbered for convinence by Firaxis so that 1.XX is for Civilization, 2.XX is Warlords, and 3.XX is Beyond the Sword. The Mac version only goes up to Warlords.

For convinence, and because the patches are automated in telling if they are required or not and should install over any previous patch, the last patch for each expansion is:

Civilization 4 1.74
Warlords 2.13
Beyond the Sword 3.17

Some versions of the game released (such as Civilization IV Complete) have the patches included in them. To check the patch number you have go to the main menu and select "About".

The low resolution movies files are also included, which can help performance when playing movies on older hardware.

In addition to official and beta patches, a file is required from the Beyond the Sword version of the game for vanillia (ie: those with only Civilization 4 installed) or Warlords to play with those using Beyond the Sword, due to a patching error by Firaxis. Information on this fix was sourced from here: http://www.apolyton.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=171033

The files have been renamed from some of the original download names, to better note what version they patch. All patch notes that were found around the web (although incomplete, please contact us if you can provide further in depth information).
