Yeah, I've been hearing about the Civ 4 Warlords expansion for a couple of days now.  I'm not planning on buying it right away either.  After seeing how they handled the Civ III expansions, I think waiting is the prudent thing to do.

Has anyone tried the "Mods" that came with the game?  I'm 45 turns from finishing the Greek World mod, and holy crap, it's hard on settler.

The only one I've tried so far is the North African Scenario, as the Germans.  Its a walk in the park on Noble.

The Greek World One, staring about 200 AD, a stack of 8-10 units of barbarians will just appear next to one of your towns.. sometimes in 3-4 places at once.

I've been playing the 'Ice Age' scenario.  A lot.  It, however, is really just a slightly different Earth map.

I fiddled around with the American Revolution one some though.  It was rather cool.

I've done the Ice Age Scenario a couple of times.  It struck me as odd that I could walk from Austrailia to France, but other than that its pretty good.

Well with so much water frozen sea levels were supposedly a lot lower.

Be neat if stuff started melting in that one...suck if that happened and you had a nice, big city right where the Straights of Gibraltar were going to be.
