Warlords.

Beyond the Sword was good, but it seemed to add stuff that I didn't really like. Like the random event crap. I always disable that, it's more of a nuisance than a fun feature. "Your town got hit by a flood! Production decreased by 5 billion!" No Leonard Nimoy voice acting the new wonders? WTF? lol

Also, enemy AI is a bit... odd. Like barbarians just sitting on the outskirts, not destroying land improvements. Maybe they fixed that with a patch I don't really know, it's been a while since I've played. But Barbarians were a lot more brutal in Warlords than in Beyond the Sword.

Beyond the Sword has many of the features Warlords has.

But, comparatively, I wasn't as impressed. Going from vanilla Civ 4 to Warlords was a bigger leap than going from Warlords to Beyond the Sword, imo. And since Beyond the Sword added some fluff I didn't like, I thought Warlords was better overall.

It seemed to me that while Beyond The Sword had more features, I didn't use them very much but i love the features in Warlords.
