Let me start by stating that my expectations were hight for Beyond the Sword. The promise of more modern units, improved espionage, corporations, random events, and exciting scenarios got my hopes up and, let me say, it delivered. The expansion pack also comes with the usual package of extra civilizations (including the Babylonians, Byzantines, Dutch, Ethiopian, Holy Roman, Khmer, and Myan Empires), improvements from Warlords (Generals, Traits), technologies, and gameplay improvements (improved air, sea, and siege combat). In conclusion, there is a lot to be said.

As previously stated there is the addition of new scenarios. Beyond the Sword comes shipped with eleven exciting and creative scenarios. Three really caught my eye. There is a space age game almost similar to that of Galactic Civilizations II, a game set in the far future (with future tech units you can play with in the normal game), and three player created mods that managed to find their way on the CD: Rhye's and Fall, Fall from Heaven, and a WWII: Road to War scenario. They are all great additions and could certainly have been packaged as an expansion pack on their own.

I accidentally stayed up for hours playing this new expansion, you probably will too. I urge any civ fan to go out and give this expansion a shot

  My experience is that expansion packs often disappoint.

  When I got Warlords, I thought it was a good expansion pack. I wouldn't throw away any of its additions to the core game, but at the same time, about an hour into a game and after the initial excitement you realise you a... Read Full Review
