Because I'm not a dedicated gamer - I no longer have the free time to play for long hours in a single gaming session - my list of PC games has shrunk considerably from some 20 to maybe two or three. My computer runs on the Vista OS and it rejects most of my older Windows games which XP accepted without a major hassle.

Right now the only major game that I've installed is Sid Meier's Civilization IV and its second expansion, Beyond the Sword. Like all the Civs that I've owned in the past, they are not hard to learn but hard to master, particularly at the harder difficulty levels.

Thing is, Civ IV is now three years old and Beyond the Sword is almost two years old, and though I may get Warlords (the first expansion) if I get bored with them, I really want to know if any more expansions or even a Civ V are expected.
