For those of you that don’t already own Civilization IV, a game that allows players to take over the world on a turn-by-turn building and attacking basis, and those of you that just must own these Collector’s Editions, Civilization: Gold Edition is coming out! So start mowing lawns or working overtime.

This version will include Civilization IV as well as the Warlords expansion pack. As well, like most collectors editions you will also get some little extras. The extras include:

• Fantasy style poster from Greg Hildebrandt, world famous artist
• As expected, a behind-the-scenes DVD with developer interviews and a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the game as well as a history of Sid Meier’s video game history
• A tech-tree poster
• Game Manual

Finally, your release date. You’ll be seeing this on shelves July 17th. Though if it would make you feel a bit better you can pre-order a copy on Amazon.
