Simple way: Just make a full Image with Alcohol 120 (ca. 1,3 GB). Mount the Image with Daemon Tools 3.47. To play Civ IV just start SafeDisk 4 Hider (you get it at g a m e b u r n w o r l d . c o m) . Now you can start the game and play it without DVD.
This solution works fine. By the way - it´s better than a no CD: there are some bugs, so I am waiting for a update. This solution will work with future updates, I hope . . .

Greetings, 007

I've tried this, but I keep getting an error with Alcohol 120, here is the log.

Also when I tried it with nero, it said the CD was copyrighted. Do I need to run safedisk 4 b4 I do this or is it just for when I mount the image with daemon tools to play the game?

btw, what is (ca. 1,3 GB)? Is that the DVD file size? I have the 2 disk CD copy and I'm trying to copy disk 1 to my HD.

Is it original? Where do you bought it?

I got it at Fry's. It was only 38 bucks(not including tax) for the collectors edition. I think the only extra we got it the box was the game soundtrack, but the collectors edition at fry's was the same price as the regular one.
