Firaxis confirmed in December 2003 that they are in the early stage of Civilization IV development. Very little is known about the game at this time, but here are some general improvements Firaxis's Soren Johnson mentioned at the Game Developer's Conference in late March:
- Improved interface and help screens
- Replacing the "unfun" game concepts such as pollution, rioting and corruption with more entertaining concepts that maintain game balance.
- Adding concepts of religion and civics
- Introducing more sophisticated concepts of unit experience and upgrades.
