Thinking of buying Civ 4 + Beyond the Sword

So I recently bought Civ5, but I've later become a bit disillusioned by its many issues, and as I feared I can't run it on the laptop I've got here at school anyhows

. So I'm thinking of buying Civ4 Complete, which means Civ4, Warlords (or w/e it's called) and Beyond the Sword. Played it before but never got into it, looking forward to picking it up again. Reading some succession games on the Civfanatics forums, too, lots of exciting tales there

.

In my mind I picture a large-ish Archipelago map, or perhaps the world map that comes with the game, as the Vikings, with game speed set to slow. I'll look through Civfanatics for a downloadable longboat, too, you can't have Vikings without their trademark shallow-draft warships. Planning on beelining to the Great Lighthouse, then build a fleet of ships with which to rule the seas, raid poorly defended monasteries, and explore the world.

Anyone still play this?
