With the merger of Sierra into Activision-Blizzard, many games will be losing their online servers sometime in the near future. Caesar IV is currently on the list as one of those servers to be shut down.
So if you play Caesar IV online there will come a day when that part of the game will no longer connect to a server. (Unless Tilted Mill, somehow, steps in to the breach.)
This will also effect Emperor Rise of the Middle Kingdom, although it wasn't mentioned directly at Sierra.
Sierra is now a studio of the new company Activision-Blizzard.
The current Sierra Community Forums will also be shutting down.
There is no officially announced date as to when the loss of servers will occur as yet.
