Try yesasia.com which is based in Hong Kong. The shipping costs will probably be lower than US websites.

Have you actually succeeded in making such orders in the past? I can never seem to get software shipped internationally -- even when I'm shipping to what's technically a US address (e.g., my current FPO address). I just assumed this was some anti-piracy restriction.

You sure? I have always thought that their godown is somewhere in California.

I bought Rome: Total War from YesAsia and shipping was free. The software came from Hong Kong and was the Australian version. Their service is very good but their selection is limited. They carried Civilization III so they'll probably carry Civ4.
HOI I'll have to get from Paradox.

I've ordered from the States before with no problem. Well, from ChipsnBits. Amazon doesn't ship outside the States.

Could be, but they don't charge for shipping in Hong Kong so I assume they have some type of godown here.

Exactly how does this create more marijuana smoke?

There may be a Korean Amazon. I know there is a Japanese one.

No Korean Amazon

Pay online and download. No fuss, no mess. I don't know why most other publishers aren't doing it that way.

Because they'd be boycotted by most of the distributors. The distributors don't like dealing in products when the manufacturer is in direct competition to them.
