Doubt you will be able to. Intel says it's 950 graphics card meets the minimum specs as required by civ iv website, but just barely. the recommended is double the videoram provided by the intel 950. Another issue is the shared vram, it just does not function as well as dedicated video memory. this is why you will see all the recommendations here and elsewhere, if you want 3d gaming in a laptop, really need to step up to the macbook pro.

If the video cards provided in laptops (and not just Apple, but Dell and others: edit: Dell does this in their desktops also) were not stripped down from the retail versions, and system properties provided some access to more of the higher functions of the cards, like adjusting hardware acceleration and other items, you might could get it to work. But, alas, this just is not the case. Not even on my MBP.
