Verox Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 The Civ games are about human history: you’re guiding a race of people from the Stone Age through to modern times and beyond. This is ‘4X’ strategy (expand, explore, exploit and exterminate) at its finest - you will start off with nothing, and grow into a global power. Or die trying. The decisions you face are many: political, economical, military, even social. You can be a friendly neighbour or conqueror. A hub of trade and tourism, or an industrial powerhouse. Freedom of choice is the game’s best asset - where do you go? What do you do? Which path will be your path to victory? There are over 20 playable factions now, and each lends itself to a particular playstyle, but you’ve still got a lot of flexibility. Civilzation V is as streamlined as the series will ever get and the perfect place to jump in. It’s got a strong set of tutorials, tooltips that guide you through every decision. Combat is as good as it’s ever been thanks to a rethink of Civ’s grid system, and Steam Workshop support means there’s a never-ending flow of mods and maps to tinker with. This is the series that invented the term “one more turn” — it is addictive, compelling, and absorbing. Essential playing. Trailer :
