It all depends on which way you are heading - through combat, trade or a mixture between these two things. The overall goal in the game is to destroy all the other civilizations or discover a new planet before the other civilizations. After that you will have to chose what civilization you want to control and then the game really takes off. You can choose from the real Earth, a random map or your own customized one. You start the game by choosing what kind of world you want to play the game in. Sid Meier is a genius and Civ is all-time game no.1!!!Ĭivilization 1 is the strategy game I have played most whether it is for Amiga or PC. Many different military units (from militia, legions and catapults to musketeers, ironclads, artillery and even nuclear bombs!), city improvements (such as temples, marketplaces, factories.) and wonders of the world (Lighthouse of Alexandria, Great library, Hanging gardens, UN building.) make Civ world huge and always new. Discover new advances and move from stone to nuclear age. Spread Your civilization, encounter others, make contacts, sign peace agreements, go to war, destroy others and try not to be destroyed. From this point You can build new units (military or settlers, and later even diplomatic), city improvements or wonders of the world.

Ok, here's about the game: You start with a group of settlers that should be used to make Your first city. This is definitely the best game ever made (actually, the only one that is better then Civ is Civ II). I could write about this one all day long but I'll try to be short. In 1994, Meier produced a similar game titled Colonization.AGA version of Civilization with a lot better graphics. There have been several sequels to Civilization, including Civilization II (1996), Civilization III (2001), Civilization IV (2005), Civilization Revolution (2008), Civilization V (2010), and Civilization VI in 2016.

This high level of interest has led to the creation of a number of free and open source versions and inspired similar games by other commercial developers. A multiplayer remake, Sid Meier's CivNet was released for the PC in 1995.Ĭivilization has been called one of the most important strategy games of all time, and has a loyal following of fans. It has undergone numerous revisions for various platforms (including Windows, Macintosh, Amiga, Atari ST, Super NES, Sega Saturn, PlayStation and N-Gage) and now exists in several versions. The game's objective is to "Build an empire to stand the test of time": it begins in 4000 BC and the players attempt to expand and develop their empires through the ages from the ancient era until modern and near-future times.Ĭivilization was originally developed for MS-DOS running on a PC. Sid Meier's Civilization is a turn-based strategy 4X video game created by Sid Meier and Bruce Shelley for MicroProse in 1991.
