Civ IV is fun, addictive, and even educational

Ever since the now-defunct MicroProse Software company released the original version of Sid Meier's Civilization in 1991, I've been hooked on what is perhaps the most popular "god game" franchise in the history of entertainment software. With the exception of CivNet (the first Internet/multi-player variation), Civilization: Call to Action, and 2K Games' Civilization III, I've either owned or played most of the published upgrades to Meier's simulation of world history that challenges players to build an "empire that will stand the test of time."

Basic Concept of the Game: Sid Meier's Civilization...

Ever since Sid Meir created the first Civilization game I have been hooked on this game. Although the first in the series was small and took very little computer power to play, as it evolved it has taken more computer memory to play. You start by picking the civilization you wish to develop and begin creating your empire.

The Game

You start with a settler and a warrior, the settler creates your first city while the warrior guards the city from the roaming barbarians. You then choose your first upgrade you want to build. Be it technology, religion, military or buildings. Each different choice you... review »

Civilization IV represents a HUGE leap forward in the series. With Civilization III, there were some new features, but anyone who had played previous Civ games could pretty much just jump right in and feel comfortable. That's still true with Civilization IV, but there are so many new features that the game is very different from its predecessors.

Civilization IV adds tons of new features and content such as the social engineering found in Alpha Centauri and completely new concepts such as state religion. The game also takes the complex diplomacy that Civ III borrowed from Alpha Centauri...

The latest in the Civilization series. Sid Meier just keeps the franchise going with Civ IV. Longtime fans will catch on quickly to the new additions. The different victory conditions should allow for any type of would be conqueror to satisfy the itch to rule the world. New wonders, new civilizations, new leaders, great people all keep the ball rolling in this classic franchise. The expansion packs, Rule the World and Warlords, only increase the replayability of this incredible game. Be aware of the "just one more turn" disease.

Sid Meiers truly outdoes himself/itself/herself/themselves? From Civilization 1 ive been captivated by these games. Its like a big game of risk, but with complete control over several cities, countries, and battalions of troops. The only issue i have with this game is that its extremely addictive and eats time.

A great strategy game that will have you going back to play more and more. There are a variety of ways to play and the expansion packs add more depth and adventure and skill to the game. A must try for strategy/simulation gamers.
