Civilization V just came out on September 21st, 2010. The Civilization series is pretty much the poster-child for turn-based strategy games. The Civilization series is probably best known for its ability to eat hours of your day, without you even realizing how many hours have gone by.
In the Civilization series, you build an empire and progress through all of the eras of human civilization. You do not have to conquer the rest of the world to win though. Victory by diplomacy can also count as a win.
The main problem that I had with Civilization III back in the day, was the speed and difficulty of learning the game. Thanks to a free demo on steam (a free digital game distribution platform for the PC: www.steampowered.com ) that allows you to play for 100 turns, I am thinking of buying this game and giving the series another shot. I had a lot of fun playing the demo, and believe that I have a lot more patience and understanding for strategy games than I did way back in the days of Civilization III.

ReplyDeleteI believe I played at least one of the Civilization games in the past, or a game like it. It could be interesting to start playing it again, or play with the demo, like you did.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the new one, Civilization V, about, is it set in a certain era?
