...I found the very first Civilization all those years ago in 1991.

Recommended!

...of the games in the Civilization series before, here's a quick overview: In Civ, you choose one civilization to play from 4000BC onwards. Over time, you spread your empire through new cities, accruing new technologies as you go along. You choose how to play, and hopefully win your game.

First of all, probably the least important change but probably necessary to win over new players to the series - the 3D graphics engine retains some of the board-game charm of previous incarnations, whilst taking advantage of neat details like a dynamic representation of your cities, zooming out for a whole-world view, and cute unit animations. ...

Rise of new civilizations

Advantages: graphics, soundtrack, gameplay, multiplayer
Disadvantages: takes lots of time, needs some time to learn

Civilization 4 is a great sequel to some of the best turn-based strategy computer games in the history. The game already has got two expansions, Warlords and Beyond the Sword. This game is all about empire building, but its quite different from the games like Caesar, Zeus and Cleopatra. This one seems to give more importance to the combat version, but not as much as the Age of Wonders do. This means that Civilization is a different type of strategy ...
...the time is over, the civilization with the highest score so far will be declared the winner of the game. Everything starts with a settler building a city. The player will be asked about what to build next, or the player can select it from the city menu itself. The player can create more settlers to expand the empire, more workers to improve the productivity of the tiles in the surrounding areas, or build an army to defend the city as well as for ...

Civilisation IV

Advantages: Addictive, Vast, Complex to Master, Simple to Play.
Disadvantages: Addictive, Slows down in later stages.

Introduction Civilisation IV is, unsuprisingly, the fourth in the well known series by Sid Meir. The game sees you try to build a civilisation from 4000BC through to 2050AD and dominate your neighbours through a combination of military, cultural, diplomatic and technological means. Gameplay The game is turn based and each of your units have a movement rating that allows you to move a certain number of spaces (tiles) per turn. You begin with a ...
...blacked out until it is explored, this settler can be used to make your first city. Cities The first thing you will do is look to place this city in a good location. Each of the tiles on the map is a different type of land which gives varying benifits to your city. The different types are: Plains, Grassland, Desert, Tundra, Hill, Mountain, Forest, Jungle or Water. Creating your city is a balancing act between food (to allow your city to grow), ...

The game will cause a divorce, The best Civ

Advantages: Long sweeping gameplay, addiction, No 2 games the same
Disadvantages: This game will eat you time

The Latest and the best Civ title. Civ 4 continues the great series of games by Sid Meiers this instalment offers much more depth than the other's combat has improved greatly, religion now works in its own unique way and culture effects how quickly the boarders of your civilisation grow. Civ takes you from 4000 BC to 2050 AD game lengths vary as to if you select quick, normal, epic or marathon. The number of turns in a game increases with each level. ...

You are offered a wide range of different civilisations to play each has its own unique units and buildings, ontop of this each nation has its own leader some have more.

The game starts as aways with you in charge of a settler a unit used to form ...

One of the greatest game series ever

Advantages: Civilization at its best yet
Disadvantages: Very high system requirements on higher modes

...go play something else. The Civilization games are equalled in complexity only by some Manager-type games perhaps, though those do not come nearly as close to Civ4 in scope. If you're new to Civ (as the series is commonly abbreviated), the premise basically is that you are in control of a nation/race of people on the earth, such as the Romans/Aztecs/Americans/Russians. You guide your people from the stone age all the way through to the present day, ...
...If you've never heard of Civilization before then I really do recommend it - its a serious contender for the greatest game series ever. There's no question of Civ's greatness - the question is, how does Civ4 compare to the previous Civ games? Among a host of small changes far too numerous to list here, the two biggest changes a veteran Civver will notice are the brand new combat system, and the implementation of religion. In previous Civ games ...

Civ IV Complete: The Whole World in Your Hands

Advantages: Excellent gameplay; endless replayability; bargain price
Disadvantages: Difficult for beginners; not great in multiplayer

The Civilization franchise of computer games has come a long way since the original incarnation was released way back in 1991. That?s where my Civ-addiction started, and since then I?ve worked my way through Civilization II, Civilization: Call to Power, Sid Meier?s Alpha Centauri, Civilization III, and finally Civilization IV. The latter, in the ?complete? form, is the latest in the series, with the exceptions of Civilization IV: Colonization, an update of another Sid Meier classic that uses the Civ IV game engine, and Civilization: Revolution, which is an adaptation for various games consoles. The ?complete? version includes two add-on packs: Civilization IV: Warlords and Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword. The concept: Civ IV, as with the other Civilization games, is a turn-based strategy game. The idea originated with a board ...

Review of Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Complete (PC)

Civilization Revolution is good but can get boring quickly

Advantages: Turn-based game allows for more relaxation
Disadvantages: Does get boring after a while.

After playing Civilization IV on the PC I knew what this game was about. You control a civilization and try to be the best civilization. There are numerous ways to do this which I like as it gives you different paths to victory. I also like that you do not have to win through violence, and it makes you concentrate on other aspects of controlling a country which makes it much more realistic. There is a tutorial you can you use if you haven't used the game before which is useful but doesn't show everything the game is capable of. The game can be a bit overwhelming to begin with but once you understand it it should be enjoyable. The animated world leaders on the game do look fantastic but I feel that the game isn't pushing the Xbox's graphics capapbiliy. However I don't think this detracts from the game as the graphics do not need to be ...

Review of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (Xbox 360)

Excellent upgrade to a classic game

Advantages: Very familiar; improved game play; far more complex strategies required.
Disadvantages: Seems slower to play than the original

My first experience of computer strategy games and God games was on the Atari ST. I played a game called 'Empire' which was a very good early war game. I then played a game called 'populus' which was a resource planning game. I often wished someone would combine the two. Then much to my surprise Sid Meier released Civilization! After seeing Civilization on the Amiga, and finding out that my Atari ST could not play this game to the same extent, I purchased an Olivetti 386. The first game I purchased was Civilization. This resource-oriented war game was unique, combining war-gaming elements, strategy elements and economic elements all in one game. I played this game over and over for years and it became one of my favourites (I still have it on my PC now). As with most games that are successful, the authors (Sid Meier) decided to ...
