Civ II: Fantastic Worlds	MicroProse	1997		Windows
Civ II: Fantastic Worlds	MicroProse	1997		Win3.1
Civilization	Asmik;Microprose	1994	The 5 difficulty settings consist of 5 mixed and matched options of money to start with ($300 to $0), scientific advancements to start with (), settler units to start with (1 or 2), quality and frequency of tutorial advice, barbarian strength (barbarians are rogue forces that can basically only be killed or bribed), rate of scientific advancement, happiness of citizens, riot threshold, duration of revolutions, maintenance and initial cost of buildings, deadliness and frequency of disasters and plagues, number of wonders enemies get to start and/or receive at random and how fast they can develop them (might seem like cheating AI since they are 'gifted' wonders and/or can build them faster than the player, but there are lesser-known means for the player to perform these same feats), how quickly technology becomes obsolete (on Emperor, the hardest level, a phalanx might defeat barbarian leader unit at the beginning of the game but can't defeat the same barbarian unit the moment knights have been invented even if you haven't started training a Knight unit yet). At Emperor level, a player must know and perform successfully and consistently, a wide variety of tactics that will not be mentioned by tutorial or in-game help. There are two confirmed ways to change difficulty aspects and one additional possibility. The common difficulty aspects are choosing 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 opponents. They all have to deal with each other and the player. With 7 opponents, civilizations can/will gain rapid advancement as all are parties are working on science simultaneously whilst trading, stealing and conquering each other. The player is pretty much required to enter the fray immediately and stay continually engaged just to keep up or they may find themselves sitting on the bottom of the tech tree for the later battles. Civilizations are wiped out at a steady rate until 2 or 3 super powers are left. On the other end of things, starting with 3 civilizations can leave all parties alone to advance undisturbed for much of the game. Later meetings might be between advanced super powers or a huge tech discrepancy between them (you might discover it is hopeless only very late in the game). Difficulty level cannot really be assigned based on the number of civilizations as there are advantages and disadvantaged to having more or fewer. But in general, having more civilizations is more forgiving to a new player (or at least then know sooner if they cannot win the game, or they die faster); while starting with fewer civilizations allows a knowledgeable player to follow a long term plan without early interference. The other way to change difficulty aspects is to start a game in "Customize world" mode. The player can adjust the amount of dry land, temperature (warmer creates more zones of developable land), climate (wetter creates higher quality developable land in each zone), Age (older creates more hills and mountains that can be mined but not farmed) The last possibility to alter difficulty aspects is by exploiting differences that the AI may or may not impose of the different nationalities available to choose from. Many players insist that the various nationalities have unique behaviors. The game programmers say they did not create differences. However, Civilization as a computer game has an unusually high number of variables. This is an almost unheard of level of variables for console game (SNES); there might be some [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence]emergent behavior[/url] occurring that means behaviors unique to each nationality are [i]more likely[/i] to occur. What is even more likely ([i]I[/i] think), is that players start to see things that look like unique behaviors and alter their own strategies because of it (nationalities [i]do[/i] act uniquely because players [i]treat[/i] them uniquely). Players share their 'Russians demand more tribute' theory with another player who then decides to avoid situations where Russians will demand tribute form them and the AI increases tribute variables for the avoided nationality. One especially important aspect to unique AI behavior is the fact that not only does the AI adjust tactics based on player actions, but also the fact that the machine code of the game is designed so that [b]randomness is seeded by player behavior[/b]. This can be confirmed by playing a saved state using an emulator. A battle almost certainly (but not guaranteed) fated to be lost by a mismatch of units (ie: rookie phalanx vs veteran musketeers) can be won simply be doing different things before the battle. Repeat the same action 1000 time and never win the battle. But find a combinations of actions that wins once (ie: when on the phalanx unit, switch to a certain frigate, move one space forward, switch back to the phalanx and fight) then try the 'once won' strategy 1000 times. The 'once won' strategy results in many wins. Well, bottom line is this: Decided which nationality is the worst enemy to have (or worst tactic to face, and a certain nationality uses it frequently) and play as that nationality so you don't have to deal with that particular AI behavior. *It doesn't matter if it is tactics, seeding, emergent behavior, or some interplay of them, playing as the 'worst enemy nation' will make the game easier. Here's an interesting insight into the mind of Sid Meier. The SETI Program ([b]S[/b]earch for [b]E[/b]xtra [b]T[/b]errestrial [b]I[/b]ntelligence) never results in finding aliens in the game but continually advances science by %50 under a Democratic regime. While a real Democratic regime is the only government system where people could vote not to "waste money on a failed project". But before delving too deep into that well, remember that Sid Meier's SETI Program continually advances science forever, is never made obsolete, and has a maintenance cost of $0.	SNES

Civilization IV	2K Games (Firaxis Games)	2005	Civilization IV comes to life like never before in a beautifully detailed, living 3D world that elevates the gameplay experience to a whole new level. Heralded as one of the top ten games of 2005, Civilization IV is a must-have for gamers around the globe. [b]FEATURES[/b] -Faster-Paced Fun – Gameplay has been streamlined for a tighter, faster, and more compelling experience. -Greater Accessibility and Ease of Play – An easy-to-use interface will be immediately familiar to RTS and action game players, and newcomers to the series will be able to jump in and play. -Tech Tree – Flexible Tech tree allows players more strategic choices for developing their civilizations along unique paths. -More Civs, Units, and Improvements to enhance and grow your empire. -Multiplayer – LAN, Internet, PBEM, and Persistent Turn-Based Server (PTBS) offer players all-new strategies and ways to play when competing or cooperating with live opponents. -Team Play - Whether playing multiplayer or single player, team play offers a new way of setting locked alliances that result in shared wonder effects, visibility, unit trading, and shared territory that delivers a plethora of new strategic and tactical options. -Civ IV comes to life! - Beautiful 3D world with dozens of fully animated units (including culturally unique units), and totally customizable armies. Cities and wonders will appear on the map. Wonder movies are back! -Mods and Community Tools - Designed from the ground up for modability, the game contains a powerful map editor with XML and Python support. -Choose Your Leader – Most Civs now have 2 leaders from which to choose, with each Leader having traits that provide various bonuses to the player. -Civics – With the discovery of new techs, civic options can become available. Freedom of speech or slavery? Hereditary rule or open elections? This creates endless government choices and possibilities! -Religion – Now there are 7 religions in the game that are unlocked through researching. When unlocked, the religion spreads through a player’s empire allowing them to use the religion to help manage happiness, gain gold and create Great Prophets. -Great People - As the player uses specialists they gain Great People points in the city that is utilizing the specialists. Great People include the Artist, Tycoon, Prophet, Engineer, & Scientist. They can be used to get free techs, start Golden Ages, or join a city to increase its output. -Promotions – Each unit has a promotion path that emphasizes specific unit traits. Promotions include bonuses to Attack/Defend on specific terrains/features, movement bonuses, sight/visibility bonuses, and increased withdrawal chances. -In-Game Movies – Civ IV will have over 70 in-game movies.* [100]* [12]*If the idea of good game is to have inconsistent controls for the same action in different situations (right click works to remove all other items from build queue except the last, which you can only remove by the minus key in keyboard, not the numpad minus mind you... delete would've made more sense and it's actually more commonly used in [i]other[/i] games) and forcing the player to choose an action from "help" dialog instead of ignoring it (I suggest you disable the advisor pop-ups which are on by default, since you [i]must[/i] take the advice), then Civ4 is truly master of it. I can't imagine what drove them to so brilliantly disregard simple user friendliness. Mostly it works well, though, at least if you can ignore the problems it has. For me, these are aggravating shortcomings in the simplest things a game of this kind can have are too much. Unfortunately they're present in the final patch and Warlords/BtS expansions as well, so maybe I'm alone in this grievance for surely it would've been fixed otherwise.*Has been released on both 2 CDs and 1 DVD at some point.

Civilization V - Gods and Kings	2K Games (Firaxis Games)	2012	EAN-13: [code]5 026555 059268[/code]**Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods and Kings is the first expansion pack for Civilization V - the critically acclaimed 2010 PC Game of the Year. This robust expansion covers the entire scope of time from founding your first Pantheon of the Gods and spreading religion across the world, to deploying your spies in enemy cities in order to steal information and technology. As you move through the ages, you’ll interact with new types of city-states, engage in new city-state quests and global competitions, and master exciting new systems for land and naval combat. Civilization V: Gods and Kings will also include nine new civilizations, nine new wonders, three original scenarios, and dozens of new units, buildings, and techs that will offer even more ways for players to expand their empire and dominate the world. [b]Key Features:[/b] [b]Expanded Epic Game:[/b] The core game experience has been greatly expanded with the addition of new technologies (like Combined Arms), 27 new units (like the new 1-hex ranged unit Machine Gunner), 13 new buildings (like the Bomb Shelter), and 9 new Wonders (see below). Additionally, there are even more new units and buildings included in the three new Scenarios for modders to use. * [b]New Civilizations:[/b] The expansion will deliver 9 new civilizations, such as Carthage, Netherlands, the Celts, and the Maya (it is 2012, after all), along with their unique traits, units and buildings. The expansion also includes 9 new leaders including William I, Prince of Orange, Boudicca and Pacal the Great. * [b]Religion:[/b] A righteous people will seek out Faith to found a Pantheon of the Gods. As your Faith becomes stronger, you can cultivate Great Prophets who build on these simple beliefs to create a religion that you can customize and enhance as desired. Are you tolerant of other religions or is this the one true faith? Are you focused on Gold, Arts or Military? Beliefs can even unlock custom buildings that only people of your religion can construct. Great prophets, missionaries and inquisitors help you spread your beliefs to other lands and gain the alliances of City States, and like-minded civilizations. * [b]Enhanced Diplomacy and Espionage:[/b] Establish embassies at foreign courts for closer ties (or clandestine operations). As the religions of the world start settling in, and the world moves into the Renaissance, you unlock your first spy (with more to come). Send them out to establish surveillance of foreign cities, steal advanced technologies from your strongest or wisest competitors, or interfere with city-state alliances. All of your actions can have a diplomatic impact if discovered, so always tread carefully. * [b]City-States:[/b] Two new city-state types have been added (Mercantile and Religious) to bring all new advantages to the table. The city-state quest system has received a complete overhaul to decrease the importance of gold and add a whole range of new quests that further the narrative of the game, as well as make the diplomatic victory a more varied option. Ally with Marrakech to get access to their unique luxury resources! Vatican City and Jerusalem are holy cities that play key roles in the religious struggle. * [b]World Domination:[/b] The fight for world domination is now more dynamic than ever before. The Gods and Kings expansion features a reworked combat system and AI that puts more emphasis on a balanced army composition. The new system allows your lines to stand longer than they could before, so you, as a player, can make smarter tactical decisions without worrying about a single unlucky roll of the dice. * [b]Naval Combat:[/b] Your navy is now split into two different ship types, melee and ranged. This means that no coastal city should be considered safe, and can now fall to a surprise naval attack. Additionally, all embarked units now have Defensive Embarkation, and can stack with a naval unit for extra protection. Add to this the new Great Admiral, and the high seas have become a much more dangerous place. * [b]New Wonders:[/b] There will be 9 new Wonders with all new effects including Neuschwanstein, the Great Mosque of Djenne, the Terracotta Army, the Great Firewall, and the Hubble Space Telescope. [b]Three new Scenarios:[/b] * [b]Medieval:[/b] Grow your medieval kingdom into one of the great nations of Renaissance Europe, fending off outside invasions from Mongols and Ottoman Turks and fighting the religious wars of the Crusades and Reformation! * [b]Fall of Rome:[/b] Play as either Eastern Rome or Western Rome trying to fend off the barbarians OR as one of the barbarians themselves. * [b]Empires of the Smoky Skies:[/b] Build flying airships and huge tractor-like tanks from the unique tech tree of this Victorian science-fiction scenario, and use them to spread your empire across the pre-industrial world.

Game-changing resolutions, vote trading, intrigue and a new lead-in to the Diplomatic Victory ensures that the end of the game will be more dynamic than ever before. [b]International Trade Routes[/b]: Build your cities into hubs of international trade by land and sea, creating great wealth and prosperity for your people, while also spreading religion, cultural influence, and science. The number of trade routes increases through the advancement of economics and technologies, the creation of wonders, and the unique abilities of your civilization. Will you connect to a closer city for a lower payoff and a safer route, choose a longer route with more risk for the bigger payoff, or perhaps point your trade route inward, sending vitally important food and production to the far corners of your own empire? [b]New Civilizations, Units and Buildings[/b]: Nine new leaders and civilizations are introduced, including Casimir of Poland, each with their unique traits, units and buildings. [b]New Wonders[/b]: This expansion set introduces eight new Wonders including the Parthenon, Broadway, the Globe Theater, and the Uffizi. Two New Scenarios: - American Civil War: Fight the "War Between the States" from either the Union or Confederate side as you focus on the critical Eastern theatre of operations between the capital cities of Richmond and Washington. - Scramble for Africa: The great colonial powers of the world are scrambling to explore the Dark Continent and extend their reach into its interior. Search for the great natural wonders of the heart of Africa as you explore a dynamically-generated continent each time you play.	Windows
Civilization V: Brave New World	2K Games (Aspyr Media)	2014		Linux
Civilization: Beyond Earth	2K Games (Firaxis Games)	2014	Un spin-off de la saga Civilization, similar a la últimas entregas (tablero hexagonal y ataques a distancia) pero con un especial énfasis en la exploración, algo que se nota en un entorno mucho más elaborado (misiones, reliquias, alienígenas...) y en la unidad del explorador. Sufre mucho de tener un ritmo de juego muy lento, incluso para un juego de estrategia global, con progresos y construcciones que tardan decenas de turnos. 7 de 10***Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is a new science-fiction-themed entry into the award-winning Civilization series. Set in the future, global events have destabilized the world leading to a collapse of modern society, a new world order and an uncertain future for humanity. As the human race struggles to recover, the re-developed nations focus their resources on deep space travel to chart a new beginning for mankind. As part of an expedition sent to find a home beyond Earth, you will write the next chapter for humanity as you lead your people into a new frontier and create a new civilization in space. Explore and colonize an alien planet, research new technologies, amass mighty armies, build incredible Wonders and shape the face of your new world. As you embark on your journey you must make critical decisions. From your choice of sponsor and the make-up of your colony, to the ultimate path you choose for your civilization, every decision opens up new possibilities. [Steam Store]	Windows
