Summary
High in the Andes, a biting wind howls through the Inca’s ruined strongholds. Half a world away, the Pharaohs’ tombs lie empty. In italy, the Roman Colsseum decays. Everywhere, you see remnants of societies that thought they would endure forever. All are dust. But your could be different. You could be the one person in history who builds an empire that never falls.
That’s the challenge of Civilization, the most enthralling god game yet developed. From the creator of Railroad Tycoon, Civilization lets you match wits with history’s greatest leaders.
You start at the dawn of recorded history, 4,000 BC, and the founding of the first cities. In the beginning you’ll labour simply to survive while building your settlements, discovering new technologies and fending of barbarians.
As your empire prospers, you’ll face competing civilisations guided by history’s most prominent figures, including Alexander the Great, Napoleon and Genghis Kahn. Now you’ll test your capacity for expansion and domination and your ability to outwit and outmanoeuvre those cunning and brilliant leaders.
