Is it still worth playing?
Firaxis' 2010 turn based strategy game for Windows, a sequel to Civilization IV, on a procedurally generated map of hexagonal tiles. Each tile holds one military unit, so armies spread out, and cities defend with ranged attacks. Social policies are bought with culture, in ten trees of five, and city states offer trade, diplomacy and conquest. A game can end in a space race, a diplomatic, cultural or domination victory, or by highest score at 2050 AD. Two expansions, Gods and Kings and Brave New World, added religion, espionage, trade routes and tourism, and Steam Workshop supports a large mod scene. One unit per tile keeps war a matter of terrain and positioning, which is reason enough to play it today.
