Like you can be so tunnel vissioned hitting 'next turn' to finish building that wonder that is going to give you a big boost, you missed the ships massing near your borders before war is declared, or you make a bunch of unforced errors in your rush to get to the next turn. On their own, its combat, diplomacy, and civics/tech system aren't the best on their own, but they all work together.Īnd there's a lot of real life lessons you can learn playing Civ. What Civ has been able to do so well since the first one is integrating various systems into its gameplay but keeping those relatively simple.
Been playing since Civ2 around 1995ish when I got my first PC.Ī lot of strategy games miss the fact that complexity/realism doesn't always mean better.
