Games On Net writes: "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. It is a new era, the surrounding lands spread in new and unimagined directions – it is time to build a great civilisation to stand the test of time! Sid Meier's epic world-conquering franchise has been the undisputed master of turn-based strategy PC gaming since the original title in 1990, spawning dozens of expansions, sequels and homages. I must confess, I've wasted many hundreds of hours conquering virtual empires over the decades. I'm happy to report that the latest iteration, Civilization V, has proven just as compelling and addictive."
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

Philip Boyes:
When I was a kid, I played a lot of Civilization 2. I played a lot of strategy games in general, but having a deep love of both history and sci-fi, the epic sweep of Civ 2 from prehistory to the stars held a particular appeal. I loved taking my little people from their huts and ziggurats to the world of science and advanced space-flight.
