Civilization 5, or Civ V if you insist on going with the Roman numerals for some silly reason, retains that slow building empathy and gentle trickle of rewards. That’s why, even though 2K and Firaxis have changed some of the fundamentals this time around, Bit-Tech is not worried about how Civ 5 will eventually turn out. Firaxis could shift the setting to space and, as long as it retained that focus, they’d still adore it.
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.
