What is Civilization?
Sid Meier's Civilization is a turn-based 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) strategy series launched in 1991. Players guide a civilisation from 4000 BCE to the Space Age, researching technologies, building cities and wonders, waging wars and negotiating treaties. Multiple victory conditions (domination, science, culture, diplomacy, religion) and Sid Meier's genius one-more-turn game loop have kept it a top-tier PC strategy franchise for over 30 years.
