The Civilization games perfectly embody the sentiment “Easy to learn, but hard to master”. A player striving to win via diplomacy and political maneuvering will have a very different story to tell compared to his compatriot who might prefer to raise massive armies and obliterate everything in his path. While every Civilization in the game has its own backstory, traditions, predilections and quirky leaders inspired from real history, the actual storyline of every single individual match of Civilization differs from player to player, and playthrough to playthrough. As the leader of your kingdom, you must build cities and infrastructure, cultivate food to feed your people, research new technologies, build and maintain armies, spread your religion and much more through the centuries while constantly dealing with other foreign civilizations who may, or may not be hostile to your cause.Īt its core though, the story in any Civilization game is what you make of it. Every empire has its own unique backstory, strengths, weaknesses, structure and leaders. As the player, you are put in complete charge of an ancient civilization of your choosing sometime right after the dawn of the agricultural age. The Civilization games are a series of turn based 4X games, and currently one of the oldest ongoing video game franchises in existence.
