Sid Meier's Civilization V

rick9109's Sid Meier's Civilization V (PC) review

From the Civ Rev World

I have never played a full Civ game before Civ Rev.  So the incredibly complex world that appeals to many Civ fans was not what drew me to give Civ 5 a go.  It was the enjoyment of the "one more turn" aspect with the desire for something a little complex.  Civ 5 has given me all that, and I've barely scratched its surface.  There is still so much to learn, so much to understand, but I'm not daunted, I'm able to still keep my head above water just with everything I learned from Civ Rev, but I know that I can still learn a lot more to really start to dominate rather than just survive.  That knowledge excites me.
 
This game is eating my life and is haunting my dreams.  This should bother me I suppose but it's very exciting and I can't remember another reason to exist other than to play  Civ 5.

It started with me skipping lunch to play Civ 1 in the computer lab in high school, and it led to spreadsheets calculating tile yields and worker moves to maximize the first 100 turns of Civ 3 games and countless big fat crosses scrawled on the back of slips of paper to figure out how many farms I needed to build to work all of a cities tiles plus specialists in Civilization 4.  So you could say that I'm an experience civilization player. If you're a fan too, then you are probably already playin...
