So, you want to know what the best Civilization game is? Sid Meier's classic line of 4X strategy games is quite long in the tooth now, and that's not even counting all of the spin-offs. With a series this old, and a fan base so engaged, pla…
There are many ways you can play strategy games, but playing a game of Civilization V, with twelve factions, and a single person playing all twelve in order to direct the course of history for that game, is certainly a new one. It's not one…
