The fourth installment in the Civilization series. The aim of the game is to lead a civilisation from 4,000 BC, in an attempt to grow it to world domination. Among the new features compared to previous instalments is the introduction of the concept of great characters from history (artists, merchants, prophets, engineers and scientists), who offer extra benefits. It also incorporates for the first time in the series the possibility of founding and expanding religions and adopting an official religion. It also replaces the choice of forms of government with the adoption of political principles. The UN takes centre stage and artificial intelligence is far superior to previous versions.

The fifth installment of the Civilization series. The game builds on the basis of the other titles in the series (creation and development of a civilisation). The most notable change is in the map, which is fragmented into hexagons, to make the game more natural. There are also changes in the joining and movement of military units, the increase in the production cost of military units, the promotion of the strategic and diplomatic part of the game and the increase in the cost of armed conflicts. In addition, the artificial intelligence is much more “human” than in previous titles.

It offers the possibility to play with more than 30 civilisations and, apart from the campaign mode, includes 6 historical scenarios.
