Civilization is one of the best games ever. Point.

The 33% rule explains why - 1% of the time it bugs out.

The first computer game I fell in love with. I spent hours and hours with my childhood best friend playing this. A true classic

I would say this: Civ V leaders had agendas (called personalities) but these were hidden from the player - it is therefore a common misconception that Civ VI introduced agendas; it merely made them visible to the player

Civ IV was built on the Gamebryo engine, a licensed engine and not a a proprietary one. It was most famously used by Bethesda in their Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. However, given the modular nature of the engine, much of it was heavily modified for use in Civ IV.

Great video. One game not mentioned here I loved at the time was Civ: Call to Power made by Activision in the middle of that time when there were disputes around the rights to the game. What I loved is it went to the year 3000 if I remember right. Into some far future tech and let you build cities underwater and things in space. Something I've been disappointed the main series has never tried to expand to.

CIV5 was my introduction to the 4X genre and i'm glad I got into it.
CiV games are now too casual for me and I can't get over the "stupid IA with massive bonus" difficulty meter anymore.
But i'm still pleased it's here and popular and getting new people into the genre.

I remember playing the Nintendo DS version. Each game would take 3-5 hours xD Had a lot of fun with it!

I've been subscribed for the last 2 years, I knew I shouldnt unsub and just wait, hope there are other loyal fans out there like me who awaited your return!

Excellent video explaining the series. I stopped playing at Civ III and sure missed out a lot.
I gotta say that Age of Empires is a good runner up.

We got a secondhand pc from my uncle and all his 5 1/4" floppies. Played civ forever till we finally got a new pc when civ 3 came out. STILL play at least a campaign a year

[Mouzekiller]

you did such a great job on this video-respect! overall this video did a better research on the history of a game, then any IGN"pro" coverage of any game. realy like the effort you had put in this video.

[starcraftown]

Much better than your previous video, audio quality is a lot better and you're speaking more clearly.
Good job.

10:58 I am so glad you featured RI in this.

[Exigentable]

This game stole my heart, I have fond memories of the first game of Civ where I fell down the rabbit hole of one more turn.

[TraumaNaked]

I love Civ 6 and regularly play and beat it. It's always enjoyable and every civilization feels a little different

[sardar]

Nice video, mate! Keep 'em coming.

[incaseofemergency]

Very good overview. I can't believe this video has not received more views.

A lot of people see Beyond Earth as a black sheep and honestly I have to admit that it’s my favorite game of the series over Civ V. I just love the idea of controlling the future instead of rewriting existing history.
