Is that a downside? I guess if you're looking for those epic matches it might be but the games I played were a lot of fun and I really didn't tweak any of the game settings at all. The two games I played clocked in at around at around three hours each which does seem a bit shorter than some of the marathon sessions my friends have told me about. I've seen some other previews comment that the maps are smaller than the PC version. The console version seems to be a reasonable adaption of the PC experience albeit on a smaller scale. I'm currently working on a third play through with a technological goal but I have a feeling I'm just going to be creating a giant army at the end and just wiping everyone out. I've played through the game twice and both were military victories which is in line with my typical pattern for these types of games. Technological victory is done by being the first to travel to Alpha Centari, Economic means being the first to 20,000 gold pieces, and cultural is collecting 20 wonders,people, or converted cities. ![]() ![]() Military dominance is the easiest and it just means clearing the map of the majority of the other civilizations. This can be done through military, technology, cultural, or economic means. The concept of the game is simple enough, you start choose a famous world leader (such as Napolean, Cleopatra, or Otto Van Bismark) and then establish yourself as the dominant civilization on the game map. I've played other similar games like Master of Orion and Galactic Civilization but I've never had the chance to really sink my teeth into the franchise until now. I know that as an old PC gamer that I've been missing out on something big having friends who have disappeared for weeks when a new version of the game came out. ![]() It's also sadly a game that I haven't played a lot of. Civilization is one of the great PC franchises of all time, a franchise that has consumed countless numbers of hours since it was first released in 1991.
