I keep losing on moderate level difficulty vs. the computer- despite making improvements in city upkeep/development and research rate. I think I may have some insight into this, which I will implement in my next match. Great game is you are interested in history, technology, science, theology, art, etc. Enjoyable musical compositions and complementary sounds keep things in a relaxed, focused, studious mood.

We have been trying to figure out why the game will not play on Windows 10. Settings for Legacy play are set correctly because we can play other Microsoft legacy games. Not giving up hope. The description should have prepared the purchaser a little better.

For people who are looking for less stressful games than Games like American Conquest Age of Empires nad the like this game is a great game. Compared to Civilization III it is definitely upgraded with some positive and negative features. Sometimes the cool graphics get in the way of playing the game, such as moving large numbers of soldiers or trying to change the cities productions. However, it does have a variety of new earlier units that prove vital in fights and wars. Love the ability to access the spending costs on the front page and love the fact that the score is on the front page. I definitely enjoy the online player option of the game. All around it is a fun fairly easy game to learn and is great.
Always loved this game! Last version that will work without 'Steam'. Minor tweak to make work with Win7 but definitely playable.

This is a Sid Meier's product. I have yet to play an inferior game of any kind made buy this guy...and I've played almost all of his. The game itself is easily a 9.5/10 while the expansions are a 9.0/10; and hey, what expansion ever lives up to the original? The graphics are great, the game controls are easy but I will warn you, if you have not played the Civilization series before, there is a learning curve. The game has seven different difficulty settings from easy to darn near impossible. (I've been playing Civilization for a long time and can't touch the seventh difficulty setting. You can play on-line against real opponents or just against the computer which is hard enough in my opinion. You control one of many civilizations (which you can choose)through production, labor resources, war, peace, diplomacy, trade, religion, and social programming. You can determine the level of control you want from not much to every subtle nuance of the game. If you like turn-based situations with a reasonable real-time feel, or you just want to learn the complexities of government, this is the only game you'll ever want to play. If you like turn based strategy games with a reasonable real time feel, this is the only game to consider.Read full review
