Turn-based strategy where you guide a civilization across millennia, from stone tools to advanced tech. Each match plays out on a hex grid—you'll found cities, assign citizens to tiles for food and production, research technologies in a sprawling tree, and negotiate with rival leaders. Victory comes through multiple paths: military conquest, scientific achievement, cultural dominance, diplomatic vote, or timed score. Combat uses individual units on the map rather than abstract armies. You can face AI opponents or other players online. City-states—independent mini-nations—add another diplomatic layer, offering bonuses if you befriend them or consequences if you ignore their requests. Matches unfold over hundreds of turns, so expect sessions that stretch across evenings.
