Turn-based strategy where you guide a civilization from 4000 BC through modern times and beyond. You'll found cities, research technologies, build military units, and manage resources while competing against other civilizations for dominance. The core loop involves expanding your territory, choosing which advances to pursue on a sprawling tech tree, and deciding whether to focus on military conquest, cultural influence, or scientific progress. Diplomacy lets you negotiate with rivals, form alliances, or declare war. Victory comes through various paths—military domination, space colonization, or surviving until a set end date with the highest score. Sessions can stretch across dozens of hours as you balance short-term tactical decisions with long-term strategic planning.
