I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not intimately familliar with the series. Though, after hearing some stories pulled from the outlandish ridiculousness that the series allows you to dip into, as far as how you can obtain victory, playing any of these games has been on my "why don't I have more fucking time" list for quite a while."

Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

When I was a kid, I played a lot of Civilization 2. I played a lot of strategy games in general, but having a deep love of both history and sci-fi, the epic sweep of Civ 2 from prehistory to the stars held a particular appeal. I loved taking my little people from their huts and ziggurats to the world of science and advanced space-flight.
