DAvid writes, "I’m sorry but this torrid affair cannot continue. When we first kindled this relationship years ago, things were different. I was young, carefree, at least partially irresponsible and my work ethic varied depending on the day of the week. You were young too, but mature beyond your years. While your strategy games (notably Civ III and Alpha Centauri) romanced me to sleeplessness, it also continued to do battle, showing the world that there is still room for a turn-based experience, even with your brethren conforming to societal pressures and shifting to a real-time format."
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

Philip Boyes:
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.
