Up through the first five hundred turns of the game, I really appreciated the look of the fully modeled and animated units, the animated water texture and the dynamic clouds of the "fog of war." After the game ended on the five hundredth turn and I continued to play, however, I started having stability problems;"

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.
