Who should get this? Firstly, “gotta have ‘em all” Civilization fans. I can almost say “no” in 43 languages, given the number of rejections I have gotten.Įven if you already have the original game but have not yet gotten the expansions, which are retailing in Steam at US$29.99 (about S$38) apiece, The Complete Edition is still great value for money. You feel this the most when you meet the rulers of other states, and when they speak in their native languages. The huge variety of civilizations that Civ V lets you play out a number of different scenarios, and the detailed effort put into making the civilisations come to life, makes for a fabulous experience. Every decision you make has it trade-offs, and you need to ensure you have some way to balance things out. The World Congress is another game-changing mechanism where civilisations vote on proposals that can benefit or penalise different groups, so you will really have to use your allies to your advantage.Ĭiv V is enjoyable because of its complexity and almost endless gameplay, which is made even more refreshing with its expansions. You will also get the two expansion packs, Gods & Kings and Brave New World, both with additional gameplay features such as religion, trade routes and espionage.īrave New World, in particular, brings the game to another level with its focus on diplomacy and cooperation between civilisations through trans-border trade, research cooperation and even cultural and religious exchanges. If that’s not enough for you, The Complete Edition will wow you with a whopping 43 playable civilisations including Babylon with Nebuchednezzar II as its leader. The original Civ V was released in 2010 with 18 civilisations.
There is an endless array of ways to build and advance your civilisation, and the beauty of the game is that you can do it in so many ways. Or, if you prefer commerce, then build roads, set up trade routes and gain some favour with the other heads of states to establish trade. What kind of civilisation do you want to build? Are you looking for conquest? Then push for militaristic policies to gain bonuses in battle, spend your construction points building siege weapons and diversified troops and build up your technology tree to research in warfare. There are endless activities at each turn – more so in the later stages of the game when you have more cities, more units, more battles to wage, and more technology to develop. With limited resources and time to build and research, you do need to plan your priorities and development. It is a compelling turn-based strategy game which can make you lose hours and hours of sleep, building your empire or wonders through the ages. If you have been holding out for all the downloadable content and expansions for Civilization V (Civ V), now’s the time to start building your glorious empire with The Complete Edition, which brings all of these add-ons together in a package.įor those new to Civilization, Civ V is the fifth title in the established Civilization franchise.
