If you're a fan of Civ V but wished the end were a bit better fleshed out and more fun, this is a definite Buy.Civilization 5 is the fifth iteration of Sid MeierвЂ™s Civilization series. And even though there are myriad new things to manage and pay attention to, it never feels overwhelming or inaccessible. Firaxis seamlessly weaves the new content into the old, creating an even more challenging, deep, and ultimately addictive experience. I finished it, and won, without fighting a single enemy troop outside of some early game barbarians.ДЄll told, a worthwhile addition to Civilization V.

These are shorter, more focused mini-campaigns without all the bells and whistles that make for nice diversions.

In other words, trade-even more so than the game's new diplomacy mechanics-really does reflect the benefits of trade between peaceful nations and the detriments of war to global prosperity. You can earn piles of cash opening up the right trade routes, but in so doing open the floodgates for foreign religions to impact your cities while at the same time handing over your own gains in science to the enemy. Meanwhile, trade is a much more complicated affair than you might think.
