Heavily influenced by world history, Sid Meier’s Civilization gives you the power to control an empire. Taking a look at the most-recent entry, Sid Meier’s Civ 5 gives you the control of the world around you from the dawn of mankind, all the way up to to the space age. You are given multiple ways to do this as you can select from various countries, all unique to their own heritage and history.
