In the early game you have a lot to choose from and half the battle is setting priorities on what to build. Each city can work up to 3 hexagonal tiles away and has the capability to produce worker units, which can improve these tiles thereby increasing their productive capacity, and constructing buildings which improve various things. It is turn based and your goal, in the early stages, is to get a solid set of cities from which to push towards victory. With the release of this new expansion pack you can pick from over 40 different civilizations from all of history and build up an empire from 4,000 BC to the far future.

If you are not familiar with this game I will do my best to explain it, however a game like this is almost impossible to explain in just a few sentences. The game is that addicting, it is not for nothing that the tagline to this game is “Just one more turn”. It was released a week ago today and since then I have already poured quite a few hours into it, trying to adjust my strategies and trying to try out all of the new gameplay mechanics. Every time I boot up the game I am reminded of the amount of time I have poured into this game, and as of this writing I given a total of 661 hours (27 days if you must know) to this game since it was released 3 years ago. I haven’t done much blogging recently because I have been playing the game about I am about to provide a review of, the expansion pack to Civilization 5, Brave New World.
