My son managed to understand the game within 3 days. The only thing about civilization 5 is that its learning curve is MASSIVE. Giving kids some extra knowledge on the way! E.g.: the leaders are accurate to their respected nations (Washington to USA, Gandhi to India etc) it also has historically accurate units and buildings (japan has the samurai, Egypt has the tomb etc) It also has some historical accuracy to it. It also shows how easy it is to get into debt and how hard it is to get out. For each unit killed you loose time building/training the unit and you lose a front in the war. The game also teaches kids to balance a budget and the war is costly both time and money wise. But all it is really is the soldiers go to fight, then if one of them gets hit they fall on the ground then just disappear. Although it may be necsessary if people just dont play fair with your agreements, or you just need the land you can easily win by not going to war with anyone, but on the contrary making allies with them and city states (Required for a diplo victory :D) There are several ways to win:Īnd the great thing about civ is that if you don't like war games then you don't have to go to war. For example, babylon (nebuchadnezzer) gains great scientists faster than other civs, meaning it's great for a science based playthrough. Every 'civ' has different unique units and buildings, and added buffs for different things. You choose a great ruler from the past (eg: G.Washington, ghandi, genghis kahn, napoleon, etc) which are all different and set out for different playstyles.
It's addictive, which may be a bad thing, but it's also educational.
