Expand your farms and mines to gain
the resources to build your cities. This lays the groundwork for
technological advancements, better governments, and great wonders.
Choose wise leaders whose legacy will lead your people to greatness.
Strengthen your army to protect your borders and to expand your
territory. And shape history with your political skill.
A strong
economy, advanced technology, happy citizens, enlightened government, a
strong military - your civilization needs to do well in many areas. You
may excel in some, but you should not fall behind in others. Adjust your
strategy to the opportunities the game offers. Your rivals will seek
advantages through wars and politics, so keep your defenses up. But
don’t neglect the finer things in life, because the civilization with
the most influential culture wins.
