Прекрасная игра моего детства. Ощущение доминирования над всем миром незабываемое, как и разочарование, когда твои города сметает резко развившийся сосед. Как бы не бесили меня из воздуха появляющиеся армии в городах противника при осаде, игра просто шикарная. Что музыка, что графика, что геймплей занимают особое место в моем сердце.

Classic. Very entertaining. Highly recommended to history lovers, especially.

Your troops - no matter how well trained - will continuously die trying to siege a city. There is no rhyme or reason, other than to just mess with the player. Utterly ridiculous game mechanics, my civ is 10x stronger than the one I'm trying to eradicate, and yet all my millennia newer units fall to 1 freaking Archer.

Sin lógica ninguna. Pensaba que el 6 era malo pero este no tiene por donde cogerlo.

I have been playing this game since it came out. Still one of my favorite versions of Civilization.
