Civilization Revolution is a turn based strategy game where you take a simple stone age man and build up your own empire. Here you are able to build up your civilization to amazing heights, and even try to take to the stars and colonize new planets. In your way stand the opposing city states, who as you progress will try to stop you. You can of course just dominate them all to win too.As with many games you will need to spend your time exploring, gathering and preparing your empire. Increase your technology levels, farm materials to build skyscrapers and much more with a huge range of activities to keep you entertained. With many of the aspects from the series you love, with a new vibrant gameplay there is so much fun to be had here.
Rise of Nations
Rise of Nations is one of the most iconic yet somewhat underrated, completely unique real-time strategy game that is possibly inspired by games like Risk. Unlike most games where you simply build bases, amass armies and send them to destroy your opponents, Rise of Nations has more of a diplomatic and governing aspect that allows you to forge alliances and break them, as well as a series of Wonders of the World which, when built, will grant your nation unique bonuses. Aside from a ton of maps, the game also has a comparably wide variety of nations, each with their own special abilities and special military units, for you to play as.Although the gameplay in each individual battles are set in real time, the gameplay for the world map view is turn-based, supplemented with ability cards. There are also valuable resources that you can capture to give your nation certain perks. Best of all, you can immerse yourself in historical battles via the game's campaign which consisted of multiple scenarios or you can test your mettle by playing the game via its online multiplayer mode.
Rise of Nations is one of the best classic strategy games that definitely had managed to not only withstand the test of time but also thrive, somewhat, in today's day and age. If you're a fan of nation-building, this is a game you should most certainly play.
