		Civilization, or Sid Meier's Civilization (which is the game's official name) is a turn-based strategy game created by Sid Meier for Microprose in 1991.
		The game can be won either by destroying all other civilizations, lasting until the end of the modern era, 2050, or by becoming the first civilization to succeed at space colonization, in this case reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.
		The game pulled the introductory text from a text file located in the game's computer directory, and it was possible to alter the text file to manipulate the game's introduction (sometimes to comedic effect).

	Sid Meier's Civilization
		While civilizations have risen and fallen over the past 8000 years, the impulse to civilize, to develop natural and human resources for the betterment of the population, has remained for the most part constant.

	Kulkmann´s Gamebox - Civilization
		Civilization is a game in which the players take up the roles of leaders which manage the fate of their civilizations during four eras from Ancient Times over Medieval and the Industrial Era to Modern Times.
		The main game then is played in turns (with alternating starting players), and each turn is divided into four phases in which each of the players is allowed to act.
		However, Civilization also scores with the rest of its rules and the design of its playing components, and thus I would deem it to be the most advanced and best constructed boardgame in the class of "Build-and-Conquer" Games.

		Not only did Civilization revive game genres thought to be dead—those based on history or strategy—but it demonstrated the potential complexity of the medium, offering players a seemingly endless variety of challenges and situations.
		This is important: Most game industry analysts agree that Meier is one of the last game designers to write games solely because he himself would want to play them.
		Though a bit of an oddity by computer gaming industry standards it was based on the three-day Civil War battle it sold well enough for the distributor gaming heavyweight Electronic Arts to extend a publishing agreement for two additional titles.

		The computer game series Civilization created by Sid Meier manages to find a spot near the top of every list of top computer games of all time.
		Despotism is the original form of government at the dawn of civilization, and different government types are “discovered” through research, and democracy is considered the most advanced and generally advantageous form to have in the game.
		The existing games would make such a conquest the end of game for the conquered, and the conquered take on the culture and identity of the victor.

		To implement the board game rules, it would be neccessary to have excessive file transfers for the movement phase instead of just one per player.

	MicroProse Buys out Hartland Trefoil

		With the original game already inducted into the Computer Gaming World Hall of Fame, SID MEIER'S CIVILIZATION® II was hailed as the "Game of the Year" in 1996 by Time Magazine, PC Gamer and Computer Retail Week and "Strategy Game of the Year" by Computer Gaming World.
		While I have been told that MicroProse has no interest in the Board Game market, it would seem to imply that they wanted the rights to the names (of Civilization and 18xx) and/or they are looking at board games as a starting point for further computer games.
