Civilization V is a progressive game in which players develop and control a society beginning with the Ancient Era and progressing to modern times; the Information Era.
It allows the player to make large-scale decisions, such as the adoption of religion, implementing social policies, and waging war; but also smaller-scale decisions, such as building a farm, or settling a single city.
|
In all of these decisions, metrics are provided monitoring the "health" of your empire. Citizen satisfaction, wealth, production, and culture are but a few measurements offered.
Civilization V gives players a first-hand experience of governance. It allows you, the player, to experiment with complex concepts, strategies, policies, politics, and to see the direct consequences of your decisions. It is an opportunity to test out all of the things you think you would do in high-level government and to see how your ideas might have played out.

"With the understanding that this world is one in which we all share, comes the responsibility of knowing that the decisions you make today will have a lasting impact on the generations of tomorrow."
