Sid Meier's Civilization V is the fifth installment in the legendary 4X turn-based strategy series from Firaxis Games — and for many players, the definitive entry. Lead one of 43 civilizations from the ancient world to the space age across a procedurally generated map, competing through research, diplomacy, expansion, culture or military conquest. Civilization V introduced a revolutionary hexagonal tile grid replacing the square tiles of all previous games, and a strict one-unit-per-tile system that dramatically deepened tactical warfare. Leaders now speak their native languages in fully animated diplomacy screens.
