  • Fan Nickname: As might be expected, fans like to shorten the names of the world's legendary leaders when typing them out, so Alexander the Great becomes "Alex", Catherine the Great becomes "Cath", Montezuma becomes "Monty", etc.
  • Hey Its That Voice:
    • In Civilization IV, the narrator is none other than Leonard Nimoy himself, with Sid Meier taking his place with expansion-exclusive narrations.
    • Civilization V meanwhile features the voice-work of British actor William Morgan Sheppard. Aka, Xanatos' father.
  • Promoted Fanboy: Jon Shafer became the lead designer of Civilization V at age 25, after growing up playing the first installments of the series.
