[[Civilization]] is a popular [[4X]] game developed by [[Sid Meier]]. The original game was developed in 1991, and there have been four [[Numbered Sequels|direct sequels]] ([[Mission Pack Sequel|all of which are sequentially improved refinements and updates on the basic concept]]), numerous expansion packs, and many spin-offs (''[[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri]]'', ''[[Colonization]]'', ''[[In Name Only|Civilization: Call To Power]]''), as well as the much simplified ''Civilization Revolution'' for home consoles, the [[Nintendo DS]] and iPhone, and ''Civ World'' for [[Facebook]]. The game was originally inspired by a [[Board Games]], and has since [[Recursive Adaptation|spawned two others]]. Many polls and lists of the best computer games ever developed have, at various times, listed several of the games in the series, often at #1. |

The general concept is that the player controls a civilization from the stone age through the present day into the space age. The first installments gave you two ways to win: conquering everyone, or [[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri|sending a colony to Alpha Centauri]]. Later, three more conditions were added: get elected leader of the world by the [[United Nations]], controlling a dominant chunk of the planet (which kind of obsoletes the "conquer everyone" goal, which is probably why it was removed again later), or create a culture so influential that it engulfs everyone else's. |
