Civilization II
Civilization, but bigger and better, and with overhauled models for economy, diplomacy, and combat. Almost every aspect of gameplay has been thoughtfully tweaked, and a consequence is a slower paced, more micromanaged experience, but ultimately feels more balanced, more challenging, deeper, and more satisfying, without losing sight of the essence that makes Civilization so compelling in the first place. Scenario packs include the history-based Conflicts in Civilization and the fantasy-based Fantastic Worlds, and add a lot of interesting content.
