Drop a spy behind enemy lines and you'll get valuable info, cheaper goods and the chance to behave in the contemporary ways spies do by discreetly dropping Polonium 210 into tea cups. The addition of spies and espionage missions means playing against someone isn't just about knowing what buildings and units to use first. We're talking McDonalds and Microsoft scale here, not making pasties in a medieval kitchen. The key difference to the way you rule is through corporations that can be spread, grown and used to dominate the world. There are 10 new scenarios including Babylon, Portugal and The Netherlands and 16 new leaders - Sitting Bull, Tokugawa, Gilgamesh and Justinian for starters. Corporations replace religion as the game progresses which allows you to play at being Alan Sugar rather than Jesus. Which, er, is probably why we're writing about games rather than making them. If there's somewhere else for it to go, we really can't see it. Speed the game up and it's accessible by everyone - even the fan community requested the Advance Start in addition to helping Firaxis build what is, in effect, pretty much the ultimate iteration of the series. It's something that hardcore fans (and Richard Branson) will relish, but this expansion also makes it easier for new players to play short games and still play a fun game without missing out on any toilet breaks or week-night onanism.Īdvance Start allows players to jump into an advanced level with a set level of funds in the bank, doing away with anything that might have been thought of as laborious by newcomers. Instead of winning the bid to get into space, you now have a new objective - to reach Alpha Centauri as well as actually getting into space. The new mode is called Final Frontier and is essentially an extension of the main aim of the game. With this new expansion, the ever expanding Civ universe has actually gone the whole hog and embraced The Universe, star systems, planets and Star Trek-style leaders and all. The series has been around, in one form or another, since 1991, and its bloodline is undeniably linked to numerous digital offspring from The Sims to World of Warcraft. It's hard to imagine a world without Civilization - and by that we mean Sid Meier's landmark life simulator.
