Gameplay

Civilization Revolution is a strategy game that is set throughout many eras of history. The game begins in the year 4000 BC. Each player is initially equipped with one settler and some military units. The goal is to start a city and make it prosper. As a city grows, players need to add military units, settlers and buildings to make each city more productive. There are sixteen civilizations with playable leaders such as England's Queen Elizabeth, Egypt's Cleopatra and America's Abraham Lincoln. All of the civilizations have inherently different strengths that are designed with equal power. Players are given a list of tasks to complete in order to progress through the game. Civilization Revolution also features a "game of the week" mode in which players download a game setup to compete for best single player score.
