Ages ago there was only Avalon Hill's Civilization. It was one of the best strategy boardgames - if not the best strategy boardgame. And it still is, because it has it all - enough complexity, strategy, war, trade, unpredictable situations etc. They are all in perfect balance. And a historically correct background never hurt any strategy boardgame, especially not when the game covers the whole early history of mankind.
Quite a remarkable boardgame, I daresay After the first Civilization, two different subspecies of the game evolved. There was a certain Sid Meier who played the boardgame, and needless to say he liked it. A lot. In , he released his own version: Sid Meier's Civilization. A game whose triumph would last for years to come. The other game which evolved was Advanced Civilization, an expansion to Avalon Hill's original Civilization.
It made a few improvements and formed the basis for the game reviewed here. The game happened to be published almost at the same time as the second part of Sid Meier's Civilization series. Guess which one sold and which one was left on the shelves of stores to collect dust Advanced Civilization was published for PC in as a faithful conversion of the boardgame.
It managed to stay true to the original and capture its mood while adding playing variants and included the possibility of playing against the computer.
The AI was created to be extremely advanced. Phases: The game was rounds-based. Each round consisted of thirteen phases, which were all linked to each other. That way, each of them could affect the possibilities of actions in the coming phases. Civilization West Extension Map.

I do not know what the problem is with the ISO version, but in reading the other comments it does not seem like I am the only one with a problem with this game.

And at advanced play it is about managing that your opponents get those events. Thanks for rescuing a part of gaming history. Fernando 0 point. I've been playing this game for weeks now, I mean, I regularlly play it. It's been very hard to win, but at least I've been able to understand the general idea of the game, play it comfortably and have fun for many hours.
I think that the easiest AI is kinda complicated. I had this since when it came out for the PC, so many years ago. I still have it, and the original box and everything.

We were at it for several months. It took up the entire room, and after a few months of playing for 5 hours a sitting once a week, we still hadn't made it to 20 turns.
