The civilization with the most Fame wins.

What players say

68% of 23,345 reviews are positive · 75% of 72 in the last 30 days

Players praise the tactical combat, city development, Neolithic opening, and approachable interface. Common complaints include turn-pending softlocks, save and loading failures, crashes, and frequent multiplayer disconnections. Some players also dislike culture switching and Fame-based victory, while large late-game battles can make turns drag.
