Many variables and options to victory [or defeat] - means no two games can be the "same"

Warlords is Fantastic and I prefer it to all other strategy games. A perfect balance between game play and graphics, plus you can play up tp 17 AI civilizations, all with customizable strengths. Best of all there is a simplified personal leaderboard so you can continually challenge your previous high score in whatever trait you chose to improve. the combinations of winning scenarios are never-ending. A major busus is there is no requirement for in-app purchases. :)

Classic 4X. I liked the first 3, but this IV was special to me. This game would run constantly on my computer for months at a time while I put in turns as time allowed... the mechanics are much different than V and VI... it could be a good nice spot for those of you looking for "something different" than CIV VI but still familiar enough to evoke the same feels.

I have been playing this game since I was a child with my dad. I love this game and think that it is better than the most recent Civ games.
