Civilization IV Mechanics

This overall game is a way in which you control your own civilization, wether it be a british, french, Chinese, russian and it models the real world. You start off as a settler and conquer land and building cities and building roads and mines... Then it becomes more complex when you start to include other civilizations in which you can start trading with people having war with them do politics. It really dynamic how it changes with different visuals in buildings and sounds when time goes by. It kinda reflects the real world in different ages of middle age, stone age, modern age with the aesthetics of the real world focusing on heuristics and familiarity. The best part of this game is the feeling of being the creator of your own city in which you create your own civilization and interact with other civilizations in real life world.

The overall system acts on a turn by turn based game in which it involves tiles where people can move in 9 different directions by tiles which is based on there movement factor. There includes other mechanics of war and resource trading which really makes the the game interesting. The aim of the game is to either conquer the world, build a spaceship to a different planet or when the time runs out. There are many different options and random aspects of the game which really makes you addicted to keep playing
