Civilization IV started shipping today!

Quote:

Sid Meier bestrides the strategy genre like a colossus. A cardigan-wearing colossus it's true, but a colossus nonetheless. Never mind that he's designed some of the greatest games of all time in a huge variety of genres, (who can forget those old Microprose classics like F19, or Pirates!) but Sid's lasting gift to the gaming world is undoubtedly Civilization, the strangely spelt (to us UK types anyway) but fantastically enduring series, which makes a classic game out of the sum total of human history.

The latest incarnation Civ IV has just erupted onto the gaming scene and Zone's Steve Hill recently caught with Sid to hear his thoughts on the latest version of the best turn-based strategy game and series of all time.
