Sid Meier's Civilization V (also referred to as Civilization V, Civilization 5, Civ V or Civ 5) is a turn-based strategy game encompassing all of human history. Players attempt to take a fledgling civilization from 4000BC to modern times and lead their civilization to victory through domination, science, culture, or diplomacy.
One of the key aspects of the game is balancing interaction with the AI (or other players if you are playing multiplayer). There are many different civilizations you can play as and against, and they all have unique buildings, abilities, units, and personalities.
Civ 5 uses Steam as a distribution platform and cannot be played without Steam.
