Editor’s Note:This is great news! I just started to get into the Civ games, thanks to both Naota and DarkknightH20. Civ IV was a really great game, and it is exciting to hear that they’ll upgrade upon that to make it even better. I just hope the game is easier for first time users, since I accidentally invaded the land of Foose on my first try…
