History is littered with defeated Civilization-likes, from Humankind to GalCiv 4. Try as they might, no one’s knocked old Sid Meier off his perch just yet, even six games in and 27 years on. But that doesn’t mean devs will stop trying. Enter Millennia, a new 4X strategy game from C Prompt published by Paradox Interactive.
For big chunks of demo, I didn’t. You’ve got your cities, your settlers, your major competitors and the minor, single-city bit-players you’re competing for influence over. You’ll fend off barbarians and rush for space and resources in the early game, send scouts to explore the frontier, and set workers to improve the resource tiles that surround your cities.
