The AI is programmed to, upon contact, constantly wage war with you, barring situations where you've managed to defeat them so thoroughly that they can only last a couple more turns if the situation continues. Breaker: The Great Wall Wonder in Revolution 2 completely destroys them. Adventure Archaeologist: In Brave New World, both the archaeologist icon and a specific achievement are Shout Outs to the Adventure Archaeologist.
Achievement Mockery: Some of V's achievements are less than complimentary, including "He threw a car at my head!" for having to buy back one of your cities from barbarian conquerors, and "Seriously?!?" for repeatedly failing to construct Wonders.Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Many, as a game which truly approximated all the headaches of running an Empire would only be interesting to professors, extremely hardcore gamers, and megalomaniacs.Later games added more win conditions: get elected leader of the world by the United Nations, controlling a dominant chunk of the planet (which kind of renders obsolete the "conquer everyone" goal, which is probably why it was removed again later), convert everyone to your religion, or create a culture so influential that it engulfs everyone else's. The first installments gave you two ways to win: conquering everyone, or sending a colony to Alpha Centauri.

In comparison to other games released however, this places Civilization Revolution 2 in the bottom quarter of games scored on Metacritic for the iOS platform in 2014.Civilization is a popular "4X" Long Runner game series. The game was moderately well received with a score of 66 on Metacritic. A physical version, featuring box art designed by Hidari, is available in Asia in both local languages and English. Ultimately it only launched in Asia on that date, whereas the western release was delayed twice before coming out on late March 2016.
Adding exclusive scenarios, units and world leaders (including Oda Nobunaga, Heihachiro Togo and Himiko), the game was set for release globally on December 3, 2015.
An Android version of the game was released on November 7, 2014.Ī PlayStation Vita version of the game, entitled Civilization Revolution 2 Plus, was announced in October 2015. The iOS version of the game was released in July 2014. Each victory has different ways of achieving it. There are four ways to win the game: Domination (capture all enemy capitals), Economic (collect 20,000 gold pieces and build the World Bank), Cultural (acquire 20 converted cities, wonders, or great people, then build the United Nations), and Science (be the first to launch a spaceship to Alpha Centauri). Other civilizations are also on the map, whom the player can discuss world leaders with and trade technologies. Once a player has founded their capital, one may start research and city production. Players are tasked with building an empire from one of several choices, including Japan, America, Russia, and several other picks. The game features returning leaders from the original Civilization Revolution, such as Abraham Lincoln and Napoleon Bonaparte, along with new leaders such as Winston Churchill and John F.
