Sid Meier:Civ Facebook

[Metro]

Now, Meier is ready to take to the pages of Facebook with an incarnation of the franchise called "Civilization World." Developers hope to have the game up and running this summer.

"It's been the most dramatic stretch for the game, I'd have to say, so far," he said.

"We really weren't looking to make a quote-unquote 'Facebook game'," he said. "We were looking at what does Facebook bring us that is unique, that we can leverage and take advantage of with 'Civilization'-style game play."

Meier said there were things that a Facebook game can offer Civ players over a traditional PC game. Connections with friends and a world with potentially hundreds of millions of players provided fuel for the development team to re-imagine the classic strategy game.

Et tu, Sid? Kill me now.

I've seen a non-animated one where this happens but once he breaks out of the universe he warps back into time and becomes the sperm that goes through life and grows into an adult and...the wheel turns again.

I think you need to re-imagine the word "re-imagine".

Inno-vention

What's the problem? Civ sucks anyway. Only good games Sid ever made were SMAC, Pirates and Sword of the Samurai.
