Kinda interesting how there's more players from the 70s than from the 90s. True CivFanatics that have stayed with Civ since the 1st game, probably. I'm from '91 myself though and didn't discover Civ until a couple of years ago, sadly.

As person from 70th I'd say we're just children of the golden age of strategic games.
Surprised to see very little people born on 2000-2009!.
Btw 15 yo here
I wouldn't be surprised if your generation used message boards a lot less, having essentially grown up with other social media available. You might well be the welcome exception
. Also a lot of that decade are probably a little young for message boards (half of them being 10 or under).

There are many people born in the 2000s who are Civ fans. However, they are significantly underrepresented for legal reasons.
If you look at various parents guides (both religious and secular) for video games, Civilization games are ranked highly among computer games.
It helps that the game has the Civlopedia, which allows the game to be educational without it screaming "Edutainment" (given that there's a disclaimer at the start of the gameplay session stating that the events depicted in-game are fictional). Civilization games are among the few "edutainment" games popular with all ages. "Edutainment" is in quotes, because there are some stuff that are clearly fictional, such as religious units shooting lightning bolts at each other, though to be fair, it is extremely difficult to depict heated verbal exchanges visually.

Over 200 people born in the 50's. I couldn't imagine my Dad playing video games.

It's a good sign that the Civ games keep a loyal following.

Also, don't forget - this thread is on for 12 years. So some people who originally voted may not be with civ anymore.
