According to Giant Bomb, the first Civilization game was released January 1, 1991. The US version that is.
Interesting to see that they reduced the map and removed a good deal of the tech tree.

I seem to recall a friend buying it in February, 1991. Steam had a 20th anniversary sale on February 18, 2011 so that could possibly be around the release date.

As far as the AI declaring war 50 times, that's pathetic. It's bad enough that the AI is psychotic in Civilization 5 without this joke of an achievement.

Even if the 50x war thing is a joke, the Hundred Turn War achievement isn't. Note that, like many other achievements, it STILL doesn't work.

It was a joke because i only saw this happen in the new patch

That got removed, didn't it?

I doubt it, Pouakai. There were many achievements that shipped with the game that didn't work, and as far as I know, none were removed, just removed from visibility (they were never visible in Steam, they were "secret" achievements). I could be wrong though. *shrug*
I distinctly remember they removed the achievements that didn't work from steam.

I expect they will be telling us about this in the next few days. I do hope this wasn't a dud.

I highly doubt Sumeria and the Hittites will be in. There would be too many middle Eastern civs. Its not that I don't want them, I would like as many civs in the game as possible
, I just don't think they will make it in.
The Hittites!

Sound to me like a scenario pack of
Rise of Rome
Alexander the Great
ancient world Egypt/Hittite/Babylon/Assyria scenario

Arabs, Babylon, Ottomans, Persia, Egypt. For the Cradle of Civilization, I don't think there are enough. After all, Europe has England, France, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Russia, Rome, Greece. Two of the DLC have been European (compared to one Middle Eastern, which was released at the same time as the game).
Now don't get me wrong. I kinda want the Celts at some point and I think Asia should have a Civ released (Polynesia is in a nebulous category, I wouldn't quite call them an Asian DLC), but I do think we could use more Middle Eastern Civs as well. Now two doesn't seem as likely, but I could see a case made for either (or the Assyrians, fwiw).

Although I want to see both Sumeria and the Hittites added to the game, I have a feeling they won't be added in the upcoming DLC, as the achievement log doesn't seem to have an achievement along the lines of: 'Beat the game on any difficulty setting using <insert leader's name here>', even though all of the other civilizations have one.
I hope I'm wrong though...

There are still 15 achievements which do not appear in the debug file, which means there is possibility for them, and then the "Korea DLC" achievements
* I say Korea DLC as it is easier than saying "The other 13 achievements which still remain unclaimed that are hypothesized to be in an upcoming Downloaded Content pack featuring a yet-to-be-determined civilization and scenario".
** I know realise the latter would have been easier as I've had to write two more sentences explaining why I write Korea to be next

All those "secret" achievements that were posted here in the forums were a hoax. They were never even in the game to begin with. No official source ever confirmed them, no one found any code to confirm them, and no one managed to get even a single one of them (If there were secret achievements, I am willing to believe that some of these secret achievements would not be working, but not all of them).
Firaxis fixed a few achievements and removed a few others in the 2nd patch, IIRC.

That would suggest there's also a Korean scenario (which is certainty a possibility).

Hold on... where are Scenario_05 slots in the newly RE_activated debug file?
Korea_Joseon DLC has been delayed or replaced by a Mesopotamia version or what?
What is an RE file?
