Civilization Revolution Preview @ EuroGamer

[Thunderfall]

EuroGamer posted a hands-on preview of Civilization Revolution last Friday. The author talked about some differences between Civilization Revolution and traditional Civilization games in terms of game speed, map size, AI behavior, and diplomacy. He felt that veteran civilization players might not like the changes and might find single-player unsatisfying, but said multiplayer game should be much better due to clearer and more attainable goals.

It's not a game of minute adjustments, but of major shifts - every city, every building, every unit, every unit upgrade matters so very much. What's remarkably clear throughout is that it really is not a sequel to Civilization IV - it's very much off doing its own thing, with no intention of replacing its bigger-boned PC brother. A revolution? Perhaps not. It is, however, exceptionally brave.

That's one of the most useful game reviews I've read in a while. Thanks Europe.
