The Civilization UI is basically an interactive map and the first programme is about how maps portray civilization. The programme suggests that modern Iraq was founded on little else than lines on paper, yet the technology required to accurately produce such lines seems symbolic.

In the Civ5 screenshots I see much emphasis of topography, military units, and territory. Borders apparently no longer expand uniformly but instead over land considered important, the necessities. I guess this topic is about what intelligent conclusions you can draw from Civ5 screenshots, given that they are mostly maps. What do you guys think? i think i picked the easy one

Cool

Speaking as an anthropologist, this is pretty cool. Civ, however, is fiction and full of holes.

Moderator Action: and moved back to Civilization 5 - in the hopes that this does offer some civ related discussion topic
