Summary

“In the beginning, the Earth was without form, and void.” While MicroProse didn't exactly break the mould with the original Civ, they certainly kept hold of the mould once it was made. Sid Meier's Civilization (30 years ago) and Sid Meier's Civilization II (five years later), offered deep and endlessly compelling yet accessible aeon-spanning strategy that would become a multi-generational franchise. Leon, Chris, Josh and community contributors keep taking just one more turn. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_485.mp3 Music featured in this podcast: 1.

0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The The Hello everybody and welcome to the Cana Rince podcast. It's volume 10, issue 485. Today we're going to talk about chiefly two games,
0:57.8	but also a few others that surround them, the mighty Sid Mayer's civilization and the sequel,
1:05.7	Siv 2. Joining me, Leon Cox, in this issue, are Chris O'Regan. Hello.
1:11.6	And Joshua Garrity.
1:13.6	Hello there.
1:14.6	Welcome both.
1:15.6	Here we are to talk about, I was going to say all of civilization, but we're not talking
1:20.6	about all of civilization.
1:21.6	We decided that wouldn't be sensible.
1:24.6	No.

1:30.3	we're going to kind of talk about gens one and two of civilization,
1:34.3	which allows us to kind of go into a bit more depth and detail
1:37.0	than if we've done a full series show,
1:39.6	trying to take in all the twists and turns and changes that came along with SIVs 3, 4, 5 and 6
1:45.1	and various other games. But as always, we'll have a bit of a delve into the early days
1:52.4	because it is 30 years since SIV 1 came out and 25 years since Siv 2 came out.
1:57.9	What is Sid Meier's civilization you may be asking? It's possible you don't know.
2:03.4	In the briefest possible terms, it is a top-down, or isometric in the case of the sequel,
