The History of Civilization now on Gamasutra
July 18th, 2007 by Benj Edwards
Earlier this year, I spent a few months getting into everything Civilization for an in-depth look at the history of Sid Meier’s classic. The result of that work is now up on Gamasutra as “The History of Civilization.” It also includes (at the end of the article) the transcript of a lengthy telephone interview I conducted with Sid Meier on the topic.
I’d like to extend special thanks to Sid Meier, Bruce C. Shelley, and Troy S. Goodfellow for their indispensable help in putting the piece together. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Great Read, as always. I love the level of detail. It always felt as if the the creators had a depth of general knowledge to draw on. This story confirms it. It really just made me love the games that much more.
Thank you for the read!
