The sixth installment of the legendary series of turn-based strategy games that allow us to control a selected civilization throughout several thousand years of its history. It was traditionally developed by Firaxis Games led by Sid Meier, the franchise’s creator, himself. Gameplay-wise, Civilization VI combines together the well-proven solutions of its predecessors but also introduces several revolutionary changes. The most important one is the city development. Metropolises can now span across more than one field and consist of four kinds of districts: industrial, scientific, trading, and military. The technology development system was also modified, so that every invention offers an additional mini-quest that provides a useful bonus. Significant changes were also introduced in diplomacy, and the combat mechanics now somewhat mitigate the restrictions introduced by the fifth installment of the series. The game traditionally features an extensive and fully configurable multiplayer mode.

An extensive turn-based strategy game that came out as the fifth installment in the Civilization series, a popular franchise created by Sid Meier. Sid Meier's Civilization V was developed by Firaxis Games Studios supported by the publishing company Take Two Interactive. In accordance with the tradition of the series, player becomes the leader of a selected nation and leads it throughout a period of several thousand years. Gameplay mechanics underwent no major changes, and the new solutions (such as implementation of neutral city-states, hexagonal map grid, and the limit of one unit per field) are mostly results of evolution of previously employed ideas. Some visible changes were made to the visuals, which are now powered by a brand new graphic engine.

A sequel to the extremely successful turn-based strategy game Sid Meier's Civilization. Like in the first installment, our goal is to create a global empire through the advancement of army, economy and politics. Going from the year 4000 B.C. up to the distant future, the player can lead one of the 21 playable nations to its glory. Unlike its predecessor, the sequel allows the player to modify the rules of the game, like choosing the opponent, setting victory conditions, or changing the shape of the world. Also, there are two scenarios available: one set in the times of the Roman Empire and the other during the Second World War period. The civilization's development begins with the establishment of a settlement, its gradual expansion and the production of military and civil units. Subsequently, the player chooses the form of government and diplomacy, trade, technological investment and so on. Victory can be achieved in many ways: eliminating all opponents, cultural domination, or sending a colony spaceship to Alpha Centauri. The game comes with a map editor.

The first major expansion for the 2010’s strategy game by Firaxis Games. Sid Meier’s Civilization V: Gods & Kings offers a myriad of novelties, among which the expanded religion module is probably the most important one. It introduces a new aspect to the game, namely faith, thanks to which we can establish and develop our own religion. This, in turn, allows us to gain useful bonuses and gives us access to specific units (missionaries, inquisitors) or buildings (cathedrals, mosques). In the game, there are 27 units, 12 buildings, 9 Wonders, and 9 previously unavailable nations such as the Dutch, Celts, and Mayans. The players also received three exclusive scenarios: the fall of Rome, medieval era, and a steampunk Victorian world. Moreover, the developers reworked such gameplay aspects as free cities, diplomacy (the possibility of hiring spies and agents) and combat (better artificial intelligence).

The greatest novelty in comparison to the base version of the game is a story campaign titled “War in Heaven” in which the player participates in a conflict between the Fallen Empires. DLC doesn’t introduce any revolutionary changes to the gameplay premise known from the original game, but it does introduce a new race – the so-called Guardians – and Enclaves, independent facilities in which the player can trade resources and obtain information about the current situation in the game world. Stellaris: Leviathans uses the technology developed for the base game and its graphics are of same quality. However, the developers decided to implement new music themes that accompany the player during the game.

Star Ruler 2 takes place in a distant future, where humanity developed a technology that allowed long-distance interstellar travel, and made a contact with other sentient species. The game has no story per se – developments in the game are shaped by our decisions and actions made by the AI. Before the game starts we have to select one of the few races that we can turn into an intergalactic power. The players can, in real time, colonize planets, get their resources and develop cities and technology centers. It is also important to research new technologies and form alliances with other empires. A few thousand units can participate in battles at the same and the key to success lies in selecting the right ships, created by us thanks to the ships builder, in which we can choose each part of the vessel.

A 4X strategy game set in a fantasy universe and produced by the Polish studio Wastelands Interactive. The production was inspired by the cult game Master of Magic from 1994, and the authors designed it as its spiritual successor. The game takes place in a multi-dimensional, procedurally generated universe, where the fierce struggle for dominance requires the use of magic and sword. The gameplay focuses on four classic aspects: exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Our responsibilities include expanding our production facilities, technology development, army recruitment, as well as conquest or defense of territories. Victory can be assured by military, economic, or political domination. As befits a fantasy game, the developers have not forgotten about the diversity of races (humans, elves, dwarves, the undead) and spells assigned to one of 12 schools of magic. The popular D20 system, well-known to fans of traditional role-playing games, was used as a model.

Oriental Empires focuses on faithfully recreating historical events concerning the Chinese empire - the game encompasses a period of three thousand years between 1500 B.C and 1500 A.D. The player becomes a leader of a small tribe and their goal is to build up a powerful empire. To do so, they have to cultivate land, gather resources, build new towns, as well as recruit and train the army. It is also necessary to establish laws, conduct research on technologies or satisfy their subordinates in terms of their religious needs. The player's ultimate task however, is to convince the Chinese society that the player-controlled emperor is the actual Son of Heavens and the rightful ruler of the world. Because the player is not the only one willing to become the emperor, it is necessary to subjugate hostile parties first. This can be achieved either by diplomacy or great battles involving thousands of units.
