Sid Meier’s Civilization Coming to Facebook
By Jared Newman
Civilization, the society simulation game that eats days of your life at a time, will morph into a massive multiplayer online game on Facebook. Oh great. Sid Meier, the series’ creator, broke the news on Civilization’s fan forums, and he’ll soon be looking for beta testers. To quote Meier exactly:
Civilization Network will allow you to join together with your friends to create the world’s most powerful, richest, smartest, or just plain coolest civilization. You can coordinate your strategy to win great battles, share your technology to jump ahead of your rivals, lobby your family and friends to form your own government and win vital elections, manage and grow your cities to maximize production and happiness, spy on your enemies, and work with your friends to create the great Wonders of the World.
The game will be out next year, and it’ll be free to play. Keep up with developments on the Facebook fan page. [Civ Fanatics Forums via Shacknews]
