Advanced Civilization

Advanced Civilization is a classic MS-DOS adaptation of the complex and highly acclaimed Avalon Hill board game. This grand strategy title challenges players to guide one of several ancient civilizations through thousands of years of history. Begin with rudimentary settlements and develop your society through strategic trade, resource management, and technological advancement. Engage in diplomacy, negotiation, and occasional conflict with up to eight other civilizations, either human or AI-controlled, as you vie for dominance and prosperity across the ancient world. The game emphasizes economic growth and cultural progress, where players collect Commodity Cards and advance through a unique system of census phases, each requiring careful planning to accumulate the most prosperity points. Dive into a richly detailed historical simulation that demands strategic thinking, patience, and a keen understanding of interdependencies between expansion, trade, and disaster.
