Civ V is now the franchise’s phoenix rising from the fire, to many it is their favourite and first entry to the series. Thankfully, the Brave New Worlds expansion came out and as they say, the rest is history.

Veterans of Sid Meier’s timeless Civilization franchise will recall that Civilization V started life as a contentious entry to the series.
