The release of much anticipated world-changing game Civilisation VII with director Ed Beach and producer Dennis Shirk

First released in 1991 and sparking a whole new genre of empire-building games, computer game Civilization has tens of millions of players, among them tech world builders like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. . In the game you choose a leader from across ancient to modern history, and set about building a civilization. You develop agriculture, technology, a culture, economy, and religion. And, naturally,you expand territory, through both warfare and diplomacy. And no, current world leaders aren't allowed. It's a game super rich in scientific, political, economic and cultural detail. It's been nine years since the last edition of Civilization, and number seven ushers in plenty of changes. It launches on February 11. Joining Culture 101 are Lead Designer Ed Beach and Lead producer Dennis Shirk of Firaxis games.
