I think the name is shot for Civ Evolution, since it seems as if it is simply a mod for "civilization". When you read the info about the game it actually sounds quite interesting...
AI is programmed to win, and not to be a part of annoying you, just to back off later on. It actually aspires to win, and dont give a cr*p if you were the one the game is about... Fun twist...

There are lots of mods available for it, and as such it could be a long acquiantance...

Just look at it....

Oh yeah...

I prefer Civilization series, but if you'd rather have something for free, this is an acceptable alternative.

This is propably one of the best remakes of a populr game out there. If you miss the feeling of oldie Civilization then you should definently go for this one. And after that you should go for Freecol, which is a remake of... you guessed it... Colonization. I think I will go play either of these two games now. Which ever first pops in to view...

C-evo has been updated to version 1.1.0. You can download the new file from our game info page:

Most important changes (as they were described by the developer:

* The most obvious change is probably the new city happiness calculation (morale/wealth/control), which even seems to be a major change to the rules, but it's not. It's mainly a different way of presentation. The only small substantial change in this regard is that, when using luxury, it takes one point of luxury less now to prevent disorder in a city with an odd size. The new interpretation of the formula is more straight than the old, which makes it possible to make it clear within a small space on the city screen -- yes, it's visible now!

* The city tile management seemed to be a hopeless case to me. I didn't see another way to make this clear and easy than to spare the player with it - which means to automate it. Unlike the other means of macro management, this one is not an option that needs to be turned on, it's the default. You have to turn it off if you don't like it. To my surprise, I quickly appreciated the function and played my test games with the automatic activated most of the time. The playing experience has definitely changed a little with this tool. I was almost scared to turn it off in the end. I bet even most of the experienced players will play stronger with it. Maybe it's imperfect in some regard, but it makes up for that with diligence. It's always there.

* I rearranged the main screen mainly to bring everything related to the currently selected unit close together, with less need for explanation.

* The nation screen was rearranged and clarified, too.

* A warning when a battle is going to be lost, including a visualization of the combat calculation. You'll never see something like that in a non-deterministic game, at least not with the exact outcome!

* There's several new information messages and warnings all over the game, helping the novice to understand what's going on.
