Sid Meier's Civilization II is a turn-based strategy game developed by MicroProse Software and released in 1996 for PC, Mac, and PlayStation. Players guide one of several historical civilizations from antiquity through the modern era, managing city development, technological research, diplomacy, and military campaigns across procedurally varied maps. The core objective is to build a dominant civilization by balancing economic growth, cultural advancement, and territorial expansion while competing against rival nations controlled by the AI. The game retains the foundational systems of its predecessor while refining and expanding on them, offering deeper mechanics and additional units, technologies, and government types. Its combination of long-term strategic planning and moment-to-moment tactical decisions across multiple paths to victory established it as a landmark entry in the Civilization series and the broader turn-based strategy genre.
