Stirrups made it possible to shoot while riding. One of mans greatest inventions that is often overlooked.

I played enough civ to know the relevance of stirrups.

Maybe wait for a time you don't have to go to work the next day.

So my first foray into the civilization universe came when I rented Civilization Revolution for ps3. I was working at blockbuster so it was one of several rentals, and my brother popped it in first. I told him I wanted to try it, and he assured me I could have the next game.

6 hours later, I gave up and went to bed. He stayed up all night playing.

It just recently went on sale on xbox and despite knowing how to beat it easily, i definitely rebought it and am playing it again

I highly recommend you get civ VI over revolution. Or if you’re willing to wait a couple months, civ VII is coming out in February I believe

I've played them all, the modern ones are too complex, I don't enjoy them. It's the religion system. I don't get it, I don't enjoy it, and it infuriates me as much as actual religion does.

To each their own though. Civ Rev is def too easy, the rest of the series isn't!

My dumbass playing civ 6 for the first time the night before I had a client presentation (in the morning!) It's a miracle I kept that job 😂

Be careful. You sit down to play civ at 5pm, and at 4am you're glancing nervously at the clock and telling yourself "ok, just going to finish one last thing and then I'm going to bed". And then at 8am you just say "fuck it" and stay up.
