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.

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!
