At first, I choose Doom to play because my friend told me that it is a shooting game, all you need to do is shooting all the time. But I was thinking at that moment and realized that I am not the person who will like this kind of shooting game, it is not my game. Therefore I changed my canon game play to Civilization II which is a strategy game. Feel happy at that time.

After research about the CIV II, as known as a classic turn-based strategy computer game, was first released in 1996 for the PC and later ported to the Sony PlayStation.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_ii) But that still means nothing to me, I installed the game, gave it a try. The result is I died twice. How funny was that! After listening to Adrian’s advise which is read the manual, then I found that I started to understand this classic game.

Here is how I think, player in CIV II, is the leader of a kingdom. The time line starts at 4000 BC, in Old Stone Age, at that time, we don’t know any knowledge. All you can do is to explore the world and establish as many new cities as you can. Just like the king of the country, you have to make all the decisions which will impact on the development of your kingdom, from military to science technology.

LET'S BUILD OUR OWN CIVILIZATION

So the whole game is all about Civilization, there is two way to win this game. One is to conquer every other civilization. For this one, in my opinion, you might take risk of that. If the game level is not high enough, maybe you will beat others luckily. You need to be confident of the military a lot so that you have the ability to kill other civ. Otherwise, you will spend huge amount of money just to keep peaceful between two countries, and the reputation of you civ will be bad. Another victory way is to build a spaceship and also reach Alpha Centauri before any other civilizations.

One thing I need to mention is that people's happiness is very important throughout all your development. If unhappy people exceeds happy people in your city, it will make the city disorder. That will become a trouble. Because whether you make citizens happy or not will impact the score after. You have to make them happy so that you don't need to use extra time to entertain them. You have more important thing to do, to develop the technology and culture as well. The more knowledge you've got, the higher level of civilization you are in, more powerful of course.
