Civilization Revolution sequel coming directly to iOS
- 2K Games and Firaxis announced on 23 June 2014 a Civilization Revolution sequel for iOS, arriving Wednesday 2 July, with consoles left out as 2K focuses on mobile; it launched as a premium title[1]
- Civilization Revolution 2 launched on the App Store on 2 July 2014 at $14.99, versus $2.99 for the original iOS game[3][4]
- 2K described it as the first in the series developed exclusively for mobile; TIME noted little pre-release press and that 2K China appeared to be behind it[3][4]
Notable features
- A 4X turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games with Sid Meier as designer, a spin-off of the Civilization series and sequel to Civilization Revolution[2]
- The player rules a civilisation and advances it through history against other factions; leaders include returning Abraham Lincoln and Napoleon Bonaparte and new ones such as Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy[2][3]
- Adds units (Aircraft Carriers, Jet Fighters, Special Forces), technologies (Lasers, Modern Medicine, Information Technology), wonders (Nuclear Power Plant, Red Cross, Silicon Valley), 3D graphics and Scenario Mode; an Android version was to follow later in the year[3][4]
- Four ways to win: Domination (capture all enemy capitals), Economic (20,000 gold and the World Bank), Cultural (20 converted cities, wonders or great people, then the United Nations) and Science (first spaceship to Alpha Centauri)[2]
