Sid Meir is known to millions of adoring fans as the "Father of Computer Gaming" for his creation of one of the best selling strategy games of all time, "Civilization." Now Meir is taking on the world of social gaming on the pages of Facebook, with an incarnation of his famous franchise called "Civilization World." Developers hope to have this game up and running sometime this summer.
According to Meir, this has been the most dramatic stretch for the game to date. He said that they were not specifically looking to make a "Facebook game", but they were looking for what Facebook brings that is unique, and that could be leveraged to strategy game play. Things that a Facebook game can offer Civ players over a traditional PC game include connections with friends and a world with potentially hundreds of millions of players.
