One thing bugs me about this article. There is no acknowledgement of the "Civilization" board game that MicroProse licensed for the game. They are very different designs, but I suspect the board game influenced the early tech tree and the challenge of civil disorder from over population. Civilization is a great game, maybe the best computer strategy game of all time. But I think it's namesake deserves a mention.
