May I strongly suggest an alternative that just might scratch that itch?
Try the Through the Ages game app in your Android (possibly Apple?) device. Matches last one hour with single player (or knowleadgeable multiplayers) and you still get the civ-building feeling.
While it was, and is, originally a boardgame by a renowned author I find that it translates beautifully to a digital platform.
No finnicky moving pieces, automatic accounting, automatic randomization, automatic rule accountability... it all benefits greatly!
Thr strong points of the port, to me, are the good interface they came up with; the strong AI (seriously - I play this as a single player game 99% of the time. And I lose a lot.) and a great tutorial.

- RangerScience 6y agoSeconding: I view "Through the Ages" as the spiritual incarnation of Civ in board-game form; it produces the vibe one seeks from Civ, although the mechanics are hugely different. The designer, Vlada Chvatil, makes amazing games. Others to check out are "Dungeon Lords" (which is to Dungeon Keeper what TTA is to Civ) and "Original War" (a fascinatingly different RTS). The mobile game for TTA is solid, and has a set of variant challenge modes for single-player play that are pretty fun.
