What does /lit/ think of Civilization V's selection of

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was one of my first introductions to philosophy but the Civ series since 4 has been watered-down pleb shit

Looks like a pretty cool list

It's a good list, at least what I read from it.
I'm pretty sure that kids don't play anything that would make them interested in reading though. Most of my nephews enjoy only Minecraft, DotA, and FOTM survival games. One of them was reading some new book about Illidan from Warcraft when I visited last. I got my son to play Pathologic (I see it here occasionally) and he seems to be reading my older stuff now from what I can tell. Maybe that influenced him, I don't know.

These lists are okay. I also imagine it's an easy list to mod.

I like the CIV series. It isn't perfect, but as a kid it got me interesting in knowing more about history. The Civilipedia entries, the in game glossary, was sometimes a bit limited. I remember the Civ 3 article on Fascism being particularly uninformative, but at least honest about the disputes around defining fascism

SMAC was top shelf.
