Likewise, though I wasn't certain about it for the first dozen hours or so, the new super-friendly interface has grown on me quite a bit, despite its almost over-eagerness to move things along. In practice, this turned out to be one of the least transformative changes-after just a few minutes of ordering around my units I barely noticed the difference, and I never once found myself pining for the old squares. Some seem like a bigger deal than they actually are-going in, I'd expected the most dramatic one would be the shift from the traditional map of a grid of squares to Civ V 's honeycomb of hexagons. Under the striking visual layer are innumerable changes to the usual Civ gameplay. It's the most beautiful, lively virtual game board you've ever seen. Cattle, sheep, horses and elephants graze their respective tiles indicating sources of food, mounts and ivory, and in the hypnotically glistening ocean you can see whales breaching and schools of fish swimming beneath the surface. Zooming in on a tile with a fur resource shows a pair of foxes frolicking together. The painterly art style of the randomly-generated virgin landscape you see when starting a new game feels like Monet meets Google Maps, with bright colors and stunning attention to detail. Graphics may be superficial in a game like this, but it has to be said that Civ V is indisputably the best looking turn-based strategy game ever made. You begin with a single settler in 4000 BC, and over the next 6,050 years you lead your fledgling nation turn-by-turn as you found a city, research technologies, raise an army, build history's greatest man-made wonders, expand to a sprawling empire and finally make your play for world domination - all in competition with other nations. At a foundational level, it's very familiar.
