The civilisation that you lead in each of the Campaigns is chosen for you – Greek in the first
Campaign, for example. As you complete objectives in the various scenarios that make up the
Campaign, you are occasionally rewarded with “Civ Points.” Civ Points can be spent in the
Civilisation Builder to purchase bonuses, which enhance your civilisation in some respect. In
this sense, your civilisation in the Campaign “evolves” over time in whatever directions you

Campaign, you are occasionally rewarded with “Civ Points.” Civ Points can be spent in the
Civilisation Builder to purchase bonuses, which enhance your civilisation in some respect. In
this sense, your civilisation in the Campaign “evolves” over time in whatever directions you
want to take it.
When you earn Civ Points, you receive a message to that
effect and the Civilisation Selections button in the user inter-
face starts blinking. Click on the Civilisation Selections
button whenever you are ready to spend the Civ Points. In
all Single Player games, the game pauses when you enter
the Civ Builder. You can spend the Civ Points you
have earned however you want, but try to choose
bonuses that you believe will most benefit your
civilisation given its current situation. Once you
return to the game, you cannot change your choices.
The bonuses you choose to purchase carry over to the next scenario in
the Campaign. Civ Points that you decide not to spend also carry over to the
next scenario so you can spend them later.

Campaign’s scenarios yet, you have to select the first scenario. To continue a Campaign you
have already started, select the next available scenario in the list. You can also replay any
scenario that you have already finished. Once you choose a scenario, you can read the Info

and gives you your objectives. Click the Start button (with the check mark) to start playing.
