I just browse on Amazons and found few items that I wanted. It’s a turn-based-board-game-strategy (wow! what a genre!). It was called Civilization IV: Beyond The Sword. As you can see from it’s title, it was an expansion pack from the previous series of Civilization IV. What can I tell about this game, is that this game is seriously addicted many of strategy game lovers.

Why?

One of the reason is because this game is the most realistic game to “build your country from nothing”.

What makes it so realistic?

Because the mod, or the system is closely related to the history of the world. It brought you the system that would make you spend a lot of research in history books and founds out that it is true.

For example?

For example, if in one city has no military unit, there will be public unrest. And people would have been discontent about the situation.

You see? That is quite realistic enough. Inspite of having control of your military unit, you must make an attention in your food production, food supplies, education level, culture level, people’s happiness, foreign disputes, foreign trades, income and expenses, etc.

I might want to buy it, however, money matters. I still have to handle my financial problem. My one and only source of money is from my parents. I must work hard to make their burden relieved. As well as to finance myself in the future.

Here is the image of the cover:

Maybe I just wait for the “edited” version. If You’re Indonesian, you must know what I mean.
