Game review of Sid Meier’s Civilisation 5 : Gods and Kings


Hey guys! This is AxisStrat again bringing you yet another RTS game review.

This time I’m going to be talking about Sid Meier’s Civilisations 5: Gods and Kings.

I have played many Sid Meier’s Civilisations games before and I was not disappointed when I got myself a copy of this game.

This game has many new features including:

New religion and espionage modules build on the core game in meaningful ways 

 Plenty of new civilisations to play and buildings to build  

Improved AI  

Streamlined rules and removes exploits.

As its title suggests, the foremost new inclusion in Gods and Kings is religion as a cultural and political force. A new cumulative resource, faith, is now part of the game, riding alongside culture, gold, and happiness. 

Faith can be gathered initially by building shrines and temples, or by stumbling across a random quantity as a prize for searching through ancient ruins.

Players get to create their own pantheon which basically gives players more ‘control’ over their civilisation. This new concept also gives some truth to the claim that no two civilisations are ever the same in this game.

City defense has been enhanced in Gods and Kings, and you need serious firepower to take one over.


Players can even ‘steal’ a religion founded by another player or convert rivals to their way of thinking.  This provides both the player and the rival with benefits, but the advantage belongs to the aggressor, since they ultimately control the direction of the religion.

Furthermore, civilizations that follow the same religion tend to be friendlier and more willing to help one another (although this is far from a given), and conversely, those that follow different faiths tend to form coalitions against each other. It's an aspect that greatly enhances Sid Meier’s Civilisations 5: Gods and Kings Gameplay.



Well, that’s it from me!  Until next time, Cya!
