Civ 5 box revealed

[SpencerH]

Why would anyone give a **** about a box that you're gonna toss out?

[One_more_turn]

Civilization is very much a war game.

To get highest scores, you must rough up everyone else;

To have the initiatives, you must make war upon others;

If the peaceful Roosevelt starts next to the psycho Monty, he will be taken out very early on. That tells you who is really in control. The worst AI of all is that Charlie freak who blights the landscape with his worthless cities and protective archers (and landsknechts).

Landsknechts are pretty OP and the supercourthouses are fairly woo, too.

I don't know if I speak for just myself or not, but I first was introduced to civ when I was browsing through the aisle and saw a box with buildings and such on it that spoke a bit about what was happening in the game. If it was a plain black box I probably wouldn't have picked it up.

We already know about Civ so they could put a banana peel on it and we'd buy it. But for someone new, a black box probably isn't enough to entice someone and explain what the game is about.
