European Box Art

That's a good question. The US box just shows the aggression of MP games, but fails to show the 'total package' that is Civ.

Two boxes for two different markets.

US Box = Primal

EU Box = Sohisticated

As an American, I'll take that as a compliment.

That's up to you monkeyboy.

Keep that up and I'll have to arm wrestle you into submission.

Hmmm, me thinks a combination of the two would have been........

i prefer the american one though, the colors are, well, i dunno, just not right,to pale.

to watercolorish maybe

to watercolorish maybe

Like the maps in the game? Nothing wrong with that.

A diplomacy blurb: "I suggest you sign a peace treaty, because my well-trained arm-wrestlers are being moved near to your cities"

The funny thing is that AFAIK many armwrestling champions are european

Well, I liked more the european box, but Italy is so deformed to look like another country

It's more an "inside joke" between Alva and WarpStorm...

Then perhaps I should retire....

I don't know which is better.
This shows the game, but US cover shows what the in-game-world (from lower-level view) would look like.
No complains, this looks good enough.

I like the European box best! The colours is IMHO right(sorry alva!), and the map filled with small pieces of different parts of the game, is just right.

[Schee]

Maybe the designers could have opened an atlas before making this map... Ireland and Italy are awful, GB is much too small, I can't see Danemark, etc . But maybe it is done to show how the maps are in the game

Nevertheless it is better than the US box art

[Nikolai]

I can see Norway, that's all that matters!

i know it's a euro-fied version, but the name of the game is civiliZation, so suck it. :P

No it is correct since civilisation in the top right is not a brand name, therefore it needs to be spelt the official british way. Only the game title needs to be in the American version.

Suck it
