While the game has developed and expanded in complexity over the decades, the essential elements have remained the same since I’ve been playing. Yet Civilization’s staying-power also sits uncomfortably with an incipient opposition from those opposed to its imperial overtones, and provides a fascinating window into the persistent, underlying colonial assumptions of modern-day society. Yet the record-breaking franchise, now in its sixth iteration, has continued to ensnare generations of PC gamers with its epic sweep, imaginative scope, and highly addictive turn-based gameplay that allows you to take an ancient empire to conquer the world-and then colonize the stars. If you were to tell the children and adults who first bought copies of legendary PC game designer Sid Meier’s Civilization in 1991 that they would still be playing some version of this classic game of imperial expansion almost thirty years later, they probably wouldn’t have believed you.

To discover an area, you must recruit an explorer as the captain of your ships, then you must assign him to go to the area you want to explore. This island is found on the African coast, but there is only one problem, it is currently not explored. Once you have got the colonist, you will want to start with Cape Verde.
