If you’re not familiar with the story, I’ll set you up with a summary here. The 1991 turn-based strategy game, developed by MicroProse and Koei, has the player choose which historical or current civilisation to take forward and build an empire. Each civilisation is led by a famous figure from this group: for example, Queen Elizabeth I for England, Mao Tse Tung for China, Mohandas Gandhi for India, and so on. Once the game begins, the player controls their civilisation and the computer will control the others, as they all vie for total domination over the game world through their own means.
