Hi! I am an archaeologist and I´m making a study of usage of the past and historical elements in video games. Historical aspects in games and in the civilization franchise especially are becoming more prominent.
What do you think players, such as yourselves, retain from Civ’s focus on the past and historical elements?
What are your personal experience and thoughts of Civ’s way of historical portraying?
I appreciate your answers and opinions. Your aliases won't be seen in the study and it will only be read by my professor. The answer doesn't have to be good or smart. I just want your thoughts, opinions, experiences and feelings!
Is the historical setting important for your gaming experience? Why or why not?
