Avalon Hill's Advanced Civilization is a computer game based on the original board game by Avalon Hill and released in 1996.
The game supports 3-7 players, each of whom controls one of nine civilizations: Africa, Asia, Assyria, Babylon, Crete, Egypt, Illyria, Italy (also named Iberia), or Thrace. If fewer than three human players are available, AI players can be added to fill the remaining slots. It takes place in the lands around the Mediterranean Sea, through which players move population units to form cities and produce commodities that they can trade to opponents or spend to purchase tools (technologies). Players can also attack opponents' cities or use calamities to reduce their odds of winning. The Archaeological Succession Table (AST) acts as a turn tracker, and once one or more players reach the end of the AST, the player with the most Victory Points wins.
The game is free to play either online or by download on Free Game Empire.[1] Free Game Empire and Abandonia.com each have the original (1981) manual "RULES OF PLAY" as a PDF.[2]
