   One of the better civ games given a production that, among other improvements, incorporates the necessary expansion in a considered fashion. Playable in 3-4 hours with strategic thrust and constant tactical considerations that require the player to bring themself back into strategic balance. That time is needed to provide the full civ arc. Leaders, nations, and the tech tree provide ample meaningful variation without even accounting for the disruption of the events.

   I know, that calling Clash "a civilization-game" isn't quite right, it's more a civilization themed 4X-strategy game. But for me it's more of "civilization-game" than any other. Yes, there is no such important component of a real Civilization as development through the ages, however, even without this, it looks great in all its components, from the mechanics to the stunning design. Perhaps the most important detail that distinguishes this particular civilization from others is a visual representation on the map of what you are developing. And the second point is the most convenient organization of the player's space, the lack of which also affects competitors in the genre.

   Game components are not perfect. Should have actions tracker and some indication of city activation. Goals and events not balanced
