Just...One...More...Turn...

Jesus H. Christ, this franchise should be a controlled substance... I turn on my game to get one screen shot and I end up playing for hours...

"Gathering storm" is the most recent expansion for the Civilization series, adding in possibly the most interesting feature the franchise has ever had, dynamic maps with weather and natural disasters.

In order to simulate rising sea levels caused by climate change, the system will convert land and ice tiles into water tiles when certain conditions are met. These tiles are pre-selected at map spawn and the system tells you which tiles will flood and when, so you can avoid them with your settlers if you so choose. 

Another addition is the option to build canal districts (with the Panama Canal as a world wonder). I tend to build up as a naval power when I play and this makes that so much easier.

But my favorite addition is... the GIANT DEATH ROBOT! It looks like something out of Pacific Rim and it is a blast to play with.
