Not really something I see mentioned, unless Sid Meier wanted to differentiate his civilisation from the boardgame by prefixing his name on it?
I vaguely remember an interview with him treating the tech-tree concept as one he invented, not sure if that holds up? I do know that he mentioned a prior city combat game as being one he lifted the combat mechanics from, the initial game was going to be realtime until he decided to go with turn-based instead…
I'm pretty sure I played Civilization as a board game... I was a bit puzzled by the earlier discussion here about it as a computer game to be honest!
basically his AI was set at the minimum level of aggression, but one of the civics would lower the ai’s aggressiveness by 1, and so he went 1=> 255 (or the equivalent), just in time for civ’s to have nukes…
Did it have a tech tree @seancorfield?
I've no idea what a "tech tree" is. I should also point out that I know nothing of computer games. I've never played video games nor computer games.
Well, I played a text-based adventure game at university but that's about it.
ADVENT aka Colossal Cave Adventure. That was the last computer game I played. I guess that's about 40 years ago.

I don't remember 🙂 That was a long time ago!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5aK7ycEMUY I keep thinking of this
It will be interesting to see how companies deal with extended WFH periods -- and whether some of them will allow employees to continue to WFH even after C-19 is cleared...
The managers, wanting bums on seats, will rebel against people working from home (after all, if they can't see you, who knows what you might be up too...), and pull people back into shared space...
To be honest, I’m curious what it will do to companies with a fairly significant meeting culture…
Back when I was at Adobe (after they bought Macromedia, where I'd worked for six years) they were very fond of meetings. I spent a lot of my time (as a team lead) in large meetings almost every day 😞
Adobe was very big on face-to-face consensus -- and if a small team meeting couldn't reach consensus, they would just keep adding more and more people and having more and more meetings until most everyone agreed (mostly out of fatigue, at that point I think!).
I'm hopeful that this will encourage a sea-change (sic?) in the way people work, for more remote working etc...
