Sid Meier's Civilization was a PC legend by the time Civ II arrived, but it's rare for a sequel to be as influential as it is great -- Civ II is that sequel. This video explains its success: From Sid letting go of his own game, a look at Colonization, and a full analysis of this great game.

Sid Meier's Civilization II is one of the greatest and most influential gaming sequels ever made, and Sid Meier didn't actually have too much to do with it. As incredible as the original Civ was, this game was in many ways the one that set out the future of the series, and made sure it was going to be around forever. This video examines the many reasons behind it's greatness -- the genius of Brian Reynolds, his first steps forward with Colonization, how trouble at MicroProse allowed his team to operate under the radar, the various follow-ups and scenario packs, and -- of course -- the almighty Multimedia High Council. Enjoy!
