You must try Civilization... I started in the prehistory age, build my militias and buildings, made irrigation farms and roads, and advaced my technology with different things like, mathmatics, physics, laws of gravity, explosives, chemistry, and then... space travel! You can either win by destroying bad guys or making a space ship by getting all the tecnolgys and flying to alpha Centcuri...? How do you spell it?

You can switch to millions of colors during gameplay, but the number of population on the citys will go all white instead of black. I photoshopped this picture to make the town populations black. As you can see, I'm the roman empire, took over the french's town, (Their only town, paris) and I was just researching gunpowder when I saved and took this picture. Beware of barbarians, they're red.

You either find scrolls of wisdom that gives you tecnology, men to fight with you, people who want to start a town, or a horde of barbarins who kill you.
