But players would always approach how they went about winning similarly. “They would play the game over and over again, which was great, because we had 43 leaders in the game and so many different civilizations to try. “The number one thing we found was that players of Civilization V tended to come up with a specific pattern for how they would play the game, and then they would follow that pattern,” says Beach.
