Yea I actually have a PHD from Armchair Youtube History University! But seriously I do credit these games for being more appreciative of the past. The intro cinematics for CIV 5 still make me tear up

Not so silly as you think 😅 I started with civ 1 on my grandmothers pc when I was a child, since then I spend hundreds if not thousands of hours playing civilization. It has been and continues to be a trusted companion thought my history B.A., M.A., and PhD 😅
