TheEscapist has published an interview with Sid Meier entitled "Just Your Average Gaming God," covering some broader aspects of video game making as well as details specific to the Civilization series.

| So I think both answers are right, there needs to be innovation and new ideas, but once an idea's out there, there's a lot you need to build on. I think Civilization is a good example. We're now up to Civilization IV and each of those games has brought something new that appealed to the audience that was designed to appeal to the audience of the preceding game. A good balance of both those things is really what's good for the consumer, and also good for the industry. [...] It's the same thing here; we can take some risks with some ideas we have because we have our track record. |
