You take turns against other players, real or computer. Doesn't matter who's in control of the players, even since CIV 1 this is how the game works. It's turn based, by nature it's multiplayer. The game is literally designed as a multiplayer computerized board game. This is absolutely not a first player game front and center. A game like that would be pure single player experience like a Mario or Zelda game
Turn based automatically makes it multiplayer? Interesting. Thanks for letting us know.
No, not necessarily. But the fact that you have all players starting on relatively equal footing competing for a win condition does
I'll pass that along to the millions of players that have never touched multiplayer in a Civ game before. Thank you.
Literally what is the difference between a single player game of civ and a multiplayer game besides how you communicate with the other civs?
spoiler
It's the same exact game
