      Unironically, the civilopedia entries from Civ 2 were one of my introductions to just how vast and different the past really was.

        I still remember being about 9 years old and reading up on what that hell a phalanx was in the Civ 1 civilopedia. I was slow rolling into the game and they’re great defensive units. Didn’t learn how to pronounce the word for quite a few more years.
