Civilization IV

 

"The fourth game in the PC strategy series that has sold over five million
copies, Sid Meier's Civilization IV is a bold step forward for the
franchise, with spectacular new 3D graphics and all-new single and
multiplayer content. Civilization IV will also set a new standard for
user-modification, allowing gamers to create their own add-ons using Python
and XML.

 

Sid Meier's Civilization IV will be released for PC in late 2005. For more
information please visit www.firaxis.com or write kgilmore at firaxis.com."

 

Boost.Python is used as the interface layer between the C++ game code and
Python.  Python is used for many purposes in the game, including map
generation, interface screens, game events, tools, tutorials, etc.  Most
high-level game operations have been exposed to Python in order to give
modders the power they need to customize the game.
