Civilization V Box Art Revealed!

The final box art for Civilization V has finally been released and - to me - it looks worthy of the game. A very nice collage of images from throughout the development of human civilization - although the earlier phases are given only a slight nod with the pyramids and catapults while the main focus is on rather modern eras.

Some people out there may be a bit dismayed by the focus on the western civilizations at the expense of Native American, African, Mid-East and Asian civilizations. It would certainly have been nice to see some images of Mongol hordes, Samurai armies, African tribesmen, Mid-American Native troops or buildings in the mix as well. This is a failing in the Civilization games in general, however, so it could be said that the cover art truthfully presents the main focus of the game as well.
