As an FPS player can someone explain to me why this game is so popular?
It's always in the top five of most played games on steam next to all the other action games.

Autism.

It has mass appeal. Its only downside is that it's weird balance niche requires it to play fucking slowly in turn mode.
Autism, literally. The whole game is just making small decisions every turn, to guide the game along a path you pre-planned, so you keep choosing the paths that would take you towards that goal. It's all small shit to make you occupied, and the completion of a building/unit/everything else gives a feeling of progress.
Very similar to Minecraft IMO. I've actually been playing it quite a lot lately, 405 hours in total.

Retards can't understand what makes strategy fun. They are beyond helping.

Because it is fun. Why else would you play a game?
A game lasts 10 hours, so all the people playing at once takes forever to finish.

Why would an ADHD-ridden kids like you would understand CIV anyways? Go back and play your Overwaifu-shit.
People who like to plan rather than react quickly.

It's a fun days-lasting strategy game where you listen to nice world music while hearing 2deep4u quotes everytime you research a technology or build a wonder.

If you're open to the idea of playing a game that's totally different from your FPS games, you could give it a shot. It's quite addictive if you have the attention span for it.
You get to kill dozens. We get to kill millions.

alexander, attila, dido, catherine, the horsefucker and enrico, the jew are the most reliable people on the game - always be sure to have your borders opened because at no point they will stab you in the back
