Dueling Analogs

As the game that launched the "God Game" strategy genre, Civilization has allowed players to direct great armies in battles and bring warring factions together in dazzling feats of diplomacy. Every player experiences the ultimate thrill of being in command and leading a nation. Yet, we've always wondered what it would be like to hear from the units and characters inside the game - to give them a voice. What if life inside a game of Civilization was real - real at least to the characters inside the game's universe? What would the units inside a game say to each other? What would they say about you - the game's "God" - and the decisions you make and strategies you employ?

To answer some of these burning questions, we challenged this talented group of comic creators to give a voice to the characters in Civ through a series of comics called Civilization Daydreams. Starting on July 24th and ending August 10, 2007, these Civilization-themed web comics from the artists behind 8-Bit Theater, Control-Alt-Delete, Dueling Analogs, GUComics, MyExtraLife and PvPOnline, as well as animated shorts from members of the creative team behind the Over the Hedge comic and animated film, will debut on the comic creator websites and Civ fansites including www.apolyton.net, www.civfanatics.com and planetcivilization.gamespy.com. And of course we'll give them all a home here for your enjoyment.
