How to win a game of 'Civilization,' according to its creator

On Friday, video gamers will get to experience Civilization VI -- the newest game in a franchise that for decades has invited players to lead one of history's great peoples from the prehistoric era to the space age. As the title suggests, it's a simulation of humanity's actual journey, complete with all the wars, politics and cultural struggles along the way. I sat down this week with Sid Meier, the creator of Civilization. He declined to discuss the finer points of playing as Donald Trump. But he did discuss his own Civ playstyle, and he hinted at what future versions of Civ may hold as our real-world technology gets increasingly sophisticated.
