&gt; I love the Civilization series, but I&#x27;ll be honest: it really bothers me that certain companies have one or two franchises and they keep churning out new iterations of them every year or every other year.<p>The main Civ series has had a new base-game release every 4-6 years, not every year or every other year.<p>Civ I: 1990
Civ II: 1996 (6 years)
Civ III: 2001 (5 years)
Civ IV: 2005 (4 years)
Civ V: 2010 (5 years)
Civ VI: 2016 (6 years)
