To quote Cid Meier in his Facebook post about the announcement,
“I wanted to let you know we’ll soon be looking for beta testers to help us develop a unique new way to play Civilization,” said Meier. “Ever since we finished Civilization Revolution last year, I’ve been looking at ways of expanding the Civ gameplay experience to include solo, competitive, and cooperative play to take advantage of the uniqueness of social networks. We’re calling this project Civilization Network and the full game will be available next year on Facebook.”
According to Meier, Civilization Network will heavily feature multiplayer participation, with Facebook friends sharing technology and coordinating strategy in battles. Players’ friends will be able to participate in elections and help decide resource management, as well as assist in espionage or the construction of Wonders of the World.
