'''''Civilization IV''''' is a 2005 turn-based strategy developed by Firaxis, and created by Sid Meier. The premise of the game is starting with a band of settlers in the year 4000 B.C. and creating a civilization to stand the test of time. Once the player enters the Industrial Era and beyond they have the ability to create units armed with many firearms. While the graphics are low quality (Which makes some guns difficult to I.D.), many guns are very intricate in their design and easily recognizable.

The premise of the game is starting with a band of settlers in the year 4000 BC and creating a civilization to stand the test of time. Once the player enters the Renaissance Era and beyond they have the ability to create units armed with many firearms. While the graphics are low quality (which makes some weapons difficult to identify), many guns are very intricately modeled and are thus easily recognizable.

Civilization IV
Civ4.jpg
Official Box Art
Release Date: 2005
Developer: Firaxis Games
Publisher: 2K Games
Series: Civilization
Platforms: Windows
Genre: Turn-based strategy


Civilization IV is a 2005 turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis, and created by Sid Meier. The premise of the game is starting with a band of settlers in the year 4000 BC and creating a civilization to stand the test of time. Once the player enters the Renaissance Era and beyond they have the ability to create units armed with many firearms. While the graphics are low quality (which makes some weapons difficult to identify), many guns are very intricately modeled and are thus easily recognizable.

The following weapons appear in the video game Civilization IV and its expansion packs:


Handguns

Single Action Army

If the player is granted a Great General in the Industrial Age and beyond, the Unit is seen wielding a blocky looking Single Action Army. The look of the General appears to be based off of George S. Patton, so the use of a Colt SAA is fitting.

Colt Single Action Army w/ 4.75" barrel ('Quick-Draw' / 'Civilian' model) - .45 Colt
The Great General brandishing his Colt Revolver. Note he is named Ivan the Terrible - All granted Great Person units are randomly named, leading to this.

Unknown Suppressed Pistol

The Industrial Age and later Great Spy's (based off James Bond) icon shows an unknown suppressed handgun.

Walther PPK

The SAM Infantry unit wields Skorpions whenever they attack (or are attacked by) ground-based units.

Rifles/Carbines

Spencer Carbine

The Cavalry unit (based off the US Cavalry), is seen using what appears to be a Spencer Carbine breechloader.

The Cavalry unit guards a river with their Spencer carbines.

Sporterized Rifle

The Russian Cossack unit wields what appears to be an unidentified sporterized rifles. They are not visible clearly enough for accurate identification, but they clearly have no protruding magazine, and a bolt handle turned down (with a characteristic recess under it), which suggests that this is either based on a sporterized Mauser rifle (such as Karabiner 98k), or on one of the many hunting models.

With some convention, it could be considered, that it must be depicts Berdan Rifle, which was a standard issue rifle for Cossacks during the later 19th century.

M1 Garand
