Modifi cation of Civilization IV for Windows XP or Vista

Modifi cation of Civilization IV for Windows XP or Vista Ethical mentor: Robert Bass; Design advisor: Peter Brinson Civilization IV was developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games

The original Civilization IV rewards imperialism through scoring the glory of the empire. Quality of Life reprogrammes the game to score the health and happiness of the citizens. By adapting John Broome’s extended quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and responding to Derek Parfit’s repugnant conclusions, this ethical calculus rewards restraint, diplomacy and art in Civilization IV. Play the mod. Explore your moral values.
