Civilization V Customisation Wiki

America led by Washington is a civilization available in vanilla Civilization V. It does not require any DLC.

Overview[]

America[]

The United States of America is a world "super-power" (which more or less means that it is vital to the world economy and balance of power). A relatively young civilization, the United States formed in the 18th century, nearly self-destructed in the 19th century, and became the most powerful and dominant military, technological, cultural and economical civilization in the 20th.

Washington[]

George Washington was one of a group of remarkable men who lived in the American Colonies in the late eighteenth century. Although not as pugnacious as John Adams, as imaginative as Benjamin Franklin, or as brilliant as Thomas Jefferson, Washington had the capacity to lead, in war and in peace. He led the Continental Army to victory against extraordinary odds, and by so doing he led his country to independence.

Welcome President Washington! You lead the industrious American civilization! Formed in the conflagration of revolution in the 18th century, within a hundred years, the young nation became embroiled in a terrible civil war that nearly tore the country apart, but it was just a few short years later in the 20th century that the United States reached the height of its power, emerging triumphant and mighty from the two terrible wars that destroyed so many other great nations. The United States is a nation of immigrants, filled with optimism and determination. They lack only a leader to help them fulfill their promise.

President Washington, can you lead the American people to greatness? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?

Introduction (Audio): The people of the United States of America welcome you.

Introduction (Text): The people of the United States of America welcome you. I trust you are a friend to liberty?

Defeat: The day is yours. I hope you will be merciful in your triumph.
