BC4000 – Civilization Model

BC4000 – Civilization Model is an example of a deep turn-based strategy game that is not only inspired by the classic Civilization, but is also genuinely accessible to blind and visually impaired players.

You begin your civilization’s journey in 4000 BC—with a small tribe, basic technologies, and an unexplored world. Step by step, you found cities, research sciences, develop resources, and engage in warfare or diplomatic negotiations. Your empire moves through the ages, from antiquity to a high-tech future and the space era. There is no predefined storyline here—the history is shaped entirely by your decisions.

The gameplay follows the classic 4X strategy formula:

• eXplore — discovering the map and the surrounding world;
• eXpand — expanding territory and developing cities;
• eXploit — managing the economy, production, and science;
• eXterminate — military conflict and diplomacy with rivals.

All actions are performed in a turn-based format, allowing you to carefully plan your strategy without relying on reaction speed. Victory can be achieved in multiple ways: through scientific superiority, military strength, economic dominance, or survival-focused tactics.

Accessibility and Interface

The technical implementation deserves special attention. BC4000 is fully optimized for use with VoiceOver:

• all interface elements are properly voiced;
• buttons have clear and logical labels;
• menu navigation is convenient and predictable;
• a system iOS selector for quickly finding units and resources on the map is available via a three-finger triple tap.

Thanks to this, the game can be played independently without visual assistance, allowing players to focus on governing a state rather than fighting the interface. This makes BC4000 a truly friendly mobile strategy game for blind users.

The game supports online play, a single-player mode, and a local “hotseat” format. It works equally well for short sessions or thoughtful campaigns spread across several evenings. If you are looking for a large-scale strategy with historical scope and freedom of choice, BC4000 is well worth your attention.
