Hunter's comment

Sid Meier's Civilization V is an excellent 4X turn based strategy game. It allows you to play as one of the 43 civilizations (you can check the wiki here to see a full list of them) and build your empire starting from Ancient Era, 4000BC.

In Civilization V you can:

Conquer the world playing as Gandhi
Pay back a certain country for their war crimes
Explore the world
Expand your cities
Force others to follow your religion

and much more.

Civilization V is made interesting by the fact that there are many ways to victory - you can achieve triumph either through domination, science, diplomacy, or culture.

Even though the game contains many different playable nations, most of them play quite differently - while playing Portugal one might preffer to utilize its naval trade routes, yet while playing the Huns one might want to dominate his opponents as quickly as possible.

Although Civilization V has few years now, its constantly modified by the players - Vox Populi being the most popular mod.
