Sid Meier has mostly been a PC game developer and creator but recently he and his team at Firaxis Games have been moving into different platforms such as the recent console game Civilization Revolution. Now Meier has announced plans to enter the social networking game business with a game called Civilization Network on Facebook.

The game has already launched a fan page with a message from Meier who states that the game will "allow you to join together with your friends to create the world's most powerful, richest, smartest, or just plain coolest civilization." The game will be free to play and will launch a closed beta test "soon". The full game will launch sometime in 2010.
