The other PC exclusive strategy game that's not StarCraft II is Civilization V. The 2K Games published title isn't due for release until September 21 but on that date the turn-based strategy title from Firaxis Games will have its own day in its honor in the state of Maryland. The game's official Facebook page posted an image of the official proclamation from Maryland governor Martin O'Malley calling September 21 as "Sid Meier's Civilization V day". Of course the game's developer Firaxis Games is based in that state and before then the game's original creator Sid Meier set up shop in Maryland at the now defunct Microprose.

This gives us a good excuse to show off Civilization V's final box cover artwork. You can check that out after the jump:
