Famed developer Sid Meier is known for many things, but for many his career can be distilled into one popular franchise - Civilization. While the empire-building/destroying sensation has been available on practically every platform known to man, it looks like Meier is about to bring things to an entirely new level - Facebook.

Meier has officially announced Civilization Network, a completely free-to-play outreach platform built exclusively for Facebook and ready to launch in 2010. Says the creator on the official CivFanatics blog:
"Civilization Network will allow you to join together with your friends to create the world's most powerful, richest, smartest, or just plain coolest civilization. You can coordinate your strategy to win great battles, share your technology to jump ahead of your rivals, lobby your family and friends to form your own government and win vital elections, manage and grow your cities to maximize production and happiness, spy on your enemies, and work with your friends to create the great Wonders of the World. The game will offer everything you enjoy in Civ in a fully persistent environment - you can play as much as you like, whenever you like, and it'll be free to play."
One of the world's most popular games, available for free on one of the world's most popular social-networking sites? Sounds good to me, and its a trend we can only hope continues. For more information on Civilization Network and to keep updated, check out the official Facebook page right HERE!
