And more interesting things are happening in Civ7!

We are now running our first “Game Of The Month” (GOTM). The GOTM is a competition where we, as a community, start with the same savegame, and try to make the very best out of it. We don’t only try to beat the game, but also we try to beat every other civfanatic! For this first game there is no specific goal yet. We want you to play this savegame and submit it at the end of Antiquity before March 15. Then we want to compare the games, and see what could make sense for a competition. If you want to know more about the GOTM and downoad the savegame, then please check here.

The second important info of the day is an article from IGN. There had been some controversy about the omission of Gandhi, but this might get rectified! Discuss with us here.

And as last bit, Amplitude, the creators of Humankind who first tried changing civilizations in a 4X game, have reacted to the release of Civ7. You want to know how? Check here.

We have again a bunch of things about Civ7 to share!

Tomorrow on February 11 there will be launch day stream. The devs will be discussing the latest feedback, will answer community questions and more. Oh, and they want you to pick a civ and leader for this stream. Please check here.

The first real patch after the launch is now also available, patch 1.0.2. The patch fixes the issue that longer game speeds were over too fast, fixed various bugs in naval combat and some of the UI problems. For the full list see here.

From the modding side, we got bigger maps in the meantime, although these apparently are not in because Firaxis (as well as the modders) noticed that they cause some graphics glitches. In case this does not deter you, you can also try the first version of a “True Starting Locations” (TLS) world map here. There are also more small mods available, check the forum here.

And as last tidbit of the day: Will Firaxis add the legendary queen Zenobia to the game? We guess so.
