Many Civ7 news today!

As first item, we now got an official first look for Augustus. As traits he is cultural and expansionist. He gets production in the capital for every town, cheaper purchases in every town, and better relationship with his own towns, but worse with the towns of every others. He does not have a starting biases. Check this thread for the discussion.

We got also a first close-up look for the Oracle, with all the graphical steps for its construction. Check the video here.

We recently also got the first dev diary!
