In a big surprise move, Aspyr has announced another update for Civ6 on Android.
According to the announcement this will include the following:
This announcement has been posted on Twitter here, and you can discuss it with us here.
After Mark Zuckerberg, another famous fan stepped into the spotlight: Highly acclaimed fantasy author Brandon Sanderson has apparently played the whole series from the first version on (except Alpha Centauri), and has now made a video talking about Civ7. Obviously he talkes about the “one more turn” effect, that he doesn’t like ICS and prefers the science victory. For Civ7 specifically, he likes in principle the age transition, but he’s still only finished one, and he feels a bit like some of the fans, that he doesn’t connect that well with his civ. In contrast to most of the fanbase he actually seems to also dislike the performance of the narrator Gwendoline Christie! He likes the diplomacy and the city states, and he has obviously a lot more opinions, so watch the video. For the discussion, please join us here.
Firaxis rolled out a surprise Civ7 update today. This update includes a new Pangaea Plus map type, a leader re-balancing, an increased MP player limit, bug fixes, AI improvements and a pretty long list of more things. For an overview and the discussion please check here.
As each month, we present you a new challenge for Civ6: In this “Game Of The Month” you play as Wilfred of Canada on standard size Pangaea map on Prince level. You get abundant resources, but with a cold climate, a disaster intensity of 2 and high sea levels. You also must win this game with a Culture or Diplomatic victory, the others will not count! You have until July 1 to finish this challenge and to submit your final savegame. For more information please check here.

The discount also applies to all DLC and the whole bundle (basegame + all 6 DLC), which you can get for 24.73.

The second part is that the next Beta for Humankind, the Dante Beta, is now available.
Details of this update include that military units will be consuming food and related adjustments, a new persona (surprise: Dante), and challenges have now been disabled (after they were granted to everyone), due to technical glitches in them.

The developers of Ara posted a new update on Steam, writing about the next patch, which is scheduled for June 18. They plan to address 6 points in total, among them UI, AI, map generation and more.
In this update they specifically write about the UI, and that they plan to make all interactions possible via the main map, in contrast to e.g. the city screen.
