And we’re still going strong on celebrating Civ’s past! Especially our user Blake00 has been extremely active, and has undertaken a massive project: He’s hunting through the net, our threads, and everywhere else possible to preserve all the great Civ2 mods, and make them available again. He has already uploaded more than 200 Civ2 mods from all the modders of the past, some thought to have been lost, some re-organized from the Scenario League. There is a great selection out there, you can find the whole overview here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/civ2-mge-tot-scenario-mod-preservation-project-log-231-processed-5-collections.671035/

To highlight a few:

As you can see, there is something for everyone, and this is only a very small selection of the more than 200 recently re-added mods. So if you feel like firing up Civ2 over Christmas… it’s definitely the right time.

Our moderator bite, also known as Brian MacNamara or TL;DR Reviews, has created another overview map. After recently creating the ultimate Civ6 map, he has now created the absolutely ultimate Civ map overview with every feature of every Civilization title. He has multiple regional maps (you can see the one for Mesopotamia), as well as a full world map with all cities on it. If you want to know simply everything, check out his overviews here:

TheCivGive2021 raises $42 000 for children’s hospitals, 2K will match $25 000

In an exciting stream yesterday the streamers involved in TheCivGive2021 managed to raise in total more than $42 000 for children’s hospitals, supporting the ExtraLife foundation. This included more than one private donation of over $2000! The 2K foundation had also pledged to match up to $25 000, which was reached way before the stream reached its middle. This means in total this fundraiser has raised $67 000! Without the 2K donations this puts TheCivGive2021 in the 27th place of all teams, and with the 2K donation it will be the 17th place!

This stream saw complicated diplomacy, guest appearances by the developers, and the hosts and Kevin eating too many hot wings. You can watch the streams, which are undoubtly one of the most important Civ events this year, again on everyone’s Twitch channel, which would be the following:

So we need to raise less than $7000, so donate now, and support a good cause!
