The information for the next Tacticon is out!
The Tacticon is an online strategy convention, which features talks (about e.g. the Art Of War), streams, new demos for interesting strategy titles, and also sales.
This year 100+ titles will be present, including Endless Dungeon, and many others.
The sale will include interesting titles like Timberborn, Lords of Rigel, Terra Invicta, the Wandering Village, and also again many more.
Tacticon is organized by FireSquidGames and HoodedHorse, who also published Old World (so we do expect Soren Johnson to be present too).
You can find the Tacticon press release here, the website here, and the steam event (which will list the sales) here. You can also obviously discuss the Tacticon with us in our forum here.
Here at CivFanatics we have the long tradition of the “Hall Of Fame”: You can submit us your played savegames, and if you make a high score in a certain category, you will be listed in our “Hall Of Fame” (certain rules apply though).
The team has now put together 2 new challenges, for you to master: The G-Major CXXXIII and the G-Minor CCVI.
The G-Major CXXXIII requires you to play with the BNW expansion. We are looking for a game on a tiny map with tilted axis on Emperor level as Siam on epic speed, with a cultural victory. For more information please see here.
The G-Minor CCVI also requires BNW. We are looking for a game on a small inland sea map on quick speed on King level as Babylon. This time we want to have a diplomatic victory. For more information please see here.
