Our friend and steamer TheCivShow has organized together with other known Civ streamers (Boesthius, VanBradley, Peppermint_Butler, OnSpotTV, Foybles, 100games100days, and 3 more to be announced) the CivGive2021: It is a charity event to raise money for local Sick Kids hospitals and the Children’s Miracle Network. The goal is to raise $50.000, and the event will culminate with a streamed 10 player FFA of the people on the roster on December 19.

We from CivFanatics have already contributed, and we hope you will to! You can find the donations page here https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.team&teamID=58881 . For some of the streamers you will get some small perks with the donation for the final stream too (besides simply feeling good because you did a good deed ;)).

Civilization’s 30th birthday: Playing Colonization as the Natives

By | November 13, 2021

Our user blake00 has released another video to celebrate the history of Civilization! After he showed us how to play the original Colonization in HD, he has now dug deeper into this classic. He investigated how it would be possible to play as the Natives, which took some long effort to find all the necessary information. At the end it is not as interesting as playing as the Barbarians in Civ, and mostly results in errors, but the video is nevertheless nice to watch for anyone with an interest in the old Sid Meier titles.
