We picked recently our winners of the birthday contest for Civilization, who all received a copy of Old World sponsored by Mohawk Games, as well as a merchandise package. We now want to use this place to highlight these poems.
The first poem has been submitted by our user topsecret. It definitely captures the Civ atmosphere.
“One day, I discovered a game.
Civilization was its name.
I logged on, and soon I would learn,
All I could say was “one more turn.”
I settled a city, a capital place,
I researched techs with remarkable pace.
Buildings in cities and units on hills,
Great People, Government, Culture, all thrills!
But then I found my neighbor.
He was this Montezuma guy.
Warring was his labor.
His real name was AI.
We fought a long war,
And as I was seated,
Through my cities he tore,
And I read…
YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED.
Just… One… More… Turn.”

After a long time discussing the entries of the birthday contest, our team has finally decided about the best presents our users have given to Civ.
The 3 main prizes, a copy of Old World sponsored by Mohawk Games, as well as a Civ merchandise package, goes to our users topsecret, Hinin and MasterOaks.
The prize for best poetry entry (which was hard to decide upon, since the main winners also submitted poetry), which will receive a Civ4 Deluxe box and a merchandise package as well, goes to Romegypt.
After we had decided on these winners, we have selected in a random draw 3 of the entries, which would receive a Civ version of their liking. The random draw winners are Kyriakos, AntSou and Irealys.
Congratulations to everyone!
The winning poems will be featured this week on the main page and on Twitter, so either stay tuned, or have a look at all entries here: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/civilizations-30th-birthday-contest-give-civ-a-present-get-one-back.672969/

The above video was recently published, mentioend on Twitter, and we think it is very relevant to the Civ-fanatics audience. While it’s a bit early in the year for such a preview, it is certainly worth a watch (despite the annoying issues with the voice-over) if you have time to play anything else besides Civ, Old World and Humankind.
The video includes some well-known upcoming games like Galactic Civilizations 4 or Victoria 3. But other games are also highly interesting, like Revival: Recolonization or Master of Magic. If you’re not yet sure what to play next year, then have a look at this video.
