Since a few days the new “Game Of The Month” for Civ4 is again available. This time you have to play as Louis XIV of France on a tropical standard size Custom Continents map on Prince level. There are a bunch of custom modifications, like resource replacements which lead to some resources missing, and you’re permanently allied to the HRE, but it’s a minor civ and you can’t talk to it. For all the details please check this thread, and submit your game at latest June 30.

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.
