PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production recording live every other Saturday at 12 Noon US Eastern Time throughout the year, in an ongoing effort to give the Civilization community an interactive voice; sibling show ModCast focuses on Civ modding.
We are releasing this episode for streaming earlier than usual (the day after the recording, woohoo!) due to the timely nature of its content. We’d hate to release it next weekend and have everyone listening to our speculation after the first DLC is released and then sound silly in how wrong we are about everything. Enjoy! We look forward to reading your speculation and responses!
The first pack in Civilization VI’s New Frontier Pass includes the Maya, led by Lady Six Sky. Discuss the Maya in the forums here.
The New Frontier Pass will be available to purchase on May 21.
