This past Friday, Nov 17th at 9 PM EST was the 11th CivPlayers League Podcast. Here’s what we talked about in the past  week!

Co-Hosts Sarnith and KingLewie, and guest Co-Host Rolfe bring you this weeks topics.

• Firaxis released a hotfix! Has “Hell” frozen over or could we see more than just a patch for a DLC?

• Defender and Crusader, along with the CC push back have been in affect for awhile now. How do you feel about it now that you’ve seen it in several games?

• Do you think this hotfix is a sign of things to come? Or do you feel that Firaxis is just putting this out to make the majority feel a little better – only as a distraction from the other numerous problems? Let us know – voice your opinions!

• Some say the hotfix hasn’t fixed anything, others say it’s causing numerous crash errors during games. What problems, if any, have you experienced?

• Clan KC is running a Civ 6 Training Event on Tuesday, November 28th at 5PM EST! Come and learn with the community! I know i’ll be there!

• The CPL Challenger Series is approaching! Sign ups open on November 25th at 11 AM EST and the Tournament itself is on December 9th and 10th with matches starting at 11 AM EST.

• Be sure to be active in chat! We do watch and are happy to answer your questions!

• Do you have ideas you’d like to see brought up on the podcast? Make sure to post your thoughts and suggestions in the comment section!t we’re talking about this week!
