Civ7 Patch 1.2.2 now available on Switch!
Civ7 patch 1.2.2 has arrived
Today is the day of the big update! With patch 1.2.2 for Civ7 we get a lot of new things! Most importantly this includes bigger maps, new advanced start options, the Steam workshop (we still hope that our thriving modding community stays here), the possibility to disable many of the options, and a LOT more. Have a look at the discussion here.
Ara: History Untold – Patch 1.4 and Untold Scenarios DLC
Two big updates today for Ara!
The first one is the latest patch, v1.4. It comes with a wide range of improvements, such as better maps, better close-up views, AI improvements and a lot more things. You can check the whole list in this thread.
The second update is that the DLC “Untold Scenarios” is now available.
This DLC comes with 8 scenarions, historic and hypothetical.
Some of these contain scenario specific units and techs, making them a bit more like mods than scenarios.
On the historical side you can fight off the Mongol Invasion, or expand the Americas to the west. On the fictional side you have an island scenario or a scenario where Rome fights against China.
This DLC costs 9.99 and is available here. You can discuss this DLC with us here.
AlphaCentauri2.info back online
One of the other fan sites dear to us, AlphaCentauri2.info, had been offline for a month, due to technical difficulties. It seems that the admin BustersUncle has been able to restore everything necessary, and the site is back online. So if you feel like posting a bit about Alpha Centauri, then head over there, AlphaCentauri2.info, and leave your thoughts in a thread.
In case other issues appear, then check the AC2 status thread here.

Play the new Civ4 “Game Of The Month” #291
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.
