And we are now at the 19th dev diary for Ara: History Untold.This time the devs talk events. The events will be more important than in Civ4, and more comparable to Old World. They are used for role playing, and to show progression through history. There are also inter-related invents, which build upon each other, really telling a story.
Unrelated to this last dev diary, there was also another Q&A recently, and we know in the meantime all the leaders. For more info please check this thread.
Firaxis has published the next “Challenge Of The Month” for Civ6, and you actually get four challenges: You can play this game as Joao III or as Matthias Corvinus, on Prince or Emperor level. You start on a large map in the Renaissance era, with marathon speed and a 200 turns limit. The resources are abundant, but not on your continent, but only in the new world. You have until July 16 to conquer this new world! For more information please check this thread.
The next update for Millennia has been published! This will be the last update before the summer, but after the summer you will get another one, and the next DLC is also planned for this time! This update includes a raft of balancing changes, interface changes, bug fixes. Have a look at the complete list here.
AI Survivor is an annual competition of all Civilization IV AI Leaders by long-time Civilization enthusiast and streamer Sullla.
In the Game 2 matchup, Justinian of Byzantium returned with a real statement victory by Dominating the field. Justinian again showed why he is such a strong AI leader. Gilgamesh of Sumeria finished second. Cathy of Russia was shown mercy as the only remaining survivor with one tiny ice city.
Game 3 returns after a week off. The week’s contest features three Financial trait heavies: Huayna Capac of Inca, Hannibal of Carthage, and Willem of the Dutch. Huayna Capac is one of the strongest leaders in AI Survivor and is generally considered the best among players. Also of note, we have the ever-aggressive Shaka of the Zulu and the hyper-defensive Sitting Bull of the Native Americans. Will Capac focus too much on Great Wonders?! Will Shaka finally get over the hump and bring WAAAH! like a champ?!! Don’t forget to make your prediction in the picking context.
Sullla’s AI Survivor Season 8 continues Friday, June 21st on Sullla’s Twitch Channel at noon EST.
