[url=http://thepolycast.net/polycast]PolyCast[/url] is a bi-weekly audio production in an ongoing effort to give the [i]Civ[/i] community an interactive voice on game strategy; the tenth edition of Evergreen, a side series on selected moments and topics that best represent the show, is set to be released in one week’s time. Fellow sibling shows also in production presently are [url=http://thepolycast.net/modcast][u]ModCast[/u][/url] on [i]Civ[/i] modding and [url=http://thepolycast.net/turncast][u]TurnCast[/u][/url] on [i]Civ[/i] multiplay.

Episode recording frequency? Balance of [i]Civilization V[/i], [i]VI[/i] and [i]Civ[/i] series in general coverage? Favourite regular co-host? These are a few of the ten questions being asked of the 2016 [url=http://thepolycast.net/polycast]PolyCast[/url] (PC) audience as its [url=http://thepolycast.net/polycast/season10.php]tenth season[/url] nears its conclusion.
