The next Civ7 live stream will be happening on Thursday September 12, at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET/7 PM CEST. We will be getting some anitquity gameplay, and we get to see the first age transition, so this will probably answer some questions regarding Civ switching. Follow the discussion here.
After all the other Civ GOTMs, you are also getting one for Civ4! This time you play as Frederick of Germany on a standard size great plains map on Deity level. There are no barbarians, goody huts or random events. For the people who would prefer a more relaxed game, there is also the adventurer version on Emperor, although the AI starts with the deity starting units. You have until September 30 to tackle this challenge. For all information please check this thread.

The Civilization 5 “Hall Of Fame” is an ongoing competition, to gain the highest rank among all civ-fanatics for the various difficulty levels, map settings, etc. While you are always free to submit your latest wins, we also sometimes give you new challenges, the gauntlets. It is again the time for them, so we get 2 new challenges for you:
For the G-Major CXLVII we are challenging you to win a Diplomacy victory (with all others enabled) as Augusts of Rome on a small highlands map on quick speed and King difficulty. You have free choice of opponents. The deadline is September 30. For all info please check this thread.
For the G-Minor CCXX we are challenging you to win a Domination victory (with all others enabled) as Theodora of Byzantium on a tiny large islands map on epic speed and chieftain difficulty. Among your opponents must be Carthage and Polynesia. The deadline is also here September 30. For all the info please check the related thread here.
We are trying our best to be at all the places where Civ fans are, so now we have decided to also add an Whatsapp channel to our repertoire.
Whatsapp channels are essentially giant groups, where only the admins can write, and other users can react to the messages.
We will be using this Whatsapp channel to post the news items, which we also put on social media.
So if you want to have the latest Civ news straight to your phone, then join the Whatsapp channel.
The channel link: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vaj7i2o8KMqspPxi7U27
To note: In a Whatsapp channel everyone is anonymous. Nobody can see another phone number, also not admins or owners, unless you have the phone number independently in your phone book already.
If you want to discuss the whatsapp channel with us, then check this thread.
