The next CivTember anniversary stream will be this Thursday, September 21 at 10 AM PT/1 PM CET, and will feature 4 streamers, of which 3 are definitely well-known among the civ-fanatics, Boesthius, PaisleyTrees, SassyGamerLady and Tealful, and is hosted by TheCivShow. This time the stream is called “The Industry Challenge”, so we can expect some interesting late game.
As we know, the civ community is very creative, shown by the countless mods for all the Civ games we have. Another civ fan has set out for something completely different: A MMO version of FreeCiv! In “Power Of Planets” you play as one of many players in a quasi-real time environment. You start with a couple of units on a continent, totally civ-style, but all your opponents are humans, and units are not moved turn-based, but they get a count-down after their movemenets are exhausted until the are recharged.
You can download the game for Windows, Linux and Android here, or start an online version in the browser.
Discuss “Power Of Planets – Earth” with us here.
And also for Civ6 you get another mid-month “GOTM”! You play as Tokugawa on a standard-size pangaea map on Deity level. You only get sparse resources, which you need to use to achieve a diplomatic or cultural victory. You have until October 16 to unify the planet.
For all details please see this thread.
Paradox Games, the publisher of many great 4X games like Europa Universalis, Victoria or Crusader Kings, will be announcing another 4X game on September 21. Right now nothing is known about it, besides that an image definitely indicates that it starts in the stone age. Will this be a civ competitor? A stone age game? Something else? In a few days we will know more!
Join us for the discussion here.
And we continue our often more-than-monthly GOTM series for Civ5! The team has this time created a new game for you, in which you play the Inca on Immortal level on a standard size frontier map. You need to win via a science victory, and prevent all other civs from achieving another victory. You have until October 15 to go where no Inca has gone before.
For more details please see this thread.
