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.

GamingOnLinux has published an article called “Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri gets an in-development open source remake“. This article is about an ongoing remake of Alpha Centauri, you can also follow its development here in our forum.
