Our user Rac made this great overview over all the civs, which we know so far, or very likely assume. We know the base game has 30 civs, plus Shawnee as DLC. We do not have a good idea yet about what civs will be in the 2 DLC packs, but obviously we are speculating, see this thread. Let us know if we did not see any evidence yet, and otherwise speculate with us!
Ara: History Untold gots its first update! This update includes Jonn Mcdonald as leader for Canada, a new overview screen to see your whole economy, a new advisor system to get you easier into the game, a battle viewer, and many more things. Read the whole list here. EDIT: Sorry for the confusion, this update is NOT yet live, but will only come in November.
Ara seems to also allow easy modding. We have created a section in our download database for Ara, and the official modding guide is also available in the forum here.
Also today we got more fresh Civ7 info! This time we got more info for the medieval Indian Chola empire, a new exploration age civ. The Cholas are economic and diplomatic, they get 3 unique infrastructures, and with their coastal and tropical starting bias, together with their unique abilities, they are destined to be traders in Civ7. For more info, such as their unique wonder or units, please check this thread.
We also got more infor about the second persona for Ashoka, World conqueror, which is part of the founders content DLC pack. In contrast to the World renouncer persona, the conqueror is militaristic instead of expansionist. He will also get more production instead of happiness, and a combat strength bonus. For both personas please see this thread.
The video about Ashoka also seems to have revealed the Persians as an antiquity civ. For the speculations please check this thread.
Firaxis has again published the next “Challenge Of The Month” for Civ6, called “Cleopatra, Lich Queen of the Nile”. In this challenge you play as Cleopatra, but with a twist: You are essentially playing the zombies in the zombie mode. You can only build warriors, but these can convert barbarians. This challenge is played on a standard size pangaea map with sparse resources, and you can pick between Prince and Emperor difficulty. The deadline is November 13. For all the info please check in this thread.
We got a another first look, this time on Trưng Trắc. She is militaristic and scientific, has a starting bias for vegetated and tropical tiles. She gets a bonus for her first commander, and dislikes other players with highly decorated commanders. To discuss her with us, please check this thread.
We also got some interesting bits from her and other details from the PAX Australia live stream, and you can find our discussion here. From the stream the info comes that we might only have 30 civs in the base game, with 10 per age. Curious? Check here.
Firaxis’s next stream, from the Quokka Theatre in Melbourne, is just starting. Watch it here at https://www.twitch.tv/pax2 .
Then join us in this thread, and check out what our in-person attendees bite and Dale have to say afterwards.
