By | January 24, 2025

Civ7 is coming, and we cannot wait! We thought it would be a nice idea to give some copies of the Civ7 founder edition to the community, and at the same time Firaxis had the idea to sponsor us a few, therefore we have now 3 contests running for you!

  • You can enter a contest to create a new banner for the forum, to make us ready for Civ7! Check here.
  • You can enter a contest by telling us your best real life story which is related to Civilization! Check here.
  • And in case you are an established modder at CFC, we will take your proposal for a small mod for Civ7 for you to enter a raffle. Check here.

In all cases the deadline is January 31, and winners will be announced on February 3. Good luck to everyone :).

New indie game release: Yield! Fall Of Rome

By | January 21, 2025

Today another interesting indie game has been released (into early release): “Yield! Fall Of Rome“.
As many games in this forum, also this is a turn-based 4X game set on a hex field.
It covers a time era which is not that common in 4X games, but still very interesting: The time after the fall of Rome.
In this game you play one out of 8 factions (like Persians or Franks) who are invading (or befriending) the Roman Empire after the year 0 AD.
You start with a single settler, and need to research technologies to build up a might army. You win by fulfilling different conditions, like having the most cities, comparable to the game Ozymandias.
Yield! is in general a rather fast paced game which can be won in less than 20 turns, but will for sure evoke the “1 more turn” feeling. It also has a particularly interesting art style, which is very well worth looking at.

If you want to buy this early release, Yield! Fall Of Rome is currently available for 17.99 instead of 19.99 on Steam here. And obviously you can discuss this game with us in the forum here.
