A new G-Major is now also available. This time we want you to play a tiny marathon game on Prince level, playing as not-Inca and going for a space victory (among other restrictions). For more information please see here.
The information for the next Tacticon is out! The Tacticon is an online strategy convention, which features talks (about e.g. the Art Of War), streams, new demos for interesting strategy titles, and also sales. This year 100+ titles will be present, including Endless Dungeon, and many others. The sale will include interesting titles like Timberborn, Lords of Rigel, Terra Invicta, the Wandering Village, and also again many more.
Tacticon is organized by FireSquidGames and HoodedHorse, who also published Old World (so we do expect Soren Johnson to be present too).
Here at CivFanatics we have the long tradition of the “Hall Of Fame”: You can submit us your played savegames, and if you make a high score in a certain category, you will be listed in our “Hall Of Fame” (certain rules apply though).
The team has now put together 2 new challenges, for you to master: The G-Major CXXXIII and the G-Minor CCVI.
The G-Major CXXXIII requires you to play with the BNW expansion. We are looking for a game on a tiny map with tilted axis on Emperor level as Siam on epic speed, with a cultural victory. For more information please see here.
The G-Minor CCVI also requires BNW. We are looking for a game on a small inland sea map on quick speed on King level as Babylon. This time we want to have a diplomatic victory. For more information please see here.
As you know, we like a game called “Civilization”. Sometimes we also like some other games, but even better if they also have a “civ” in it! Recently we stumbled upon the game “PocketCiv“, thanks to their Twitter account. As you can guess from the title, it’s a neat and small civ-like game, staying more in the ancient setting and based on the boardgame of the same name. It’s overall not as big as our beloved Civilization, but more focused. It’s a pocket version, if you like . BMCGames, the devs of PocketCiv, noticed that we noticed them, so they came over to CFC and offered us a few keys to hand out to our members.
We are therefore doing a small raffle, but you need to tell us one thing: We know that you like adding things to Civ, like more nations, leaders, wonders, etc. Now tell us one thing, which you would like to have less of in Civ, and win one out of 3 copies of PocketCiv. Let us know here. The raffle runs for 7 days, afterwards the winners will be determined by a random roll.
Please note that the game is in early access and might still change. Please also note that the guys bribed us with a few steam keys for the CFC staff too.
