The new DLC “Atomic Ambitions” for Millennia is now available.
It adds an atomic age, as an alternative age similar to the Fallout settings, and also a wasteland age, which is a postapocalyptic age.
Oh, and there are nukes.
The DLC is currently available for 19.99 on Steam, and you can discuss it with us here.
Paradox recently also released another dev diary about this DLC, please see here.
Civ VI Monthly Challenge: King of the Wonder
Firaxis has released the next Civ6 Challenge of the Month! It is called King of the Wonder, but if you wonder if you need to build lots of wonders, then you might wonder wrongly! In this game you play as Theodore Roosevelt of America, and you must defend the Bermuda Triangle. The game has standard settings (besides the map, which is custom), and can be played on Prince of Emperor level. Check our thread here for the discussion.
New Civ7 game guide: Ming China
We got another Civ7 game guide today from Firaxis, this time it is Ming China. The Ming are an economic and scientific civ with a starting bias for coast and silk. They get more gold in the capital, another version of the great wall also giving more gold, and their UU is a merchant which will, as you can guess, also give more gold. For more information about this civ, and if you want to know how Yongle is this time featured, check out this thread.
Amplitude Goes Independent
Amplitude, the studio behind Humankind, has announced last weekend that they will become an independent studio, not anymore affiliated with SEGA. The owners apparently bought the company back, and will probably be looking for another interesting project. Join us to discuss this here.

Message From the Liegecraft team to Civfanatics:

New indie game release: Zephon
Zephon is a turn-based 4X game, which it makes it interesting for us, although all similarities to Civ already end at this place. The setting is a post-apocalyptic, Warhammer-40k inspired world with monstrous abominations, where your faction is fighting for survival. It seems to have all the 4X traits you need, such as diplomacy, city management and tech trees. If you’re looking for some non-historic game until Civ7 is released, then this might be a good candidate. Zephon is available for 39.99 on Steam. If you want to discuss this game with us, then join us in our thread here.
Next Civ7 civ soundtracks available
Firaxis released today 4 more civ soundtracks, this time for Mongolia, Persia, the Abbasids and Spain! Check out our soundtrack thread here.
