Our user evonannoredars has put together a timeline of when all the civs and leaders in Civ7 lived or were present. This timeline is a nice overview, and should help us identify urgently needed future content ;). If you want to discuss the timeline, then check out the thread here.
The Hall Of Fame is an ongoing competition for the highest scores in every setting in Civ5. You are always free to send in your highest scoring savegames, but sometimes we give you specific challenges for settings which are underrepresented.
This time we want you to do the following 2 gauntlets:
For the G-Major CLII we challenge you to play as Suleiman of the Ottomans on a small “small continents” map on Emperor level and to win via a domination victory. The deadline for this gauntlet is February 28. For more information please check this thread.
For the G-Minor CCXXV we challenge you to play as Ramessess II of Egypt on a standard size continents map on quick speed with Prince difficulty. You also need to win via diplomacy. The deadline here is also February 28. For more information please check here.
Firaxis has today released a new short, talking about yields and improvements. Civ7 does not have anymore worker units, so you do not improve tiles as in previous civ games. Instead, if you work a tile, it automatically gets improved. If you want to change the yield of an improvement, then you need to build a building with an associated modifier. Want to discuss this? Then join us here.

Firaxis has released too much information today, therefore only a short breakdown of what we have:
GOG has today revelaed its “Dreamlist“, an official list where you can vote which games they should try to acquire and preserve! Our moderator blake00 has already a long time ago started a campaign to bring Civ1 and Civ2 back, and now there is a realistic chance via the Dreamlist!
The fight for the top spot is fierce! On first place we currently have “Black & White” with nearly 60.000 votes. Civ1 and Civ2 are somewhere on page 6 and 7, with 15.000 and nearly 14.000 votes respectively.
Vote here for Civ1, and here for Civ2, and discuss the voting for Civ1 here and for Civ2 here.
The next patch for Ara: History Untold is now available. This is a small patch and mostly includes some balance changes and adjustments of the tech tree. You can discuss this update with us here.
Today we got a Japanese Civ7 update from Firaxis: More information about Meiji era Japan and a first look at Himiko as a leader.
Meiji era Japan is militaristic and scientific with a starting bias for coast and grassland. If you play Meiji, you get science boni from overbuilding old buildings, and a special naval unit which will respawn the first time it is destroyed. For more information please check here.
Himiko gets 2 personas, one from a DLC. The base game persona is diplomatic and scientific, whereas the DLC persona is diplomatic and cultural. Their agendas are the opposite of each other, depending on types of settlements. For more info please check here.
