Until February 12 you will be able to try out a free demo of Millennia, the new (semi) historical 4X by Paradox games!
The demo will be single player, and you will be able to play at maximum 60 turns up until the 3rd age. This allows you to explore the age system of Millennia, which allows you get into alternative history, giving overall more interesting options for the game.
You can discuss the demo with us here, and also read more info at ParadoxPlaza.
This time we would like to highlight not a historical game, but more some food for the MoO fans among us: Interstellar Space Genesis.
As with the game we all know, also this one is a turnbased sci-fi 4X in space. It has been out for a while, and in the meantime the 4th DLC is about to be released. The base game includes 6 races with their own special abilities, has a randomized tech tree, planet management, and all the other things you’d expect from such a game. It is also currently discounted by 67% down to 9.23 (Steam, GOG). And you can obviously join us for a discussion here.
And we continue to conquer the year 2024, also in Civ6! For this GOTM you play as Hojo Tokimune on a standard size Archipelago map with high sea level on King level. You get a disaster intensity of 3 together with barbarian clans, and you need to win this game via culture or diplomacy. You have until March 4 to form a great island nation! For more info please check this thread.
The streamer Boesthius has posted a first stream of Millennia, where he easily wins within the demo time which you can try yourself in a few days too.
Writing Bull has also put a video online, but it is in German:
Discuss these previews with us here.
The next Civ5 GOTM is wild! You play as Attila the Hun on a standard size lakes map on King level. Obviously you need to go for domination, and you start with plenty of horses to achieve this! The deadline to submit your finished game is March 1.
For more information please check this thread.
And we are now at the 16th dev diary for Ara: History Untold.
This time the devs talk about gaming the art in the game. They talk about how to choose the style for a game, how to properly represent cultures and how they try to give a customized style for each new play of the game.
Check it out, and discuss it with us here.
