PCGamesN has also released an article covering Hexarchy, called “Civilization and Slay the Spire collide in 4X deck builder on Steam”. The article talks about that Hexarchy is a light-weight game which can be played in less than 1h, that a lot of balancing has gone in the tech tree, and, shocking for veteran civ players, that there are only 10 civs to choose from.
Read the article here, and discuss it with us here.

Check out “Power of Planets – Earth”
As we know, the civ community is very creative, shown by the countless mods for all the Civ games we have. Another civ fan has set out for something completely different: A MMO version of FreeCiv! In “Power Of Planets” you play as one of many players in a quasi-real time environment. You start with a couple of units on a continent, totally civ-style, but all your opponents are humans, and units are not moved turn-based, but they get a count-down after their movemenets are exhausted until the are recharged.
You can download the game for Windows, Linux and Android here, or start an online version in the browser.
