We are a bit early this time, and the Civ6 “Game Of The Month” for February is already available. This time you’re tasked with playing Alexander of Macedonia on a hot standard size Terra map with high sea level. You get abundant resources and a legendary start, but you must tackle a domination or religious victory on Deity level. As usual you got (a bit more than) 1 month to finish this game (March 1). For more info please check the thread here.
As the title says: The Humankind base game is currently free to play, for the next 2 days (end of weekend, I assume). In case you then get some craving for it, you can also get it for 85% off until January 30, for only 7.49! Get it/play it here.
At the same time the Cultures of Latin America pack is completely free until January 30 as well. Get it here. Do you want to discuss this deal with us? Then discuss with us here.
At the same time Amplitude has also released today another update, only in beta form, not final yet, meaning you need to change your settings on Steam if you want to try it.
This update mostly addresses balancing issues with surrender and war support. You can check the list of changes here.
Civ7 is coming, and we cannot wait! We thought it would be a nice idea to give some copies of the Civ7 founder edition to the community, and at the same time Firaxis had the idea to sponsor us a few, therefore we have now 3 contests running for you!
In all cases the deadline is January 31, and winners will be announced on February 3. Good luck to everyone :).
Today Firaxis has officially revealed another leader to us, Jose Rizal. He is cultural and diplomatic leader with a starting bias for tropical tiles. He gains additional gold and culture from events, and has a positive attitude to other rather diplomatic leaders. For more info check the thread here.
Firaxis has also announced the Civ World Summit on February 8, a few days before the official release (and after the early release). 5 known players of the community will be playing an MP match in Civ7 to battle for civ-domination, and this will be also hosted by the well-known streamer PotatoMcWhiskey. The stream will be happening on February 8 at 5PM CET / 8 AM PT / 11AM ET on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook.
