The Civ5 GOTM team is making you a small Christmas present, in form of a Civ meme! For this GOTM you play as Gandhi on a small oval map on Deity level, and you must win via a Domination victory (Nukes optional). You also start with some guided missiles, just for fun. If you want to tackle this challenge, then check this thread and send in your game until January 25!
The Civ team has just posted their holiday greetings on Twitter, and they can also be found on the Civ website.
A very nice drawing, as last year, although it allows less speculations for the next title. If you still want to speculate, then join us here.
Various games have gone on sale for Christmas, as every year.
The most important ones:
More titles are obviously discounted, have a look for your favourite Total War, Paradox or Galactic Civilizations titles too ;). For a discussion on the sales and updates please check this thread.
For the Civ4 Christmas GOTM you play a slightly changed Bouddicca…er… Ms. Klaus, of the Celts. You play on a cylindrical Christmas Tree map against 8 AIs on deity level. You have until January 15 to bring presents or destruction to everyone. For more details, please check this thread.
And we are now at the 13th dev diary for Ara: History Untold.
In this episode the devs talk about the insider program of Ara, and explain what it is, which probably nobody here really surprises at the end ;). More interestingly in our thread there is now also a discussion about the civs and leaders in Ara, and some non-standard choices like the Abbasid caliphate over an Arab civ, or the Holy Roman Empire over a German civ.
Check it out, and discuss it with us here.
And from the Civ5 GOTM you also get a Christmas present! This time you play as Pedro II of Brazil on a standard size pangaea map on Immortal level. You need to win via culture victory, and prevent any other civ from achieving another victory. You have time until January 15 for this GOTM! Fore more info please check here.
Other than the occasional tinkering with the Apolyton Edition of Call To Power 2 there’s not many CTP fan projects still going these days. However long time Civ community member Kull has been working over the last year or so on making the popular Cradle 3+ mods compatible with the Apolyton Edition of CTP2 while also making a huge amount of bug fixes, new gameplay improvements and even new custom terrain/city/unit graphics & animations. Recently he’s been posting about adding new custom wonders that appear on the surrounding city map titles (Civ6 style). There’s no playable release yet but any lurking CTP fans can find more links, pictures & info here.
New (mid-)month, new Civ6 game, just in time for the Christmas holidays! This time you play as Gorgo of Greece on a standard size pangaea map with low sea level and low resources on Emperor level. You also get some disasters and corporations, and you need to win via a culture or diplomatic victory. You can take this challenge until January 15! For more information please check this thread.
