The game ZEPHON looks like another rather interesting scifi ‘Civ like’ 4X turn based strategy game on the way due to for release in 2024. It’s being created by Proxy Studios who made the popular ‘Civ like’ Warhammer 40K: Gladius and Pandora: First Contact games and similar to those games you start out on different alien planets giving it a bit of a cool Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri & Civilization Beyond Earth feel, and perhaps a bit of a Age of Wonders Planetfall feel too. These worlds are apparently filled with “eldritch horrors and cyberpunk monstrosities” which sounds fun, and there’s already a playable demo out too.

Most people here will have heard of FreeCiv, a freely available game inspired by Civ2.
But did you know there is another longstanding game with the same inspiration?
Meet C-Evo!
C-Evo has been in development since the times of Windows 95, mostly being a single person project. It aims to improve and fix mistakes from Civ2, and not to overhaul the game. It aims at a slim rule set, and the AI is made to win, not to roleplay.
As you can see from the screenshots it really has a Civ2 feeling too!

Civ-Evo is currently available for Windows and Linux, in English, Russian, Italian, Czech, German, and simplified and traditional Chinese.
You can download the current version here, and read more info about it here. And obviously we also have a thread for it here.
