Missed the opportunity to put a golden watch on that picture.

For the mods at least, the dev interview at PAX clearly had a moment when one guy said "the possibilities of combination with civilizations switching is going to be higher, especially with the modding community adding custom civs.

But since they said a huge part of the playerbase is console, I'm guessing mods won't be using the steam workshop but the launcher so that consoles can have mods...

As for Linux support yeah I would like to hope, maybe the stats of Civ6 on the steamdeck could push them to make it compatible but if they have denuvo I doubt it...

The USSR (then Russia) did this in the 90s, first prototype was a 20m wide reflector. Second prototype failed and then interest and money went away. Originally it was meant to also test solar sails feasibility.

If you have Nebula, Mustard did a 10mn documentary on it.

Also noted :

  • Navigable rivers
  • terrain has cliffs
  • armies seems to be condensed, with generals leading them. Fighting looks to be constant in some way? (or that's just the render for the trailer)
  • cities seem to expand much more
  • the leaders looks to have some stats which can be improved

Literally how I play chess, can't be bothered to do math and just doing gut feeling... I think we need an full rules revamp for chess!

I still enjoy a game of Planetary Annihilation every other time, might not float your boat if you're looking for a much more classic RTS. But smashing moons to the enemy's base has never felt so awesome.

Unsurprisingly, it's the release order, which makes a lot of sense. They could at least have put that order in the 1.5 HD remaster (:

Can they add an option to show roads with more twist for us riding a motorbike? I'd love to road trip without having to look too closely at the map for nice roads.
