Today we got the next #Civ7 patch, 1.3.2. It seems our last announcement was wrong though, as the very big changes will only be coming in the future. In this patch you get nested tooltips, a new appeal lense, together with a range of minor fixes for the AI and UI, as well as civ re-balancing.

Also interesting is that you got your free Gilgamesh! He is diplomatic and militaristic, but his special ability gives him access to all endeavours.

You can read the patch notes here https://civilization.2k.com/civ-vii/game-update-notes/ , discuss them with us here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/civilization-vii-update-1-3-2-february-3-2026.701963/ , or discuss the new Gilga here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/leader-discussion-gilgamesh.701967/ .

Just got the hang of #Civ VII and now we get some major changes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYry-kvC8u4

Sara surprised us today by announcing that the next patch for #Civ7 will be released tomorrow, and oh my, it is a big one!

In this patch, you will be getting the option to play the whole game as one civ, which many people had requested before. Going together with it, the victory conditions are also getting a rework to fit better with the new ideas. Legacy paths also get reworked into a new concept called "Triumphs". And as the last news: You are also getting a free Gilgamesh, every Civ6 player will be delighted!

We have already heard a lot about Firaxis has worked with the Shawnee, and we've also gotten interesting insights from Firaxis chief historian, but now PCGamer has published an interesting article about another new addition in #Civ7 : Sayyida al-Hurra. In the article PCGamer writes about how Firaxis stumbled upon her by accident due to academic research by a professor, and how he as recruited for further consultancy. The legacy of Sayyida al-Hurra is impressive, but not well known, and the article also writes about how she came to power, was beloved by the people, and how her reign came to an end. You can read the article here https://www.pcgamer.com/games/strategy/moroccan-pirate-queen-sayyida-al-hurra-was-largely-omitted-from-history-books-but-now-shes-in-civilization-7-thanks-to-a-professors-curiosity-and-years-of-research/ , and discuss it with us here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/firaxis-research-into-sayyida-al-hurra-pc-gamer.701941/ .

A bit belated, but 1.19.20 has been released. Overall this is a fairly quiet release, but most notable is that several scenarios in Eastern Invasion have had weather effects added and the Rail terrain now has additional sprites when going over water and chasm.

As usual, for more details see https://r.wesnoth.org/t60430

yay the Folk Emerging demo is #7 in the New & Trending demos list on Steam!

thanks to everyone that played it and is currently playing it! i love seeing folks enjoy the game and i'm paying close attention to everyone's feedback
