The Sid Meier HumbleBundle is again available! If you pay just β¬15,46, you get the full versions of Civ3-6, and also a 40% discount for Civ7. You get also a few more titles like Sid Meier's Railroads or Pirates. As usual with the HumbleBundle, you can also direct some parts of your payment (and more than the minimum is encouragemed) to a charity, this time the additional money would go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help battle Parkison.
Get the bundle here https://www.humblebundle.com/games/best-of-humble-bundle-sid-meier-collection , and discuss it with us here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/civilization-on-humble-bundle.701811/ .
The new year has just started, and in case you are already feeling the urge to play another round of Civ3, then we got exactly the right thing for you: The new "Game Of The Month" for #Civ3 is available!
For Civ3 with the addon "Play The World" we got the GOTM 201, where you play as the Zulu on a normal size pangaea map on regent level. As special rule you have that your starting Impis do not have any upkeep, but your opponents are technically advanced. If you feel like this could be a challenge, then get your starting savegame here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/gotm-201-zulu-regent.701202/ , and submit a winning game until March 31!
For the addon "Conquests" we got the GOTM 174, where you play as the Aztecs on a standard size warm continents map with 60% water on deity level. You can get the starting savegame here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/cotm-174-aztec-deity.701192/ , and submission deadline is also March 31.

5 years ago for Civ1s 30th anniversary we posted Blake's video here about how to play it in HD with the best mods & scenarios and now as we close in on Sid Meier's Civilization II 30th anniversary the time has come to do the same for Civ2. In the intervening years Blake has painstakingly searched, rescued & preserved several thousand Civ2 scenarios made over the last 3 decades and is now showcasing many of the best total conversion ones in this video. Thereβs also previews on some crazy new mods of Blake's that change nearly everything in Civ2 to look like Heroes of Might & Magic, Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Dune, and Alpha Centauri to name a few. Eventually heβll be doing episodes on playing Colonization, Master of Magic, Alpha C, CtP and Civ3-4-etc in HD too but thatβll be a few more years work. Curious?

We recently posted about Blake's new #Civ3 preservation project continuing the work from his old #Civ2 preservation project which went on to preserve several thousand lost Civ2 mods & scenarios. Now he's kicked off a new #Civ4 & Civ4-Colonization scenario/mods preservation project starting with 3 large collections totaling around 9 Gigabytes. If you're a fan of Civ4 and its mods then we encourage you to grab copies for yourselves and if you happen to have your own large collection of Civ4 mods & scenarios you'd be willing to donate then please let us know here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/civ4-civ4col-scenario-mod-preservation-project-log.700754/ .

Time flies, when you're playing civ, and the same applies when you are browsing the forums! Today is one of the days which can be considered the birthday of Civfanatics, and we turn 25, which is in the age of the internet nearly biblical. For this occasion we have written a retrospective, which hopefully includes the most interesting things about the forums. This starts from our timeline, the stats, our best content, the notable projects the community has created, from mods to podcasts, the weirdest things the mods have never told anyone, and other things you might not know.

@timixretroplays I sadly had a different version, which was less epic.
The #Civ3 box is also pretty nice. The #Civ4 has more of what you criticize, but still some epic-ness.
The just mentioned #Civ7 sale goes together with the 4X Fest https://store.steampowered.com/category/4x_strategy , and the other Civ titles are also on sale.
