CivIdle News

First of all, I'd like to say thank you to all the playtesters. With your help, I've been able to iron out most bugs and balancing issues - the game is in a good state now and I feel confident in expanding the available content.

So here's my content plan for upcoming patches. I plan to participate in Steam Fest 2024 (in early Feb). Please keep in mind that the plan can change.

This week's patch notes are a bit shorter - this is because one of them is quite a big item: reborn. The prestige system has been lacking since the Playtest 2, but not any more!
