Here's some important news for folks who've been waiting for Civilization 7 to get some key changes since it released to mixed reviews. Developer Firaxis has announced that it's brought one of the most high-profile Civ modders (at least in terms of the last couple of entries) on board in an official dev capacity.

If Civilization 7 isn't quite floating your boat yet, don't worry. Every new generation of the mighty Firaxis 4X games feels like it takes some time to settle. There are balancing issues to sort, tweaks to be made, and it's tough to compare a newly launched game with its previous installment, now polished to perfection and with a full complement of DLC. The natural conclusion, then, is that now is the best time to buy Civilization 6 - and that thought would be correct, because if you're quick you can get its complete Anthology edition at a massive 91% discount on Steam.

If your time with foundational PC strategy 4X game series Sid Meier's Civilization consists of exactly one save file that ended somewhere in the Middle Ages, don't beat yourself up, for you have plenty of company. When they got hold of detailed audience data for Civilization 6, Firaxis creative director Ed Beach and executive producer Dennis Shirk were dismayed to discover that fewer than 40% of their players ever finish a single game. Hence, to some degree, Sid Meier's Civilization VII's new Age system, which is designed to counter feelings of exhaustion by smashing the chronology up into more digestible chunks, with something of a Civ power level reset between Ages to stop you feeling like you're either hopelessly behind or so far ahead that ultimate victory is guaranteed.
