CIVILIZATION Celebrates Black History Month
Hey, Civ fans!
February is Black History Month in the United States and Canada, a celebration of contributions from the African diaspora to culture, society, and history. In recognition of the month, our team is paying tribute to Civ’s Black leaders and their lasting marks on the world.
This incredible artwork from Emmy award-winning artist Teddy Wright IV captures each of our five leaders in all their greatness:
Mvemba a Nzinga: The Apostle of Kongo brought faith, wisdom, and sweeping prosperity to his growing kingdom.
Menelik II: The defender of Ethiopia modernized his empire, forging stability and identity across the African highlands.
Amanitore: The last great builder of Nubia, Queen Amanitore fortified the Land of the Bow through her extensive restoration projects.
Mansa Musa: The great king is among the richest people to ever live. Mansa Musa used his incredible wealth to transform the Mali Empire into a center for education, artistry, and commerce.
Shaka: The mighty Zulu king transformed his military into a fierce group of warriors, and his kingdom into a formidable empire.

Civ creator warns industry to "focus on gameplay", not monetisation
It's been over five years since the release of Civilization VI, and over 30 years since the first entry in the great 4X game series came out. In a new interview, Civilization's legendary creator Sid Meier warns the game industry to be more focused on gameplay as opposed to monetisation.
Civilization is one of the greatest turn-based strategy games on PC and it hit its 30th anniversary in September last year. To celebrate, the BBC spoke with creator Sid Meier - who's been making games for far longer than that - about how the games industry has changed and what publishers and developers need to be focusing on.
"The real challenge and the real opportunity is keeping our focus on gameplay," Sid Meier says. "When we forget that, and decide it's monetisation or other things that are not gameplay-focused... when we start to forget about making great games and start thinking about games as a vehicle or an opportunity for something else, that's when we stray a little bit further from the path."
