Hey Civ fans, happy holidays! For the final Civ Streams developer livestream of 2024, we're showcasing the last of the three Ages in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII: the Modern Age.

We’ll also be answering your questions live on stream, so tune in to leave your questions for our dev team, and we’ll tackle as many as we can during the stream.

Get Civilization 6 and the entire Sid Meier Collection for just $18

The Civilization games have long been a cornerstone of the turn-based strategy genre. If you've always wanted to try them out, or just want to plug some gaps in your collection, a new Humble Bundle encompasses most of the series. It includes Civilization 3, 4, 5, and 6 (plus DLCs) for only $18 / £13.86 - and some of the profits go towards helping the homeless and research against Parkinson's disease.
