Quote of the Moment
The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time.

I have a big announcement to make today: beginning next week on October 1st, I will start posting a whole bunch of pre-release information for Civilization 4. We're going to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Civ4's release with 25 reports in 25 days, one per day, culminating on the official two decade anniversary on 25 October 2025. I've been sitting on these reports for the past 20 years, always with the intention of making them public eventually, and it's time for them to finally see the light of day as we celebrate the birthdate of this amazing game that we all love so much. Check back here again on October 1st when the reports start appearing once each day, and in the meantime enjoy this preview page that gives some of the background into what an incredible experience it was to take part in the testing process for Civ4.

I've overdue for an update to the front page of the website covering the content that's been added over the past three months. The biggest activity has been on the Civ7 portion of the website which now has five full reports along with an extended review of the gameplay that asks the question of what happened. It's pretty clear by now that Civ7 has turned into a flop of a release and I'm dubious that further patching or expansions will be able to turn things around, I guess we'll have to wait and see. I've also been playing a lot of Teamfight Tactics under the Set Ten Revival with the videos getting added under the old Set Ten YouTube playlist. We're a few weeks away from the debut of Set Fifteen which I hope will be better than Set Fourteen. Then I also did a series of Master of Orion games on Livestream under the Taciturn Humans variant which turned into a lengthy three part report in its own right. That's quite a lot of new content in addition to the long-running Diablo 2 series about Skelly the Summoning Necromancer (which I still need to finish), hopefully all of this makes up for not having an Civ4 AI Survivor season this year. Speaking of Civ4, I have some plans for that game upcoming to coincide with its 20th anniversary later this year, more details on that in a few months. Stay tuned...
