2K Is Temporarily Pulling XCOM From The App Store, Removing Sid Meier's Pirates For Good
“Nothing lasts forever,” my mother told me when I was a child. “Not even 2K’s library of games—a few of which are pretty solid—on the App Store.
Civilization Has A New Board Game
There’s a long history of Civilization board games, from a 1980 title that kinda inspired the video game series to a number of versions (in 2002 and 2010) that have in turn been based on the video games. We can now add one more to the list, this time based loosely on Civilization VI.
What A 61-Player Civilization V Map Looks Like Without The UI
Civilization Battle Royale MK II is a huge ongoing simulation, with 61 AI players on a giant Civ 5 map of Earth. We wrote about the project before, and seeing some current shots of the map, without the UI, just further proves how crazy it is.
42-Player Civilization Game Fixed, Resumes Destruction Of Planet Earth
My pessimism was for naught. The giant 42-player, AI-only Civilization V game that had seemed doomed has in fact been saved, and the surviving Civs are free to resume soaking the dirt with the blood of their enemies.
Every Country That Has Ever Been In The Civilization Games
England is obvious. So too Japan, and China, and Egypt. But there have been a lot of Civilization games featuring a lot of Civilizations, so let's take a look at a map (made by sirprizes) showing every nation that has made it into the series and those who, sadly, have not.

Civilization V's Attack on Titan Mod Adds Giant Walls To Your City
If you think about it, the world of the popular anime Attack on Titan, where people live behind giant walls, would fit into Civilization V really well. So it was only a matter of time that someone added Eren Jaeger of The Walls as a civilization for the game.
There's An Unexpected StarCraft Mod For... Civilization V
There's little in common between StarCraft II and Civilization V, yet a modder on Steam decided to add StarCraft units and lore to Civilization. Finally, we can beat up rival countries with Kerrigan's psionic powers or with Terran siege tanks.
This Ambitious Mod Aims To Fully Convert Civilization V To Warcraft
Warcraft and Civilization may contain two completely different game worlds with distinct game mechanics, but modder Bamington's Civilizations of Warcraft mod pack for Civ V—a huge project designed to add as much from the Warcraft universe as possible—fits like a glove.
There's A Beavis & Butt-Head Mod For Civilization V. It's Brilliant.
Sid Meier's Civilization V and its expansions now include almost all the major civilizations, nations and cultures in one way or another, meaning it's okay to go wild when it comes to modding. So why not make a playable nation based on two of the greatest minds of our time: Beavis & Butt-head?
