This is not the Civ we all know and love. Beyond Earth was different, and I do play it from time to time.
This civ is going into that category.

Duke Nukem Forever of the Civ franchise.

The UI needs work. Some (buncha) things are not intuitive.

No way to go to fast move/combat yet either. :(
(the slow movement does get tedious)

Yeah, I broke down and bought it. All the other stuff aside, they DID make it for linux on day 1.
I want to encourage that.

Playing on easiest setting, Antiquity age, only 1 other civ left on my continent.
(I took over Ben Franklin, someone wiped out couple others, Harriet Tubman just DoW me)

They say they fixed marathon issues, don't think so.

It IS pretty I'll give that. It is playable though (as in not crashing every turn)

It did crash first time, they did a patch yesterday and I changed a setting, no crash after that.

(first rounds of all their games are .... 'a bit rough' .... heh)

The Sims and The Sims 2 officially return with a Legacy Collection for each

The app/denuvo are in: 25th Anniversary Pack [External Link]

That has Sims4 in it apparently. (both retro packs and some other stuff)

I have Sims that came in the Mandrake Gaming Edition way back, but don't have Sims2. (have 3 & 4)

It's still a no-go due to Denuvo and the 2k acct required for MP.

Looking forward to a SteamOS that works. (that'll be going on the gaming system)
