Last month, dadabouin went and did something I've never seen accomplished in Civilisation VI before: he built 34 wonders in the one city, arranged in a way that has me thankful Civ VI doesn't have Independence Day's landmark-destroying aliens in its faction lineup.

Civilization 6's Spring Update (the game likes to do things in American seasons) is now live, and while many of the changes it brings are just tweaks to various dials and figures, there are a few welcome new additions in there as well.

Religion has been a powerful motivating force throughout human history, but some Civilization 6 AIs are a little too into religion, at the expense of, well, pretty much everything else. It's a real bug, and it's all because of a typo.

It took Civilization V two full expansions to become the classic it's regarded as today. Civilization VI is halfway there.

Samuel Whitehead is an artist at Firaxis, and has worked on games such as X-Com 2, Star Citizen and Civilization 6.

Hahahah, a $US60 ($78) iPad game, in 2017, would you get a look at that. Only in this case, it's not as insane as it sounds.

Another of my favourite Civ 5 factions will be returning to Civ 6 next year, with the Dutch accidentally revealed a little early on local TV.

One of the new factions coming to Civ 6 alongside the big new expansion will be Korea, a welcome return since they were so cool in Civ 5.

Borders will shift, cities will change loyalties and empires will rise or fall. The first expansion for Civilization 6, aptly titled Civilization 6: Rise and Fall will be released on February 8, 2018.

After skipping Civ V, the Khmer are returning to the series in an update for Civilization VI.

It's been almost a year since Civ VI was released, and in that time Firaxis has been trying to address some of the issues fans have had with the enormous and otherwise excellent game. The upcoming Fall Update continues this process.

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.

Alongside the release of Nubia, Civilization 6 has a "Summer Update" that makes a number of surprisingly major changes to the game.

There are few more difficult ways to win Civilization 6 than to score a Culture victory (which is kinda busted) on the game's hardest difficulty setting. Hats off to Tater596, then, for not only pulling it off, but managing to do so without going to war.

Here's Seamang64 playing Civ 6 on his laptop, able to claim that he "built Oxford University in Oxford in Oxford University in Oxford".

I have seen many reasons given by major publishers for the distribution of free content, but international currency discrepancies is a new one. Yet that's what is happening with Civilization 6, with 2K announcing a whole range of new stuff that's going to be given away free to owners of the game's Digital Deluxe edition.

One of the most annoying issues with Civ 6's AI since launch has been the severity of warmonger penalties. Raise a finger against another Civ ever, even in defence, and you're in trouble for the rest of the game. That's not very fair, so it's getting a fix.

Civilization VI is a very good video game, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.

Demos have been gone so long there will be younger readers who never really got comfy with them in the first place, but a some news from big PC publishers this week shows that the oldest (and maybe best) way of selling a video game is making a comeback.
