A part of the current Steam strategy fest is the indie game “Theocracy”. Theocracy is an old-school #turnbased #4X game, inspired by #Civ1 and #civ2 but with a focus on religion and mysticism. So besides expanding your empire, you also need to spread your religion and convert pagans.

The game is currently on sale for 4.89€ instead of 6.99 until September 4, and the dev is a fellow civ-fanatic too!

Since it's popping up on the local time line: #10GamesToKnowMe

And we'll do the most reasonable thing we can do:
- #Civ1
- #Colonization
- #Civ2
- #AlphaCentauri
- #Civ3
- #Civ4
- #Civ5
- #BeyondEarth
- #Civ6
- #Civ7

Because this is the best list, obviously.

The video game history foundation has posted a new and interesting article. The article describes that 87% of historic video games (range 1960-2009) are currently not available at all, not on GoG, Steam, or elsewhere.

This is very relevant for the Civ community. #Civ1 and #Civ2 are still not legally downloadable anywhere, so they are endangered.
Let's hope that these classics will be preserved for the future.

@melsaywhat Welcome! 👋🏼You got me at #Civ6. I've been playing the game since #Civ1. I actually buy laptops, based on their ability to run the game. 😅
