game modes

Hello, Civ fans! It's been a while since you've heard anything from the Enriched & Expanded Pack, but today I'm happy to announce one of the new game modes I promised in my initial reveal -- the Fight for the Future mode! What goodies will this optional mode add to your games? Read on to find...
