One of the 2kqa branches was updated yesterday. So all bets are off. It still could come out this week, but there's nothing special pointing to this week now.
Edit: except that yesterday's update was in the evening Firaxis time, which is not typical. But it's not terribly unusual either, so who knows if it means anything.
There was also an update yesterday to the proving_grounds branch of the SDK. That's the 4th since the GS patch, for reference there are not many in the history for that branch.
Yes, I was still following that branch from time to time, wondering when the few 2018 updates were about to go public
The corresponding branch of Assets was updated the 1st march BTW.
One can dream. However i feel that such a large modding release would be announced a bit ahead of time. Seeing as i'm sure Firaxis know how much we are desperate for it

That would be a first for the serie as they have released two expansions and multiple patches after the civ4 DLL source and one expansion and multiple patches after the civ5 DLL source...
Since i havent modded on any other civ, what would change with the release of the "dll"?
Will we get more possibilities? What iam miss the most right now is the ability to alter data at runtime (via lua), i have a lot of getters but only a handfull setters which are very limiting, would that change?
What are the _main_ features/changes of having the dll available?
Wasn't the same term used, to indicate a proper worldbuilder, just after launch of the vanilla game? So, soon in Firaxis lingo has taken more than two years already...
I really want that world builder dammit. The backdoor method just isn't sufficient.

First let me say again that we can already do a lot in Lua, sometime using some "creative hacking" with the help of fake buildings and modifiers...
But if we gain access to the gameplay DLL source code, then we could do anything in relation to gameplay, so yes, you could add any "setters" you want for your values.
No more "creative hacking" needed.
Full access to the AI coding, no more guess work on variables and decision trees....
And real debuging !
The only parts that would stay out of reach would be the main exe and the other DLLs content running the graphic, sound, network, etc...
But it opens the door for total overhaul of combat, diplomacy, units stacking, AI, etc..
What are the chances Firaxis will give us access to the DLL? I've heard people say since Civ VI has been released for the Switch and iOS that Firaxis will want to keep all versions of Civ VI the same so they might be hesitant to release it for PC.

Map editor/scenario creator. Allows you to place Terrain,cities/settlers, roads, units, ect. Does not allow rule/gameplay chances that's what the DLL would allow.
I want the World Builder mainly to "fix" the map script( I despise inland lakes, too much Tundra/Snow/Deserts) and to put my opponents were I do not meet them till 1000ad, and certain City States (I'm looking at you Auckland) close to me.
