Incoming News Writeup About Firaxis Resident Historian, Andrew Johnson

[sonicmyst]

I Just found this article recalling Andrew Johnson's time at Firaxis and how he messed up with Civ 6's civilopedia!

Civilization 7's senior historian once deleted Civ 6's massive Civilopedia, replacing every entry with a single warmongering emperor: 'The entire folder just went, and I looked, and it was just my one little entry'

How Emperor Basil II conquered all of history.

Johnson? He is a part time employee. He spends part of his year in Sweden.

Another example of how basic IT practices make the difference between a career/project ending disaster and a fun anecdote. If you're producing data and it's not backed up somewhere else (that you can easily recover and can't easily destroy), you're doing it wrong.

This is correct.
