So I expected to see a spoof article in the news updates somewhere. But I was unpleasantly surprised to find none! So, I have to make one of my own:

Zimbabwe to be included in Civ IV Update:

Soren personally announced yesterday that Zimbabwe, to balance out the glut of European powers, will be included in the game. Its leader will be one Robert Mugabe, and in a rare twist, he only has one personality trait: Aggressive.

"Well," Soren said in an interview, "None of the other traits seemed to fit him. Financial and organized he is not, he's hardly protective or charismatic, he's about as spiritual as Christopher Hitchens, and about as philosophical as Attila the Hun. And as we already have an Agg/Imp leader in the game, we thought that Mugabe should just get Aggressive."

Mugabe's unique power is that of Hyperinflation, which makes maintenance ten times normal. Nevertheless, Succession Game gods Sirian and Sulla have promised that they will win a succession game on Monarch with him.

"We like a challenge," they were heard to say in a forum post. "And what better challenge than the worst leader in the history of Civilization IV?"

More on this story as it develops.
 
There were news updates that were fake and funny. The joke is on you! :lol:
 
Well, it's intended to be obviously fake.

Also, I didn't see any funny updates on Civfanatics News board...

And am I the only one who would hope for that kind of thing in Civ V?

It's April fools day, where you go around telling lies to people trying to make them believe them (pretty tall and not bad lies obviously). Some people are good I'm not.

Oh, man I would so love to have the Beyond Thunderdome edition of CivV.
