For what its worth, I for one most emphatically do not intend to forthwith bail on this dear lil project of ours to chase the shiny new toy looming just over the horizon.

Not out. Imminent. DLC count already at 6. And it super literally is not as exciting.

Same! I have owned every iteration of the franchise since my teens, so, eventually I will simply have to buy Civ7 for the sake of my collection being complete. But DoC is literally the only game in town for me.

It's all been downhill since Civilization 2. Height of technology. Height of intelligence. Height of evolution.

It's been a while. Just turned 30. I have an online bookstore now. Work as a bartender.Welcome back! I have not seen you here for quite some time!
I know this is incredibly old fashioned but I am not a fan of keeping a community on discord. I considered it before, but the issue with discord is its "be there or you'll miss it" nature. I personally would have constant fomo that people are discussing something about the mod that I don't see, and I don't want to spend time to be active in a chatroom 24/7. I prefer the asynchronous communication we get on this forum, where I can check in at regular intervals and see what people are talking about. In my opinion anything that can be a discord message can also be a forum post, but things are better organized into threads than into the ebb and flow of conversation in a discord channel. You'd think where is the harm of keeping a discord server alongside the forum but in the end that is just moving a part of the community from a place I can see to where I won't see it.

Somewhere under the pile of garbage we've been dumping on your work desk lately are a few successes you should know about. American and Chinese settlement has improved noticeably (its sooooooo a big relief to see western China inhabited at last - cheers!), the improvements to Russian performance haven't been derailed by fixes elsewhere, and the Ottos seem to have shed their excessive enthusiasm for gobbling up all the Black Sea beachfront vacation properties. And if it hasnt been said before, it certainly isn't said enough: I surely speak for others as well that we understand the mission we signed up for and therefore any apparent difficulties are in fact only steps forward.

Civ 3 was the height of eras feeling distinct (music, leader clothing/backgrounds)
Civ 4 was the height of gameplay and moddability
Civ 5 was the height of leaderscenes

I think with the modern Asian music in Civ 7 and the Anno 1701 stuff I posted here a while back, there is now enough to create a modern soundtrack for East Asian civs so you don't listen to European orchestral music while playing as Imperial Japan.
I want to say that despite Civ 4 vanilla being one of my least prefered Civ games (I'm mostly a Civ 3 and 5 main which here might be heresy), Civ 4 has now become my most played game on Steam, all thanks to Rhye's and Fall but specially to Dawn of Civilization. Thank you Leoreth for all your amazing work. You made the Civ game I have always wanted
Cheers to Leoreth and all the other contributors who have been working on Dawn of Civ all through these years.
My strategy games diet has evolved a lot ever since I discovered Civ 4 in high school, but from time to time I keep coming back to the heir of RFC because it catches a very particular feeling that no other game (Civ franchise or otherwise) manages to replicate: inserting yourself in a plausible recreation of history in a way that overcomes the one particular focus of that game (be it wars, or economics, or building provincial administrations or railroads) and instead shows a coherent whole that lasts from the Pharaohs to the modern day.
I had some frustrations about balance issues in previous patches -I wouldn't be able to say which one was it, but the sight of England skyrocketing out of everyone's control and the only accepted viable counter-play being staging a surprise invasion to make them collapse wasn't great-, but including both the good and the bad, Dawn of Civ still my #1 choice to get this feeling. I recently came back to take a look at 1.18 and decided it was about time I left a little thank you for all the work.
