PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production recording live every other Saturday at 12 Noon US Eastern Time throughout the year, in an ongoing effort to give the Civilization community an interactive voice; sibling show ModCast focuses on Civ modding.

Sorry for posting this to the forums late. I've spent the last two weekends putting together furniture for my partner. She's adding some sewing / crafting furniture to our "hobby room" (previously basically just storage for all my board games). Next week, I expect to get back to the regular schedule of recording the live episode on Saturday and releasing it to the website (and posting the link in the forums) on Sunday.

We at PolyCast hope that everyone had a safe and pleasant holiday season, and are looking forward to an exciting year of Civilization in 2021.

"At the time of the game when rationalism becomes active, it is not unreasonable to have multiple cities at 15 population". Wait what? It's rare I have multiple cities at 10 population by the time I unlock rationalism.

We probably should have qualified that with "depending on the difficulty level, play-style, etc."
