Thank You, from Firaxis!

Thank you! to all of you who play Civ. My name is Arthur Gould and I love working on this game and it really makes me smile every time I meet someone who plays and enjoys the game. I love that people get to be excited about their own culture and history as they play the game. You all are the best!

Thank you for being amazing fans and growing with our games over the years. We're passionate about crafting that One More Turn experience, and it's only possible with you, The Fans, on the other side of the screen pushing the limits of awesome.

Thank you so much for joining me and all of the phenomenal musicians on the soundtrack as we’ve explored so many of the amazing musical traditions of the world. Your support, enthusiasm, and deep interest in the music for each civ has been a continual encouragement as we’ve worked on the music for each civ. Thank you for leaving the music on and being open to hearing the richly diverse music of the world!

Cheers to you for creating the, IMO, greatest gaming soundtrack I have heard in my life.

Hey all! I've been working on the engineering side on a lot of the Civ titles, including those lesser known entries such as CivWorld. Thank you all for being with us while we all take one more turn, wherever that may be!

Hi Civ Fans, thanks Soooo much for definitely being the Greatest fans in Gaming. Civilization is a large portion of my life, and to see how appreciative and informed our fans are, it energizes me to make the best Effects I can for you. I’m not just a Dev, I’m addicted to Just One More Turn, just as you. Its always exciting to see all the creative ways people play and use our game. So fun to see us mentioned in streaming and Blogs. I want to know how the game has brought joy into your life, what your favorite Civs and units are, whats your got to snacks to drive you thru your next turn!! Mine is Peanut M&Ms. Frontier Pass was a lot of fun to work on with the range of Civs and modes we created for you.

Hello Civ Fans,

Thanks so much for being a part of the Civilization VI journey and for spending the past year exploring New Frontiers for our franchise. Your dedication has been very meaningful for us and your passion for improving our game invaluable. I have personally enjoyed so much of the content you have been sharing in our communities: your screenshots of amazing cities, your analysis of our civilizations, and your stories about our leaders.

I’m looking forward to working with all of you as our franchise moves ahead into the future. After all there are always Carlbarians cities to sack, cats to pet, and Civilopedias to open, right?

You guys are the best Ed. The pre release of Civ 6 in the summer of 2016 helped me cope with the recent loss of my father. It was the perfect distraction at my lowest point in life and would bring thousands of hours of enjoyment through gameplay and theory crafting. He would have loved it every bit as much as I do. I'm looking forward to what you and your team do next!

Cheers

Hi Civ fans! I'm Keaton VanAuken. As a long time Civ fan myself I was super excited to get the opportunity to become part of the Civ team through Ghostpunch Games. As a UI programmer I got to implement some of the cool UI from launch, expansions, and Frontier Pass for more than four years now! It has been awesome to see you all enjoy that UI and hear the feedback on what we could improve. That makes all the hard work worth it! Thank you to all of the Civ fans out there!

 

[Killer Rabbit]

Thanks to all of you at FXS! Civ VI is incredible and the NFP was a really wonderful distraction from this past year! It was fun to see you all let your proverbial hair down in the videos!

Can't wait to see what you all do next. An age of mythology spinoff, perhaps?

 

[Hellenism Salesman]

I'm speechless... now this is a way to give back to the community!

And trust me, us at Civfanatics are just as thankful for you as you are for us. Thanks for fostering my love of history, music, culture, and game design (και ελληνικά...)! Ευχαριστώ!

2540 hours and counting, thanks Firaxis! Loved the art from the get-go. Loved the board game vibes, loved the depth, loved the whole journey from first playing it in Essen at Spiel a week or so before release, loved the first instances I heard the music and saw the cool leader animations. Loved all the DLC (some more than others of course), and loved the NFP-model too.

This small gesture of posting here is greatly appreciated and a huge surprise. Thanks for that : )

Keep up the good work, and good luck on whatever your next endeavour is, whether it's Civ VI related or not.

Thank you so much for joining me and all of the phenomenal musicians on the soundtrack as we’ve explored so many of the amazing musical traditions of the world.

Knorr, Sir, you don't get enough credit. I've been listening to the soundtrack also out of game, and have gone so far as putting some songs in the playlist of my godchildren. Thanks for the amazing renditions and interpretations of already beautiful music (some more known, others new and welcome discoveries). The music in Civ adds so much to the atmosphere, it's uncanny.

 

[Leucarum]

Thank you all. It's difficult to imagine gaming without Civ, but it takes an incredible amount of talent and hard work to make that possible.

This year Civ has taken on an outsized importance for us as it became a major social outlet for our friendship group during lockdown... We got quite a few more people taking one more turn while taking ten more ourselves.

Thank you for being a very bright spot in an otherwise gloomy year!

 

[Timberdoodle]

This was such a nice gesture! Thank you for poring so much passion and dedication into the game! You are the best devs in gaming

 

[AntSou]

Thanks for your work and kind words and I'm looking forward to your next project.

(Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for a reveal)

 

[Wizard-Bob]

What an incredible thread! Thank you, Team Firaxis, for all that you do!

 

[Gedemon]

The monthly releases of the New Frontier Pass have helped this past year to go by quickly and it's been encouraging to hear what fans think after each release. Whether on Reddit, CivFantastics, YouTube, Twitch, or other sites, there is a great enthusiasm and strong opinions for some many aspect of the game. I love how fans cover the spectrum of what they find important in the user interface of Civilization, and how modders are building creative solutions to enhance other players' experiences. To all the modders, thank you for your time, commitment, and creativity.

And thank you guys to make it highly moddable in the first place, civ6 is close to be the best, I hope you'll continue to support that part of the community in the future.

 

[Menocchio]

Thank you to everyone at Firaxis! I would write more, perhaps, but I think the best way to show my appreciation for your work is to go back to playing the game.
