The Modern Age livestream is coming December 17th!

[FXS_Gilgamesh]

Early holiday present from Firaxis! The Modern Age livestream is on it's way, December 17th at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM GMT / 7PM CEST. Come join us live on the Firaxis Games Twitch Channel or the Civilization YouTube Channel.

Here's what you can expect...
- Ben Franklin leads Amercia! Check out his First Look and this new civ in action.
- We'll be diving deep into the Modern Age, showing off new mechanics and a look at the final legacy paths. Maybe even those railroads you've been waiting for, @ursa_ryan...
- + a brand new Leader reveal!

We’ll be answering your questions live on stream, so tune in to leave your questions for our dev team, and we’ll tackle as many as we can during the stream. Also, if you missed your chance last stream to get the Exploration Age Banner Twitch drop, you're in luck. Redeem it by watching at least 15 minutes live and linking your 2K account to Twitch: more details here.

See you soon!

Super excited!!

 

[bbbt]

Awesome! I was worried we wouldn't get anything until Jan with the holidays and possibly any PR management re former intern.

I'm super excited to see the victory conditions in the modern era. Also see how some mechanics like trade and religion change. And see if we have a "disable events" option.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Hmm. Showing off America (who appears to have a Roundhouse UB) and railroads in the same stream.

 

[Vennlig]

Woohoo! So happy we don't have to wait until January for this! Gearing myself up to officially jump on the Civ 7 hype train

 

[chaosprophet]

Really looking forward to the stream! Also glad we got it earlier than expected. If you're accepting questions posted here too, here is a couple (about older stuff as we don't know much about modern to have good questions yet):
Does all civs have gameplay unlocks? Are distant lands AI civilizations unable to get points in some legacies on exploration because they start on the distant land or does it work differently for them?

10AM PT / 1PM ET / 5PM GMT / 7PM CEST

Uh, I don't think those time zones make sense:
PT=UTC-8
ET=UTC-5
GMT=UTC+0
CEST=UTC+2 (Why CEST? It is winter )

yet, the offsets between those times do not match those time zones.

If we assume 10 AM PT and 1 PM ET are correct, that would mean 6 PM GMT and 7 PM CET.

 

[Boris Gudenuf]

Aaaaargh! I have a dental appointment scheduled for that morning that I cannot re-schedule.

I will doubtless return to the computer that afternoon to 127 pages of commentary on one hour of video . . .

 

[Mr Jon of Cheam]

Excellent news!

 

[SupremacyKing2]

We better see a nuke! lol

 

[queenpea]

Is Madame Franklin looking better to anyone else? I love her little spectacles here.

We're at CET in central Europe now, which is GMT+1 not GMT+2. If the GMT time is correct, it's 6PM CET.

 

[FXS_Gilgamesh]

Bless all of you and your keen eyes . You are corret, that was meant to be "10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM GMT / 7PM CEST". The 10 AM PT and 1:00 PM ET are the points of reference. Thanks again!

 

[Evolena]

(Still not Summer time in CET, unfortunately - I know it must be strange for it to be the opposite of Standard)

 

[Nikolai II]

Yep, 6 PM GMT would be 8 PM CEST. But we're using CET now, as it's Winter, so it's 7 PM CET.

though i want the leader to be Lili’uokalani, I’d expect it to be frederick the great or catherine the great with the rapidly reducing leader slots and the hints at their inclusion.

If the livestream features America, it’s possible we will get some Lili reveal. Otherwise it would be a leader associated with a Modern civ.

lili’uokalani also has the unique advantage of being a modern leader for a non-modern civ that’s nominally associated with the us, plus she fits the stream theme of diplomacy.
