From the Editor Hello, and welcome to the new format! For those unfamiliar, I used to run a newsletter (although, in practice, simply a weekly blog) about happenings across the Civ genre; it covered primarily CivMC news, but also happened to run things for CivReign and other servers in development during this time period. After two and a half years with no relief, this was the alternative solution, where I figured out that a monthly co...

Good morning and merry Christmas! Well, this is it folks, this is the final weekly newsletter you're going to see pinned on the CivMC subreddit. After two and a half years and 127 newsletters, this era is coming to a bittersweet close as I intend to move onto a few bigger and better things.

Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! We're so back but of course, I have to say the obvious, (which surprisingly I don't think I've said before on this newsletter) nothing ever happens. Especially this week, you'll notice that nearly everything I'm about to mention is all about metagame stuff because once again, nothing happened. Although I traveled from the same time zone today, this is going to be a short one because...
