Civ VI: Jack of All Trades

Thanksgiving weekend it looks like I managed to finish the game off with Rome and accidentally got an extra achievement along with it.

CivVI: This Blood is the Life

And another Civ VI achievement complete.

CivVI: Spicy Win

Mid September I managed to get this one complete it looks like.

-FF

Civ: Steel-Driving Man

It’s always funny when I trigger an achievement I wasn’t even going for. I’m not complaining, steam, I’ll take it.

Civ VI: Brazil Win

So this actually happened back in August but I still remember this one fondly. I tried out one of the ‘true start location’ maps and selected Brazil. I may have slightly stacked the deck in my favor on this one by manually selecting a bunch of other non-America civilizations so by the time I was discovered I’d already fully settled both South and North America.

I hadn’t really done much infrastructure wise, but boy did I settle all over the place. I think this one was ultimately won with culture, but I’m not positive at this point.

Civ VI: Gitarja Win!

Slowly but surely, trying out different leaders and then hopefully winning with them.

Civ VI: When Diplomacy Fails…

I mean, the achievement isn’t wrong…

Looks like I triggered this one in Steam back in July.

Civ VI: Owls of Minerva

I haven’t done much with the secret societies yet, but here’s the first one I’ve maxxed out. 🙂

Civ VI: Gift From the Storm god

That’s the one shame of sharing these achievements so far out sometimes. I have no idea which game this was at this point, just that I finally got this steam achievement… back on July 13th.

Just… One… More… Turn… (Happy Birthday Civ!)

Welp, thanks for making me feel old…I started playing Civ from Civ II with a demo.

Sometimes seeing how fast I could “beat” the demo (by discovering gunpowder) and sometimes seeing how long I could avoid beating it (by avoiding gunpowder at all costs). Alpha Centauri, a spin-off game, saw a full play-through the night TJ was born because Redflare was in the hospital in a shared room so I couldn’t stay over and be with them.

Too excited to sleep, I spent the whole night from turn 1 to victory playing that game, waiting until visiting hours were available so I could go see them again. Through the years, Civilization games are my default go-to when I’m pinned down holding a sleeping baby. From TJ and Little Miss to Fireball and Potato.

I believe I held Superman while playing Civ IV, for example with Newbie likely sleeping with Civ V and Thunderer while playing “Beyond Earth” (another spin-off).

Hard to believe the game now celebrates its 30th anniversary.

So off we go now, for just… one… more… turn…
