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

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

And another Civ VI achievement complete.

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

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

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.

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

I mean, the achievement isn’t wrong…
Looks like I triggered this one in Steam back in July.

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

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.

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…
