civfanatics<p>The Norwegian website Spillhistorie.no, a retrogaming website, has interviewed Michael Haire, the former artistic director of Microprose, who worked on <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ1</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ2</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/AlphaCentauri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlphaCentauri</span></a>, among other titles. In this interview he describes how Microprose started up, that an art department for Civ1 was a big leap in these old computer game days, and that MicroProse being bought by a competitor lead to the formation of Firaxis.

civfanatics<p>The Baltimore Banner has just before Christmas ran a title called "How Baltimore County became a hidden world of video game companies".<br>As many of you know, Baltimore is the home to our most important gaming studio, Firaxis, but not only that. Its predecessor, Microprose, was also situated in Baltimore, and more recently also many things have happened there. Firaxis personnel has spawnd other studios like "Big Huge Games", which were responsible for "Rise of Nations", and very recently Oxide Games, which has developed "Ara: History Untold". And we don't know yet what games will come from 2 other studious founded by Firaxis employees, Bit Reactor and Midsummer Studios.<br>If you want to read a bit more, then check out the article here <a href="https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/article/baltimore-county-video-game-developers-A7WWMHUXM5D2VDQG7ZOSCUVFQQ/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thebaltimorebanner.com/article</span><span class="invisible">/baltimore-county-video-game-developers-A7WWMHUXM5D2VDQG7ZOSCUVFQQ/</span></a> , and discuss it with us here <a href="https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/the-baltimore-banner-how-baltimore-county-became-a-hidden-world-of-video-game-companies.693772/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">forums.civfanatics.com/threads</span><span class="invisible">/the-baltimore-banner-how-baltimore-county-became-a-hidden-world-of-video-game-companies.693772/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ1</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ2</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ3</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ4</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ5</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ6</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ7</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Ara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ara</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/RoN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoN</span></a></p>

This is about a game in <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Civ2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civ2</span></a>, where a player played beyond the year 3000, with a 1700 long war. The ice caps melted due to nuclear weapons and the world turned into a swamp. Sid himself explains that Civ is not a world simulator, that we are not doomed, and that every Civ game can have a new outcome. </p><p>Discuss the video:<br>- <a href="https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/the-eternal-war-a-story-from-sid-meier.690589/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">forums.civfanatics.com/threads</span><span class="invisible">/the-eternal-war-a-story-from-sid-meier.690589/</span></a></p><p>Check the original game:<br>- <a href="https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/the-eternal-war-competition-signup.464176/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">forums.civfanatics.com/threads</span><span class="invisible">/the-eternal-war-competition-signup.464176/</span></a></p>
