Firaxis has summoned a storm on Twitch to tease something new

There’s a storm brewing on the Firaxis Twitch channel, and it’s starting to get pretty nasty. The stream started yesterday, displaying a cloudy sky and a city below. Now, that city looks like it’s in imminent danger. Why is Firaxis threatening this city with foul weather? Has Sid Meier packed in the day job and embarked on a life of super-crime?

Civilisation VI expansion focused on Natural Disasters? I'm always ready for more CIV content.

More content is always good. But things like that is what reinforce my idea of waiting until they launch a complete edition of the game. Not only will I save a lot of money, but I'll also be able to have the complete experience out of the game. Also, some of thos new features change the gameplay, so all the habits you developed from playing the base game are now almost useless and you (almost) have to start learning how to play it from the ground, which is great for some users, but a hassle for others.

And I'm having the same problem with other games like Cities Skylines and other Paradox titles.

Nope. I'm mostly fine with my current setup.

Next year with Zen2, or maybe even the other one, I'll start to think about a new build as my 4670 will start to show its age.

Nothing a little bit of overclocking on the 4670 can't fix to keep you in the game in the meantime anyway.

Going to be waiting on PCI-E 4, DDR5 to drop before I upgrade my desktop again.

In the meantime... Purchased a Ryzen 2700u, 16GB DDR4, 1080P IPS, 256GB M.2 SSD notebook for only $700AUD as a Christmas gift to myself... The display is low resolution, but at that price point, can't complain I guess, not like the integrated graphics is good for 1440P anyway.

Can finally do some light gaming when I travel.

Nice gift.

My own X-mas gift will probably be... one or two Steam games on sale.
