Apolyton Weekly News delivers seven days worth of Civilization-news from around the online and offline gaming community to your electronic mailbox free of charge. Compiled by ACS Co-Owner/Webmaster Markos Giannopoulos, the content covers all of latest news, files, and information from Apolyton's expansive gaming lineup PLUS what's happening on and around Apolyton's esteemed Hosted Sites PLUS news from other civ sites outside of Apolyton.

Its humble beginnings began during the pre-Apolyton era, surfacing as "CivMail" on the now defunct Ultimate CivII Site. The service in this format lasted a few short months before its rebirth as "Apolyton Weekly News". As Apolyton grew, so did the newsletter's size and its subscriber base! In early January 1999 the 1000th subscriber signed on, and in less than a year that number spilled over the 2000 mark. In mid-February of 1999 the name shortened to simply "Apolyton News", and on May 6 1999 it was renamed to "Apolyton & Friends News", as it started to contain news from "smaller" civ sites.
