Meanwhile, efforts to restart the Civ social SCivCast to now focus on the recently released Civilization Online will be ongoing having begun at the end of last year.

by DanQWinter welcome. The two-hundred-and-forty-forth episode of PolyCast, "Not Just a Lame Clip Show XVII", features regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick, "Makahlua", Philip "TheMeInTeam" Bellew and "MadDjinn" with then first-time guest co-host Lotfi "ZTZaorish" Kerzabi in the seventeenth compilation of segments archived from previous episode recordings and not released previously. Its 59m59s runtime is extended coverage of a broad topic: the response to a detailed outline for designing a Civilization VI with an empire management design philosophy is just as comprehensive (recorded for Episode 237).
Recording live every other Saturday, PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production in an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on game strategy; sibling show RevCast focuses on Civilization: Revolution, ModCast on Civ modding, SCivCast on Civ social gaming and TurnCast on Civ multiplay. Concluding PolyCast's ninth season, another compilation is to be published on January 9th as its Season 10 premiere... right after the live recording of its next episode.-

Know a special someone in your life who isn't playing the latest Civ yet? Want them to (re-)capture that "one more turn" feeling? You can by winning one of five copies of Civilization V: Complete during tomorrow's recording. Winners will receive a Steam code that they can use themselves or send on as a gift to someone else.
Courtesy CivV developer Firaxis Games, the combined value of these prizes is $250US.
Questions for Firaxis Games not answered on PolyCast #200 will be reviewed for answering on a future episode of the show. The Firaxians were on the show for about 40 minutes, and there was a number of inquiries that there was not time to get to.
Thanks again to all who contributed and were able to listen to the recording of the show live today. The post-produced version is to be released in a week's time.
