A new version of the Civilization game is in progress

It has been almost six years since the release of the last serise of the Civilisation game, developer Firaxis has announced that it is work in progress for the new version. The studio did not reveal much about the new game, but they did say that Ed Beach will be leading the creative direction. Beach has spent his significant time of the last 15 years working on the series, most recently as the lead designer on the last released Civilisation VI. Sid Meier, a legend in the video game industry, created the classic turn-based strategy game Civilisation. 

The goal of the game is to establish a mighty kingdom that will last forever. Dominate the globe by creating and leading a civilisation through the centuries, from the Stone age right on up to the age of Information and Technology. You'll go to battle, negotiate treaties, advance your culture, and more as you compete against some of history's most powerful figures to build the greatest civilisation the world has ever known. Civilisation VI introduces new methods to shape your planet via interaction. Cities may now grow geographically throughout the globe, new opportunities can be discovered by active study into technology and culture, and competing leaders will pursue their own goals based on their unique pasts as you compete for one of five possible game outcomes. 

In a press release issued this week, Take-Two Interactive—parent company of Firaxis—announced the news. Several workers shifts at the studio were reported in the statement. Studio manager Steve Martin is leaving Firaxis after more than 17 years in the role, which he took up from Firaxis co-founder Jeff Briggs in 2006. Martin has decided to leave the firm. Former COO Heather Hazen is taking over day-to-day management of the studio and will now report directly to Firaxis's CEO. "I'm happy to have this chance to continue on the studio's famous tradition," Hazen stated after hearing that Firaxis is working on the next installment in the renowned Civilisation game. I am honoured to be given the chance to continue the studio's rich history. 

The head designer of the Civilisation series remarked, "I'm happy to be working with some of the top developers in our business, and we have plans to take the Civilization franchise to thrilling new heights for our millions of gamers across the globe." Here at my company, we have some of the most talented programmers in the business. It was announced on Friday that Jake Solomon had left his position at Firaxis. Despite being one of the most prominent designers at the firm thanks to his contributions to the XCOM series and Marvel's Midnight Suns, the designer has opted to quit the company after 23 years of service." Despite his fondness for the process of making tactical turn-based games, Solomon noted on Twitter that "it's time for other, better individuals to take that sector ahead." "This new fantasy is like a bright bulb shining in my brain." We need to go give chase right now."

Indian female cricketer Smriti Mandhana made a history by becoming the most expensive player in women's cricket. In a player auction for the inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL), Royal Challengers Bangalore bought her for a staggering $413,000 (£340,000). She lead the team in 23-day competition that kicks off on 4 March in Mumbai. Mandhana, who opens the batting for India. Madhana has a combined 6,049 runs from her 193 international appearances across the three formats, including five hundreds in one-day international and a Test century. Widely considered a prodigy, she became the first Indian woman to hit a double century in under-19 cricket, representing Maharashtra, as a 17-year-old. She has played in the Kia Super League, The Hundred in the UK and the Women's Big Bash League in Australia.

Anant Tambwekar, a former cricketer, has worked with her father Shravan Mandhana, her father brought her to him as a 12-year-old. Mandhana's accomplishments in her decade-long international career have been impressive, especially since the 2017 ODI World Cup in England, where she played a pivotal role in India's breakout campaign. In February 2019, she topped the ICC Rankings for batters in T20s for the first time. She is the only woman other than Australia allrounder Ellyse Perry, whom she'll share the dressing room with at the WPL, to be named the ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year more than once. Last year, Mandhana dominated the run charts in T20s among players from full member nations and was named on both the ICC ODI and T20 Teams of the Year.

She also had a Player-of-the-Match-winning 32-ball 61 at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games semi-final against hosts England. Her other notable performances from last year include an unbeaten half-century in the final of India's victorious Asia Cup Campaign and a pulsating 49-ball 79 in the second T20 against Australia in Navi Mumbai. Off the field, she has brand associations with high-profile clients like Red Bull and Nike and has appeared on adverts with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh and and cricket icon MS Dhoni. She is one of India's most popular female athletes on social media and could become the superstar female cricketer that the women's game in India is yet to see.
