Hello everyone, and welcome to Season III of CivSim! We are officially in the first sub-era of the Ancient era, so it is now 0-400 in the world of CivSim, which corresponds to 2000-1600 BCE in the real world.

This means that the major technologies Bronze Working, Sailing, and Writing are now available for any Civ to research with at least 600 words of RP (roleplay) in one or more OC (original content) posts.

We are specifically in the first turn of the first sub-era right now. This first turn will last for the next two weeks, until October 14 at 12 AM EDT. This means that Civs are free to explore (6-12 tiles without researching Sailing, depending on a roll) and expand (6 tiles without researching Writing) exactly once each in the next two weeks, once they have been placed on the map. However, players are free to post as many RP posts about their Civ as they desire.

Subsequently, CivSim's second turn will start, allowing for each Civ to explore and expand once more within the subsequent week. On October 21 at 12 AM EDT, this second turn will end, giving way to our third turn within our second sub-era, which will last from 400-800.
