FYI: For those out of the loop like me, the headline is written somewhat ambiguously and actually means "free multiplayer features and Age features," not that multiplayer isn't included at launch.

That being said, according to the Civ website at launch "up to five players [will be] supported in the Antiquity & Exploration Ages, and up to eight players [will be] supported in the Modern Age." One of the post-launch updates will expand that limit to 8 players throughout the game and another will add teams and hotseat to multiplayer.

Not sure why they're not there at launch since they've been standard Civ features for years, but...

Post launch plans include finishing the game and packaging popular civs as paid dlc.

Right, and what makes you think that?

The words in the article. Great Britain/English is a paid dlc. You can't play with the same number of players in each age at launch. You can't do hot seat multiplayer at launch.

Free multiplayer in civilization game? Can't be! I've always paid for it before, what a great feature!

That title made me think it didn't come with multilayer at launch.

I've put hundreds or thousands of hours into every Civ game since Civ 2. I'm so fucking sad that I don't care about this new release. I'm Irish and I can't even enjoy Britain being relegated to DLC because somehow Ada Lovelace is a leader? Who is this game for?
