Happy New Year 2018!
Happy New Year everyone!! Another great year with the wiki has come to a conclusion. With the upcoming Civilization VI: Rise and Fall expansion 2018 is going to be at least as exciting as 2017 was. :)
With the new year I decided to revisit the graphs I created a couple of years ago. The same analysis stands as back then, and the growth that this wiki has experienced has been fantastic. Without further ado:
Cheers, and happy new year 2018 again!
