Civilization VII Apple Arcade is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you can start a campaign on your phone and keep it going on a larger screen later.

Reborn steps in with a Belle-based build that sticks to the stock feel, while cutting out bloat and dead links that drag old phones down. Short version, it makes the N8 nicer to use. The biggest quality of life fix…
