Today we're excited to share that the next monthly Civilization VI challenge, Ides of March, is now live for the Steam version of the game on PC. This challenge can be attempted at either Prince or Emperor difficulty. For a limited time, challenges like this one afford you an opportunity to test your skills as a specific leader in a unique scenario. The first time you successfully complete each challenge, you'll earn yourself a new in-game Hall of Fame Badge. To play the current challenge between March 12 and April 9, go to the main menu in-game and click on "Ides of March - Challenge of the Month." Note that if you don't own any of the DLC featured in the challenge, you will be granted free trial access to it for use in the challenge so you don't miss out. We'll update this page with details on upcoming challenges as they become available. [h3]CURRENT EVENT [/h3] CHALLENGE 5: IDES OF MARCH The Fall of Rome is imminent! As Caesar, do you have what it takes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? You've already conquered much of the world, but every civilization that remains now unites against you, and your armies are stretched too thin to defend your empire on every front. There are difficult choices to be made between now and April 9 when this event ends. Other civilizations' attacks demand your attention, but you also can't afford to ignore the threats posed by barbarians, famine, and natural disasters.
