XCOM 2

I don't associate the two as they aren't the same team developing them.

Civ has been dead to me for awhile, it suffers from much the same problem as TW, the ideas that constitute the core game play have been exhausted, they have no new story to tell me.

Whereas XCOM is doing something new from the last game, we've flipped sides in effect. In the first game the aliens were invading earth, in this iteration the invasion succeeded, and humans are now the counter insurgency fighting to take earth back. And as you said, this time full mod support is in the package from day one.

Aaaand it's been delayed to February next year.

That sucks.

Yeah, bit disappointing that, but I guess I'll just have to roll with it and hope they are putting the additional development time to use making sure the game is finished when they launch it.

Game is up for preorder on Steam. I didn't even hesitate.

Yep, pulled the trigger myself, got an email from GreenMan Gaming for it with a coupon for 23% off, figured it probably between now and release wouldn't get any cheaper than that so I went ahead as well.

Also reloaded XCOM to have another go through on Enemy Within, only played that one through once and there's a lot of new tech stuff I never researched and got to play with so figured, why not.
