You can now earn rewards while you watch Civilization livestreams on Twitch!
How to earn and claim your rewards
Step 1: Watch
Log into Twitch and tune in to any Twitch Drops enabled livestream of Civilization whenever Drops are active and watch for the amount of time specified in each Drops campaign. You will see a Drops callout at the top of the chat in eligible livestreams that includes information about the Drops campaign and how long you need to watch to earn the reward.
Step 2: Claim Your Drops
Check your Twitch Inventory to track your progress. Once you fulfill a Drop's requirement, you will receive a claim notification at the top of the Twitch navigation. Make sure you claim your Drop through Twitch within 24 hours of completing it.
Step 3: Receive Your Rewards
In Civilization VII there is a “Gift Box” feature that will let you know what gifts have arrived since the last time you were online. You’ll be able to see these as soon as you get into the game!
