How is the difficulty rise up? Does the ai improve or just get more bonus?

I’m surprised, but I may actually get this on release, looks decent.

I appreciate you trying to fit in as much as you could, the bonus bit at the end too.

Really appreciated how in-depth you went on the game mechanics. Great video.

Civ VII is looking very good, I hope they don't mess it up

the thought of having caesar lead the egyptians or mongols feels wrong to me... idk who came up with the idea of historical iconic leaders that can be matched with any civ but not a big fan

the game won't be any good until the make you pay another 30 for dlc

Wow, the director really hates contrast, huh? Light green, lime green and yellow build tiles... Many colorblind people are gonna have a horrible time most likely...

thx a lot it was very nice to see you play:)

Thanks for the preview!

The last minute is hilarious 😄

best gameplay vid I have seen so far, useful... better than quill18 slurring, and others, good work Marb

Thanks Marbs!!

Leaders 7

icons and font are disgusting but the gameplay looks so interesting! i love the barb/city state changes and that resources are actually useful

I feel for console players cause I don’t much like the dark themed UI either. If you can get this game on PC I highly recommend i, its going to have mod support and I’m sure it won’t be long until we have a variety of options of UI mods to fit our tastes better.

Ah yes, the fearsome Polpetta, bane of interstellar invaders...(that is the Italian word for meatball)

I know you said you don’t really like the changes Civ 7 has but I still would be excited to watch your gameplay videos when the game launches.

This video is really excellent at explaining how the mechanics work. I have a really good feel for how the game flows.

Another civ 5 series?

That last minute was crazy! xD Yeah, I did enjoy watching some of the new mechanics, but the civ-switching one is still bothering me. That and with the agressive monetization that will happen makes me want to wait for a bundle and a discount further down the road.

Review embargo, day 1 DLC... I'll shut up and save my money.

Some of the new mechanics looked quite interesting but some of the others seem not so great. Not being able to swap what "citizens" are working on depending on whats currently needed seems like a step away from early game specialization but also would remove tedium in the late game. Also when the age progresses why do cities other than the capitol revert? I'll have to see more information on that but it seems like youll spend time building something up just for it to be taken back down which doesn't seem fun. The general/ soldier mechanic looks awesome and last I despise the new leader screen.

Commenting with the video paused at the start, but my hype for this game is close to 0. I know you are a honest reviewer, and even though you can't share your thoughts yet, I know that what you'll show is an unbiased view, and that's the best thing the fans in the community can get.

it's a little jarring seeing so many chinese states (esp from zhou dynasty) as city states lol

Thanks for this video. I'll be sure to avoid buying Civ 7 now.

I hope they "fix" the UI.. it's early access, so probably? Please?

Just a few thoughts...I would like to see them re-release Civ 5 with navigable rivers (and lakes), put fish or other food resources in lakes, updated combat and units, and multiple leader choices to play as a civ perhaps each with a unique bonus (for instance Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt for America all with some small difference like +2 food per city with Washington, bonus to diplomacy with Lincoln, some kind of military bonus for Roosevelt, etc.) Keep the same Civ the entire game, but maybe allow the occasional leader swap within that specific Civ's leader pool. Give every Civ at least 1 unique building and unit, perhaps even the "third and 4th unique component" like the mod or whatever it was called. Maybe make some changes to tech tree or culture policies. I do like how Pangaea is no longer a thing in Civ 7. Everyone played that map and I find it very boring, as part of civ to me was always exploration. Remove the science benefit from just making contact with other civs that have a technology that you do not. Create a nomad Civ where you can move your capital at the beginning of each era. Get rid of the scaling pantheon mechanic, make all pantheons cost the same amount of faith to found. Also get rid of the "chance for great prophet" and make it automatically spawn when you generate the faith threshold. Make it easier to stop AI from spamming their crappy religions on your cities. Take away some of the penalty from settling too many cities. Remove all barbarian units and encampments from the game once you reach the Industrial era. Allow for more land and exploration. Add new Civs. It's not just the game play, Civ 5 is the most visually appealing of the entire series. Oh, and take away the mountain requirement for having an observatory, or at least make it so mountain only has to be within 3 tiles of city tile. So many more things that could be done, but these would be a good start.

This actually got me hyped for the game. A lot of interesting new mechanics.

Man this game looks terrible. Bad UI, Bad gameplay mechanics (civ swapping). Oooof they fumbled what makes a civ game hard.

Civ 4 and 5 still works good for me!

I pointed this out when I saw the initial trailers and the developers talking about the game where they said "we spent a lot of time getting the languages right because we're really focused on historical accuracy." At the same time, having Augustus of the Incas, Elizabeth of the Japanese and Tokugawa of the Maori is extermely historically accurate. I wish I could be like Thomas and say I've never seen such bullshit before but alas. Don't give the reason of historical accuracy when one of the core mechanics of the game makes it utterly and unavoidably ahistorical.

Hey, nice! Hope you had some fun!

I'm simply uninterested in the game so long as my civ switches and my leader stays, rather than the opposite. They had a really cool opportunity to give us so many new leaders with the inclusion of people who didn't quote-unquote lead a country, but I feel they didn't make the best use of it.

The ending of the video was MAD! :D Love it!

I'm not even upset, I just want to know why...

I hope the minimap gets redone before release, I don't like the squares representing the cities. Prefer the tile accurate ones we've had. I also haven't watched the entire video yet so I don't have anything else to comment about.

I'm getting a lot of Millennia vibes and that's not really a good thing. Also, the leader screens IMO are a downgrade from Civ VI which was itself a downgrade from Civ V. Civ V will be 15 years old later this year.

I know it was already evident from the dev previews, but I'm impressed by the number of features that seem to be heavily inspired by Humankind. Anyway, thanks for another great video, looking forward to your first full game.

Good explanation. Simple, and CIV 7 looks good. "Augustus of the Inca Empire .." 🤣🤣

LOL I died when you included the sped up clip at the end. Thank you Marb for managing to show/talk about so much in this video!

Two questions, that I think you can answer: first, is did you have full access? Did you get to play all the way through to the modern age? Second, is did your play-through answer any misgivings you had about some of the design choices? You don’t have to give specifics, so you don’t get in trouble, I’m just wondering if the extended play through answered questions.

obligatory algo comment

Great video, as always. I haven’t bothered to watch any other KZbinr’s Civ VII videos because yours are the best. Very curious to hear your thoughts when the embargo is lifted. I am still not sold yet but remain open minded.

Marbozir "This is literally the best case scenario" TFTD proceeds to troll him with a Calcinite opening his sub door to murder 4 aquanants.

Marbs is always the best but I'm still sort of worried about this game. I like the mechanical changes but the interface and civ interactions seem to left behind.

Let hope this version will allow Marbozir to do multiplayers, so we can see a challenging game from various champions.

Civ 5 is still the best

I think its the 1st civ game im not interested in
