Really great questions. As a multiplayer-only civ player I'm so glad to have those asked and answered, and it's good to know that we'll probably be getting more traditional 8-person start games/maps in the future!

They choose switch players over us 8man MP enjoyers. I feel betrayed 😵

I expect that this will likely be something that gets patched in fairly fast - or at least that's the impression I got!

[@absolutefolly2011]

@@baxter1004 its a numbers thing. The civ6 multiplayer scene is tiny compared to the number of people who play actively on consoles. Hopefully they allow mods to really shape and redefine the game, like allowing a mod to expand the size of the player limit, to force a 4v4 or 8man ffa on that tiny antiquity/exploration map regardless of their balance/vision, because that too can be rebalanced and fixed with mods. Modding is the gift that keeps on giving for these type of games and I do hope they allow the mods a lot of freedom to change the game.

Map size due to platform constraints, i.e. Switch. I really think they are holding themselves back by designing for that system. New phones have more horsepower than that thing.

[@baxter1004]

Left us in the dark

[@homanh]

Doubt it. The limit is based on the fact that the map starts small (like mainland world) and then in exploration age, a new side of the world is opened up for you to go and colonize. You can't do that if both sides are available to players at the start of the game. Hence why its 5 players in Age1 & 2 but 8 players in the modern age. If it was because of switch, they could literally limit the number of civs on switch but not on PC. I think graphics is far more likely impacted by availability on consoles than actual gameplay mechanics.

[@alexsnewhandle]

And the switch 2 is similarly underpowered

[@alexsnewhandle]

​@@homanhdid you not watch the video???

[@chrisblake4198]

They hinted at naval warfare in the exploration age, and I can't wait to learn more. I'm eager to see if naval Commander will be separated from land. I'm also looking forward to what the third age has in store for air combat. Maybe the return of the Air/Satellite layer from BE, and a more robust system for moving and using air units including civilian aircraft.

[@Itshighc]

Thank you SOOOO much for giving console players a voice at the end of the question about mods! I understand it’s probably not gonna happen anytime near launch (if at all) because of console restrictions, but it’s great to know people like you are out there advocating for the console community and putting the idea on their radar (:

[@UrsaRyan]

They definitely know about it - it's likely to be a tough one to solve but who knows, maybe they'll get something in place

[@ryandelaune139]

For the player count I feel like people are going to complain either way. No switch? Complain. Switch performs badly because of too many people? Complain. Limit everyone because of Switch? Complain.

[@absolutefolly2011]

The complaints will just be from different people. Obviously. This is human nature, people want what's best for them and don't care about others. But, the playerbase majority and most longstanding members are PC players. Showing respect to that over the new console crowd would be the right thing to do overall. Also the switch is a shitty platform for a 4X game, it should not be hampering the rest of the players. It should not even be supported by civ7. But of course they will complain at what I said, and again I refer you to the start of this post. I don't care. But Firaxis will just do what they think will make them the most money. Apparently they think this is the way, they will find out soon enough if they were right or wrong.

[@BlackNomad1]

Supporting the switch in my view is a mistake. Switch 2, sure. But the further you go back the more compromises you have to make. So I sort of wish they cut the switch seeing as the sequel is highly rumoured to be in production right now. So it already feels out of date to support it. So we get less players, worse graphics because of the switch.

[@Irontigers]

Amazing interview. Thank you! So hype for civ 7!

So PC players will also be restricted with a tiny map just because of the restrictions of other consoles? Damn this is a bummer...

[@UrsaRyan]

Sounds like that might be the case on release, but it will get unwound as they patch. Or at least that's the impression I got

[@franciscoaguirre96]

@TheRealNacho87 This might prove useful for the first 5 to 10 games but i promise you sweetheart that there will be mods to fix this.

[@liampouncy7808]

@@UrsaRyan Only 8 minutes in, but it really feels like a lot of the gripes the community have had are just tithe-ing (teething) issues that purely come from the scope and scale of the release. People seem to have forgotten that multi-platform, cross-platform release wasn't a thing at all for Civ 6 - there were 5 waves of ports that occurred for 4 years after Civ 6 launch. I expect that there back-end must be hell right now because of it, but the positive impact for development that it will have post-release will be tremendous. Having a consistent code-base to start from and not multiple releases that have more/less DLC content will be a massive weight off their shoulders. I'd put money on: -Multiplayer player count increase -Multiplayer hotseat -More traditional map/ gameplay experience (ie Pangaea) -(Probably more things that I can't think of) All to come in the year or two post launch. Also, given that modding seems very similar, I wouldn't be surprised if Civ 6 modders will very quickly be able to patch up these problems very fast.

[@bigfudge2031]

The switch holds every game back, unfortunately

[@absolutefolly2011]

@@liampouncy7808 All true, but you can not blame people for looking at this game and comparing it to the previous ones and noticing that they are being restricted due to the crossplay where they never were before, and the price is significanlty higher for what you are getting on day 1. Perhaps it will be perfect in 2 years time when its all been modded to perfection and patched to its full scope....but thats not really how consumerism should work. Firaxis and 2k are lucky they have a lot of community goodwill and appreciation banked from its previous titles to fall back on and use to help soften this transition.

At the end, I would have liked to ask if there will at least be a notification like "Open Borders agreement with [Civ] ends next turn". Clicking on it could then take you to the diplo screen and you could then re-apply for it, such that there isn't an actual break in it.

[@plop_symphony]

They keep talking about "all civs being on one landmass" - like is every Antiquity age map Pangaea now and then it becomes Terra? No more Archipelago maps or anything like that? No more pure land maps? No crazy map generation where almost every water tile is coastal?

[@tutkarz]

it's possible because they said they focus on multiplayer so all players have fair start. Because of that they basically did all fields have some sort of income, even desert. In previous games even if you choose continents it was sometimes possible to start isolated on small island. That could be a reason to just dump all starting maps into one land.

[@bigfudge2031]

They said at the release of the game.

[@absolutefolly2011]

This has me very worried...tbh the entire game is worrisome. Modding will be what saves this game IMO. Especially for verterans of the genre. Mods will fix all of these mistakes from the devs and add all the stuff we want to see that they have not done because they spent their time working on crossplay with a switch....So perhaps the best bet is to wait to buy the game until the mods have had time to be developed and the game goes on a big steam sale. Buying right now for full price seems like a rip off compared to civ5 and civ6. It will be fresh and new for a few weeks but the substance probably wont be there and the problems will become apparent quick with civ7. Let the modders save the game like they do so well, and wait a bit to buy the game.

[@bigfudge2031]

@absolutefolly2011 people said the exact same things about civ 6 on launch. And yes, some of it was true and the DLC did improve the gameplay a lot, but it is still the original game at its core.

[@tutkarz]

@@bigfudge2031 not the same. People were afraid that the game will be with less features compared to civ V + DLCs but they knew, the game will be more or less the same. Now, they are changing game fundamentally in a way players didn't asked for - like dynamic civs. For me it's wrong that you need mods to play the way you want because devs don't want to give you any options and force crisises and other stuff. They should at last share their income with modders.

[@EdwardClayMeow]

I feel like there should be an option for each civilization that is in the game to be playable during each age. Like how there is for Japan and India. Because part of the fun of Civ, for me at least, is the alternative history narrative of taking a civilization like Egypt from antiquity to the modern age. Switching from Egypt to Songhai or Mongolia breaks that story.

[@asraarradon4115]

Your interview was WAY better than Potato's. Apparently, fellatio is now considered asking hard questions.

[@2gtomkins]

So, five civs on one land mass in Antiquity, then also five in Exploration, leading to eight in the last age. Well, does that mean that as Exploration begins, all five are still on the same land mass as they were in Antiquity? Do some of the five get moved to what you would think would be the New World across the seas? Or is Exploration a race by the five on the original land mass competing to take over more of a previously unexplored New World? Then, in the last age, the three new civs that join the game in that age, are plopped down in the New World? As successor civs to civs that notionally started in the New World, but, since the map didn't have the New World in Antiquity, all of that is notional backstory? That concept would be that, say, Brazil or Mexico, are new civs that appear only in the last age, and their prehistory in the two earlier ages is purely notional. Maybe, say, the Aztec are in Exploration, but only as a city-state, and then they get promoted to the new civ of Mexico for the last age, but only if certain things happen to the Aztec city-state in the Exploration age? Or do the three new civs represent successor states to the Old World powers, sort of like the US as a successor state to GB, that breaks off from the mother country under certain conditions? Maybe that breakaway would be the second crisis, the one between Exploration and the last age. The last age could have its three new civs arise from both sources, of course, mix and match, all depending on what happens in the game during Exploration. Perhaps, if an Old World civ really expands in the New World but stalls out in the Old World, the last age could see it disappear from the original land mass, and its successor be a New World civ -- think Portugal going away and being succeeded by Brazil, or Spain by Argentina or Mexico.

[@ellie6091]

We know that the game is basically a Terra map. 5 civs start on one continent, and then the map grows and the new area is NOT inhabited by new civs. But where the additional 3 civs in Modern come from is still unknown.

[@neutralproton114]

Thanks for the interview, early bear special! Would have liked to know if console will get mouse and keyboard support! As a console player it would be a god-sent. Also if consoles will get the full range of features, for eg in Civ 6 we couldnt use the search feature. Also also, will the UI be updated? It needs a change! The focus of gray really makes distinguishing things difficult!

[@manooxi327]

Great question, well done 👍

[@sighcology]

that bit near the start where they are talking about player limits, map types and sizes being limited at launch due to support for consoles (mainly switch it seems) is the first bit of information about this game that has made me upset. the fact that they are limiting the game, making it LESS than previous games in the series because of consoles is a terrible idea and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing it. if the game doesn't work at full scale on a platform, maybe they should reconsidering releasing it for that platform ESPECIALLY when civ 6 doesn't even fucking work properly on switch.

With alliances in Civ 6 an easy fix would just be to get a renewal prompt 1 turn before the current agreement ends.

[@GraqpleRust]

It is a real technical difficulty. It would require consoles to allow sideloading mods from online libraries which would probably cause a lot of trouble. If I were a console player, I would be happy to play the game, if that isn't enough, buy a PC.

I am quite interested in what sort of civilizations will be available due to the new age/ civilization system. I am Polish so I can’t help but be intrigued by what sort of a path one can expect to become a Polish civilization for example. Will there be a Slavic civilization? If I am aiming to play as Poland and my friend is aiming for Russia will there be problems in choosing the same common ancestor, Slavs? I think it would be very fun to begin as the Sarmatians of antiquity or alternatively the Scythians as they are sorta similar and already present in Civ 6, then transition into Slavs and eventually into Poles. This would be an interesting way to incorporate Polish Sarmatian origin beliefs that were believe during Commonwealth times. There is a lot of great possibilities, but I fear that it will fall short of my expectations.
