Civilization 7 is CHANGING SCIENCE, TECH & CULTURE!

lets hope civ 7 gives us what went right with civ 5 and 6

[@zondor8123]

I don't even remember 6 exist, that's just how bad 6 is

[@Sudokari]

​@zondor8123 we all have our own views on it, districts made 6 better imo, and the dlcs fixed a lot of things, but both have major flaws, 4 was better imo.

[@ahmadashraf9448]

@@Sudokari funny because districts are what made 6 worse for me.

[@Sudokari]

@ahmadashraf9448 thats weird. 1 tile cities were always really limiting to me.

[@austincox4691]

Thank you for making these videos. Good stuff. Video idea I had for you: I (along with much of your audience) am a big civ 5 player but have found it difficult to get myself into civ 6. This is due to many reasons like UI, graphics, etc. You should make a video for your audience that are civ 5 players on what we would/should love about civ 6. Looking at the 2 games side by side, what civ 6 improved upon and brought back from civ 5. And where you prefer civ 5 and what you miss abt that game.

subscribed! Wish you the best achieving 10k+ before civ 7! I am so excited

[@darkemperor418]

The only UI I’ve seen on a 4x game that has revolutionised is Old World the information pop ups is if you hover over something and get a pop up you can hold down a button and hover inside its box to bring up another pop up about what you hovered over and hold a button again to bring up another pop up hovering over something else and so on. It’s quite cool

[@xBINARYGODx]

seriously? that game has mixed steam reviews and most of the negatives mention the UI as a problem - and so do some of the positive reviews.

[@MrUbister]

I love the way the map graphics look especially the ocean but UGH that UI, the icons are some weird pastel color theme that blend with every surface they could be on, and why would you use huge grey boxes if youre gonna fill it with a tiny Times New Roman text

[@Neberheim]

UI is usually the last part of development, after everything else has been worked on since the final gameplay will dictate how the UI needs to function. It’s minimally viable to facilitate development gameplay

[@TheBonzobonzo]

I’m guessing part of development still?

Can we please just get a civ 5 remastered

[@Gigi-zr6hp]

Nah , a Civ 4 or Alpha Centauri remaster is miles / light years better than Civ 5

[@sl796]

Oh my god, the UI is bad. Devs, please for the love of god, do a side-by-side comparison of the Civ 6 and Civ 7 UI and make adjustments.

[@eenayeah]

I literally cannot use dark mode on any screen for more than 1 minute. My eyes and head begin killing me. I sure do hope they at least give a light version since EVERY SINGLE THING seems to be in black.

[@Maksymetzmj]

Mastery sounds like a great way to improve techs and culture if you haven't had a necessary tech boost or eureka completed yet for the next tech or culture moment

[@SimCityEA1989]

I love this game and I'm excited for it. I can't wait for it! I know some people are complaining about the UI and Unit Scales, Unit Scales on Army Units seem fine, Naval needs to be tuned down a bit, and the UI, definitely needs an overhaul. Though i believe the UI is a theme asthetic that will match with whatever theme you put on, which will be affected by the map tiles aesthetic. So a bit of customization there! Though i must state this, Unit Scales and UI can be fixed at the end. I personally don't care for it at the moment, they have more pressing matters to deal with. In fact, if the people paid attention to the live stream, they would see that towards the end, their was a glitch when declaring war, it broke moving any units, so we couldnt see mass naval combat as we were promised unfortunately. I'd rather they fix that before polishing the UI. Priorities Peoples, Priorities

[@TheLokap360]

Units are way too big, that’s my only real issue so far

Is it just me or does the UI look like it was made in 5 minutes

[@abcdefgh5808]

[@JumboPixel]

Certainly not just you. It’s one of the most *common* complaints I hear - and in my humble opinion, not wrong. Though I do like a minimal design, I feel some parts need some real loving.

[@austincox4691]

[@mstrmorgana]

[@perferstrategy]

Hey @jumbopixel I thought I commented on here randomly long time ago but couldn't see my comment. Thats allgoods. Since your a 4X guru and all that. Are you able to do a Review on Zephon, Sci-fi Post apocalypse. May not be your type of game but I just wanted to know your thoughts on it. Especially knowing your from NZ. Be cool to get a familiar opinion from you. It just released on steam :) Asking as a humble civilian Kind regards

[@michaelkrantz462]

My question is if the increased production cost applies to everything like it did in Civ VI. (ie each time you produce a builder, it costs more-in my opinion the worst decision in Civ VI.)

[@Cekes119]

has anything been said around game speed? Civ 6 marathon felt so unbalanced/neglected or worse than civ 5 marathon

[@TheCrazierz]

I loved marathon in civ4. But I couldn't like it in 6 for some reason

[@TheCarloCarlone]

So basically "leaf tech" from civ beyond earth. (Yes, you had a research "tree" and research "leaves" attached to the main branches)

[@nicheva417]

Science always annoyed me a bit because you kind've need all of it which makes the choices a bit arbitrary at times.

[@aguy6641]

It does but early you can go after certain techs first. I'm not sure adding a 2 or 3 beside something is expanding it.

[@nicheva417]

@ they need tech bleed /exposure - if you interact with a nation with a tech - it slowly completes. That way you don’t have to research animal husbandry when you have tanks. And can pursue advanced things better.

[@baconboy12]

Civilisation 8 will come out after and cities skylines 2 still won’t be finished

[@TheCrazierz]

Skylines 3 will come(unfinished) and skylines 2 will still be bad

[@Gigi-zr6hp]

Paradox games have a supported life of 10 years so yeah it's normal

[@gpm8771]

I feel like it really doesn’t look that bad…. I’d rather them spend the bulk of their time on making a good game if they have time constraints than have a bad game and gorgeous UI

[@darkorion69]

I wonder if while you chase Masteries, will the AI just roll past you cranking out units and vomiting citoes all over the map...while you get good boats?

[@aguy6641]

If the AI is like the civ 6 AI it will barely upgrade it's units so you won't have to worry about it.

[@godofwar8954]

Talk about a UI that will put you to sleep sheesh. Praying they change this and if not hopefully a modded will be able to fix it if they won’t listen to the majority of fans saying it looks bland and ugly.

[@Chemiker94]

If the age advances before you finish techs in the tree do you just lose access to those techs?

[@markos50100]

Only the special civ specific civics. Since all other tech doesn't really carry over directly. On the next age, you will have all the old tech even if you didn't research it, but it will most likely be unusable.

[@josdelijster4505]

the master option in the tech tree is the first thing of 7 i see that is not directly ripped from the competition.. i still think this version of civ seems to be to mch scripted with pe the crisis system and others.. the creativity of this dev team seems to be aimed at how the game looks not on the game play....

[@ScottLufkin]

This sounds better and better but the UI is so flat and boring - maybe I'm just playing too much Age of Wonders 4.

[@joaoneves2493]

Can my surface pro 8 run civ 7?

[@TheCrazierz]

Oh my sweet summer child

[@aguy6641]

So they just regurgitate the policies and put a 2 or 3 beside them awesome.

[@petros-v4w]

the question is whether we can be able to play tall at last

[@111sam1]

Having to research shipbuilding twice just to be able to send settlers over ocean is a huge investment in order to play wide on a non Pangea map

[@rdm3990]

Here are my bets for the remaining 3 Exploration Era civs: Holy Roman Empire, Kievan Rus/Russia, Japan. What are yours?

[@juretic6038]

I am really worried how this will be in multiplayer

[@holdi2936]

So much wasted potential by only having like 3 national civics. It's a nice Idea but presenting this large scale as a big tree and then talking about how they tested out how many nodes where good and whatnot feels like a joke tbh. I really hope that they expand massively on this feature in future updates...

[@aguy6641]

Game developers always do less and tell you it's way more.

[@aguy6641]

Why shouldn't they release a quality game day 1 instead of having to add things?

[@gimirubin1236]

Well ill wait a year or two after release and then pick up for reasonable price

[@michawozniak5492]

If the AI will be bad at utilizing the mechanics CIV7 will be a shitshow on wheels.

[@Ryecrash617]

I must be getting old as I'm not excited about the majority of the changes.

[@mahadevovnl]

The UI looks horrid, like a 12-year old who found Photoshop for the first time and is making gradients and drop shadows but doesn't understand consistent margins, paddings, depth, light source direction, typography, alignment... It's not just bland and outdated, but it's just objectively and subjectively bad. Ironically, the GAME itself looks great, including those hexagonal cloud of war tiles. Those look great. Just the UI, darn. I hope this is all something they'll refine over the next few months. Though I'm guessing they'll dumb it down for consoles and mobile devices.

It still feels bland without the builder mini game. most of your turns will just get skipped until you discover a tech for example or run into a barb problem. The fact you could boost your production through chopping was VITAL to get certain wonders and made the game so much deeper
