Civ 7's BEST new features!

[@ryanrevland4333]

I've started many games this past month...finished zero. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget, but I'm ready to ascend.

[@TheLoops73]

Over the years I've started 100s of games and probably finished 1% of them lol

[@Quincius]

I feel ya, hopefully the civ transitioning mechanic encourages me to finish more of my games.

[@Servalandark]

🙂Yes, is it because you get too bored with it? I do, i tend restart after 12th century.

[@TheLoops73]

@@Servalandark yup..either I'm way ahead of way behind and don't want to play another 10 hours to see it play out. I think these new ages will change that.

[@Shatoswolfdemon]

My biggest source of hype with this game is having legit reason to play naval games. In civ 6 I felt navy took such a backseat to the gameplay that I never enjoyed any games that weren't pangea because the second you had to interact with water it was just like an after thought. This time I feel like hitting the second age you can put so much more emphasis on crossing the water, exploring and aquiring new land and treasures to the point it is mostly the emphasis of that age with slight exceptions. It feels like we finally get an age of civ 7 where civs that play coastal regions and across islands will be such a smart way to play that I can not wait to see how many games can be played with a naval heavy focus.

[@TheAncientBarbarian]

What I seen you get to time of exploration and finally get to the water take off to find out that the other civs started on the other land mass so not really some great new land to just settle etc. And your ships take damage in deep ocean and can only move a single tile at a time in it. Feel like anyone that focuses on ships in exploration I’m going to take all of their homeland on the original continent. Basically think you have to hope AI sucks to have that be a good strategy. Sounded interesting until I seen the other civs actually started there, so was no “new world” to explore/settle.

[@redpandaluver8561]

Yes!!!! Me as well!! I'm quitequite excited for it!

[@Zimionz]

It does sound interesting. However, whether or not I'm going to enjoy naval gameplay in civ 7 will be directly dependent on the quality of the AI. Civ 6 would have been a lot more enjoyable, if the AI actually build and used ships. Since it didn't there simply was no need to build more than a few ships for exploration and coastal defense (against barbarians). The AI in civ 6 was dumb as a brick, I'm hoping for some MAJOR improvements.

[@zuephillips3450]

I am glad they kept the roads looking like shit

[@TheOrionZane]

lol

[@jadencasto]

Overall, I am cautiously optimistic about the vast majority of changes for Civ 7. The changes are designed to overcome a lot of the issues with Civ 6 and previous Civ games - late game micro, burnout, and often being unnecessary and boring as who would win was already essentially decided; having Civs that are basically just vanilla Civs during various portions of the game; and, specific to Civ 6, settler spam always being the best strategy. With that being said, the execution is everything! If well executed, this has the potential to be the best Civ game ever; but it also has the potential to fall flat. I just can’t wait to get the game and see for myself!

[@mkgibertjr]

I think that this game will be strictly better than Civ 6, and that's not just my favorite Civ game, but is also my favorite video game ever

[@friedrice7]

The one feature I want is AI that understands how to use air units. Id prefer AI that don't need to cheat to win, but I realize that's probably asking for too much.

[@kiranearitachi]

They said the ai will use air units now because of how tech trees reset

[@DrPooks]

Is Saxy a nuclear physicist yet?

[@Zimionz]

I'm certainly gonna miss them, along with having direct control over where exactly a road is being placed. But that hasn't been a thing since civ 5.

[@GuessIIIwho]

Tbh I was mixed for 3 eras. However it feels those will be MUCH deeper. Each feels like a real major step. It was nice in Civ 6 but now I feel it'll be a lot bigger and there will be much more to do within each area. I don't mind not having information era for now if each era is worked deeper

[@blam320]

It’s very likely that a fourth era will be added as DLC. Which IMO is suboptimal, but we are already getting three entirely self-contained eras.

[@Nrvll12]

I'll be playing this probably after the first year or two. They like to release half the game and let us bug test and fix it. Then they release the fun part of the game for a lot of extra money, that we will still need to bug test and fix for them. I just want to play the completed version while knowing what that is actually going to cost.

[@CrypticHubris]

After what Take2 did to KSP2, this is a very smart move.

[@commanderwyn]

You're crazy for this lol.

[@bigturboweenie]

i on the other hand cannot simply wait another year after all the updates when I'm pretty much tired of CIV 6. I will be getting this day 1 and will go through all the hiccups, while also enhancing my skills as new updates release. sorry, but this game just looks to beautiful to wait a year after its release.

[@el7griego]

Seems you want the perfect package for free. The team has put years of time and resources into this game, so it would only be fair if we pay for it, also for new content.

[@Morgotth1916]

100 % this "Civ" is a con withheld content, a meta and a disgusting cash grab . Best wait to see if console game does not flop

[@iammaxhailme]

honestly im going to really miss builders/workers

[@chrishelton20]

I'll miss them for 1 turn maybe.

[@Zimionz]

Me too. And I have yet to encounter somebody who thinks workers are too much busywork. Yet that claim seems to float everywhere. To me, deciding where to place a road, whether to chop down forests or to construct a forrestry, where to build mines, fields etc is a central aspect of any civilization game. Pitty they decided to get rid of it.

[@jadencasto]

I will miss them in the first third to half the game, but I will rejoice to see their exclusion in the second half to 2/3.

[@bruceh9780]

Thank god for returning Tall builds and less busy work. I only ever played on Tiny maps in Civ VI, otherwise I'd get to late game and just kind of give up trying to manage 87 cities.

[@FelixIsGood]

Wdym, i could easily do tall builds in Civ6, if we are talking about the same.

[@kiranearitachi]

​@@FelixIsGood exactly tall Is just 8 cities in 6 that's still tall

[@PaxKishania]

This is such a lazy myth. Civ6 does not make vast sprawling empires more valid than playing tall. Building tall empires is just as competitive on Deity as building wide, it's just that you can no longer sit with 1-2 cities spamming wonders all game -- which apparently some people haven't got over yet.

[@FelixIsGood]

@@PaxKishania But you can do it with 4-5 cities easily! ;-) I love spamming wonders.

[@dutyfreeadventures5924]

​@@PaxKishania You can play tall but it's significantly harder, with a higher skill floor. You can't really claim new resources without placing a full city to collect it. The city might be unimportant and not your focus but it is still necessary to claim land and resources. With Civ 7 you can claim land via towns that act as a hub without adding an additional city

[@MaxHardcore-p7t]

Civ 7 has nice ideas. However, Denuvo, pricing and underdeveloped base game puts the game back on "I'll wait"

[@Emiltat]

I agree on denuvo and soemwhat pricing(with inflation the deluxe edition cost the same as civ 1) however the base game is far from under developed . It have alot more than any other civ base game so far

[@MaxHardcore-p7t]

@Emiltat Limited civs and players per age, which decrease iterations. Most game will feel the same. Game ends at 1950/60's. No thanks.

[@Emiltat]

@MaxHardcore-p7t that doesnt mean its underdeveloped. I do agree the player amount per age should be higher. There is nothing bad that the game ends during th 1960. As long as each age plays well and unique. The civ games usually dont anything interresting afterwards anyway. And also, all the games in current civs plays the sam way now anyway

[@MaxHardcore-p7t]

@Emiltat Admitting ages are done and behind paywall is underdeveloped. Release them with basegame

[@Antonio-lt1sp]

Same here.

[@stanislavvaldman8354]

For me Civ games are all about meditation. I've done thousands of hours in various Civ games (at least 900 in Civ 6) replaying the same scenario. I take a huge world map and play as various nations on various difficulties. That's the most important thing for me about these games and I hope they won't stuck Huge True Location earth map behind some paywall. In any case pre-bought founders edition. Hope it's worth it and they won't screw it up.

I would have preferred we made improvements to civ5 and forget 6 ever happened

[@annaairahala9462]

I hope there's army queues for new units as well, like they all move to a certain area automatically after creation depending where you set it

[@brandonsittler6145]

I simply cannot support Civ 7. The money grabbing this time around is massive. When the Devs revealed that they're not even releasing the full game at launch, I was livid. They're only releasing 3 Ages that ends in the middle of the 1900s? HARD PASS. I might buy it once the game is complete with all the Ages and leaders in a discounted bundle, but we'll see.

[@saggyflapjax]

I feel like thats not necessarily a fair statement, from what i see it looks like it is a complete game, even though it doesn’t past modern age

[@JJAB91]

Honestly I'll just wait a few years for the game to be complete and on sale. Civ 7 has completely lost me.

[@tonynussbaum]

I don't like the DLC/release structure. The game looks cool and I understand trying to make a buck, but I personally feel like if I don't have all the DLC and expansions I'm not playing the true game, so this one, unless it's just absolutely mind blowing or something, is not going to be a day one purchase,

[@stevemps11]

This is actually a comment I was gonna make. I’m gonna wait until we at least have all the eras in the game before I any money on it, but that’s not me trying to discourage anybody from getting the game on release. This is just my personal opinion.

[@Kruszcontrol]

Yeah I'll (probably) buy it when the game lets you play into the near future age like every other Civ game.

[@rush48192]

my biggest issue is you just build and expand every city the same, they really need to make it so in one city I have a massive stone production and another say lumber so during a war if I lose a city with a specific production then I am cut off from it, after every version of this game we basically have the same old thing, WAR what is it good for

[@chuknorris12]

This is how its going to work with towns- you choose a speciality when you build them- farming/fishing, mining, fort, urban , trade, religious, hub, factory

[@4thdimensionalexplorer]

Definitely waiting to buy this one.

[@mattcat83]

I hope they change unit promotions to building upgrades that makes them features of newly created units. Veterancy doesn't work very well in strategy games as it makes units too precious to lose when they should be more expendable instead.

[@Sanglant4342]

Units no longer promote. Only Generals and Admirals level up not individual units.

[@Rockhound1943]

[@dennystreet2454]

I've been patiently waiting for the CIV 7!

[@logoski589]

Is there a Civ lock option when playing against ai? Meaning the ai has to choose the most relevant leader/civ combo it can. No Uncle Ben playing Japan for instance.

[@mrLOLsir]

I believe you can choose for it to be "historic", where it will try to combo leaders with their own civs / similar civs. But with one leader and three ages, you are going to see some out of place leader/civ combos anyways..

[@Shidan174]

As I recall the AI will always pick the "historical" options for their civ/leader, if available. Obviously there will be times it can't though, if all the historical civs have been taken for instance, so you will still end up with a handful of situations like that.

[@LSOP-]

It seems most civs are locked behind decisions you've made so you can't play later civs without historically linked behavior.

03:25 the dev talking of moving 10 or 20 units as if it were a pain Back in Civ 3, we moved over 500 units a turn. At least over 200 artillery firing. This really illustrates how the game has been dumbed downed over the years to appeal to a broader fan base.

[@drandren9093]

Bro, the older civ games had less shit to do in them, the newer ones have more, nobody wants to spend 66% of their turn moving around units in a CIVILIZATION BUILDING game. If they can condense the feeling of more units into less, that's a good thing. If you like moving around units go play an RTS, cause I don't think you ever enjoyed civ, you enjoyed APM simulator lmao.

I wish they would have just merged the combat of Gladius Relics Of War with the city building aspects of civ 6. Instead they merged civ 6 with humankind =/

[@JessJungHung]

The biggest problem with Civ 6 was the removal of custom leader names and custom civs. You could no longer make up leader names or the name of the civs. This really ruined the game. Will Civ 7 fix this mess? Also, it would help a lot if they would release DLC's that has all of the possible Civ's imaginable from history. Have a WW2 DLC where you can get Stalin, Hitler, Roosevelt, Churchhill... have a Crusades DLC with Baldwin IV, Saladin, Lionheart, etc... have a Napoleon DLC... American Civil War... Biblical DLC... etc. I might be alone with this, but I wish they would bring back leader units that represent the leader and if that unit is killed or captured, then its game over. Civ III had this and it was great.

[@lioneddy]

I think the changes are not bold enough. We need a more radical change imho. For 20 years Civ is pretty much the same game. With all the DLCs, Season passes etc I dont see myself paying for a game which is not evolving. My suggestion would be (too late at this point in development I know) to make all factions assymetric. Different units, buildings, tech-tree, powers etc. That would keep it fresh for me.

[@el7griego]

I wonder if the fact that the leader you pick stays the same in all ages isn't causing the same problem you address in this vid about the civs in Civ6, that at some point in the game they are useless. For instance, if you pick Confusius as your leader, will his power still be relevant in the upcoming ages? I would have preferred to pick a new leader every time the age shifts, as you do with civs.

Best new features - no more advisors, local happiness Worst new features - towns, no builders, mixing leaders and countries, switching civilizations midgame (race to get best civs, humankind 2.0), wrongly designed policy tree, even worse than in 6 ( we all know that CIV 5 got it right), no new terrain with different elevation, hard limit on the number of cities you can have.

​@@Aegis-_- Value is denoted by what you get out of something vs its price not just the price. Just because something is cheap does not make it a good value and just because something is expensive does that make it a bad value.

I probably paid like 300 to 400 dollars for all of Civ 6 vs 60 bucks for BG3. Does that make BG3 a better value? Not even close for me, I have 250 hours in BG3 in one year and 7000 in Civ 6 over 7 years, which means Civ 6 value to me kicks the shit outta BG3 and every other game you listed, so that is what makes Civ games the best value in gaming.

Things that should have been implemented in the base game if you had any common sense. -The FREE mods by ONE PERSON for resources and CIVS are of higher quality and effort then anything Firaxis has brought out in DLC's. -AI was so dumb I thought it was basically 3 lines of code.

This is just bad advice especially for long term growth

[@_Charles_LeClerc_]

Terrible advice wtf

[@Wargasmo]

"only good things can come from this" makes me think this is a joke, haha.

[@Shatoswolfdemon]

You keep coping; the fact is that since civ revolution; these sotpped being complex strategy pc games and instead have becone simplistic casual console games with oversized ugly graphics

Most of it sounds awful :(

The people not interested in Civ 7 at launch I get, considering what we've seen for sales on previous titles a few years down the road from their release. I don't understand how people are "surprised" or "disappointed" at the game/DLC structure at this point. Civ 5 and 6 both had the exact same structure, and if you have a good memory of vanilla 6 the information era was blank space. Religion in 5 didn't exist. It's been more than a decade guys, this is where the series is and will be. I can get not liking that, but why are people surprised 😂

[@radek4634]

no. you can say whatever you want, but every game in this series was a full version. this game will end around world war 2, which means at least one dlc with the last era - end of the game. two, if they want to add a futuristic age. this game wont be finished in time for release. they also want to sell - unit skins, player interface skins, wonders, leader skins/skills and 'special cosmetic packages' (we dont even know what that is). they plan to milk players like cows (and treat us like potential thieves with denuvo) first civilization i wont buy pre-release/at launch. f them.

Was excited for civ7 but am on principle not giving woke corps my money anymore whenever I can avoid it.

Saxy's check from firaxis finally cleared bruh Civ switching is overwhelmingly silly, Egypt to Songhai is insulting to Africans. Shawnee to America is ridiculous and offensive to indigenous peoples. I would have no problem with civ switching if it was rational, i.e. Gaul -> Franks -> French Empire. But the current model is immersion breaking and feels like it is there to generate paradox level quantity of dlcs....

[@imperius88]

@@thediversifier1739 switching from Germany to Congo is also highly offensive

[@TheSaxyGamer]

I have zero sponsorships with Firaxis and I haven’t even gotten a key for Civ 7 (other creators have I believe). You can call my opinion stupid, but I’m not a paid shill haha

[@TheWarmaker01]

Civ switching could be looked at like "cultural shifts", considering that there is no nation that has survived from the bronze age and many nations though keeping the same name, like England for example, are vastly different from what they were centuries ago. All Civ leaders are a snapshot of their country at a certain time, nowhere close to representing them throughout the entirety of human history. Additionally, the people who you feel are being offended ARE being represented in the time frame of who they were instead of a 'cookie cutter' here's how they might be if no other cultural interferences came to them AND the Civilization franchise has had Mahatma Gandhi as a leader who, due to a code error, instead of be the most passivistic Civ leader became the most war mongering AND people loved it. TLDR: it's a video game, not a documentary. Take a step back and ask if its really worth getting angry over.

@@franciscoranire6381While that is true, that is a rational take. Very difficult to think any word from a content creator is actually genuine.

I love builders. Not buying game.

[@radek4634]

civilization: console edition - thats the real name of this game. everything is simplified for stupid people, there is less game than in previous parts, you can see that there will be hundreds of dlc (i still cant believe they want to sell wonders separately) and in the end it wont be civilization anymore, but more of a spinoff. at this point even beyond earth is more of a civilization than this game.

[@imperius88]

Saxy got the call

Civ7 looks like a pile of shite!
