The one thing that made Religion more fun in Civ4 than in Civ6 was that it was a much bigger factor in your society pre-Renaissance. The "conflict" between State & Non-State religions, both internally and externally, was actually fun to manage. In all other areas, though, Civ4 religion is...

Technically, that is what Independent Cities (Rise and Fall) was meant to portray, but the mechanic is a bit under-developed IMHO. It's yet another area I hope they improve on and deepen in Civ7.

The seven exclamation points seem to suggest Civ 7. Either way, I suspect we'll know for certain after March 15th.

The main issue I ever had with Civ6's Governments and Social Policies was the relative ease with which you could change both. Changing either should be fairly difficult/painful...& not merely at the treasury level. Perhaps a Civ-wide loss of Amenity/Housing (or its Civ7 equivalents) for several...

Removing City Health was one of the things I most disliked about CiV. I also disagree about there being nothing to gain from trading bonus resources outside of food, if Bonus Resources provided benefits to your empire, depending on how many copies of the resource you have.

Not exactly like it was in Civilization IV, but I think it was on the right track. Prior to the Industrial Era, I believe that having different State Religions should give you a smallish diplomatic penalty. However, it shouldn't degrade over time unless the other Civ does something to provoke it...

Oh yes, would love to see Bonus Resources be more meaningful at an Empire Wide scale again. I always was disappointed by the lack of a City Health system like we had in Civ IV.

True, I barely even dabbled in CiV until after G&K got released. Then got well and truly hooked with BNW. Civ6 had me almost from day 1.

I went with Stylized, but I admit I wouldn't object to a CiV art style either.

So, my short-list of things I'd love to see in Civ VII would be: 1) Merge Barbarians and City-States into a single, third-party entity (Independent Peoples, Minor Civilizations, whatever you want to call them). 2) Bring back Civilization IV's "State Religion" Mechanic, in terms of its effects...

Really? Religion is one of my favourite parts of the game, or it would be if there was greater emphasis on its vital historical role.

I am predicting that Civilization VII will drop around October-November of this year. Though that may just be wishful thinking on my part ;).

My fondest hope is that they will be able to fully integrate some of the most fun aspects of the New Frontier Pass into the main game-like Barbarian Clans & Monopolies, Industries & Corporations. Indeed, when it comes to Barbarian Clans, I am hopeful that they will consider completely blurring...

One thing that the Civilization Franchise has largely lacked is a Robust Event System, so I'd love to see them look to games like Old World and Humankind, which both have fantastic Event Systems. That'd be great for RPG players like us.

If you check out the 50-51 minute mark of this video, you do see frequent references to March. Again, I could be reading too much into it, but at the time it got me thinking that a Civ7 announcement might be incoming in 2023 (especially as new versions of the franchise tend to launch around 5-6...

It might be unrelated but, back when they announced the Leader Pass, last November, they kept making a big deal about The Ides of March (which, IIRC, was the final month of the Leader Pass), so I had a strong suspicion that 15th of March was when we'd get a Civ 7 announcement. Who knows, we...

Sadly, I am far less inclined to play the game as long as the Monopolies add-on remains totally bugged (and before anyone asks, yes I have tried several mods that claim to fix it, but its only ever a partial fix at best-which is understandable given the inability of modders to make changes to...

To be fair, in my 6 years of playing, the "luxury bug" is the only game-breaking bug I have encountered. What makes it so infuriating though, is that it sounds like it would take less than 4 lines of code to fix it.

Ah, didn't realise that. Sad that I only learned this when I am already up to the Industrial Era of my current game! I am actually tempted to send my builders into AI territory to see if I can upgrade their luxuries myself 😉
