I’m generally a fan of how the culture game works in Civ VII, but it’s definitely not perfect. Miles better than V’s Utopia Project at least. I’m curious what the community thinks can be done for it in the next game, by the time the last expansion is released.
Personally I’d want them to retain a lot of its core features while expanding on some of its end game concepts.
I’d like to see a Cinema building that lets you slot in Great Writing and a Great Music to form a Film. Films would generate twice the amount of the combined resources of the Great Writing and Great Music and generate amenities/happiness. Films stop existing once either Great Work are removed from the Cinema.
A Hollywood wonder (built on mountains, have river, desert, hills, grassland and a Cinema) in your city) that lets you combine Great Writing and Great Music to form a Film like the Cinema would. It would also unlock the project “Create Blockbuster” which would generate two copies of the Blockbuster great work. This great work would function in the same way as a luxury and could also be slotted into cinemas to generate bonus resources for the owner and offensive culture/tourism for the creator. This could be done multiple times.
Rock Bands would be broken down into multiple types of Pop Musicians. Rock Bands would function in a similar way, and be the main way of generating offensive culture. Folk Duos would be the defensive version of Rock Bands, and would generate loyalty in your cities and increase war weariness in civs at war with you. DJs would be a science victory focused Pop Musician and would generate science and culture every time they perform. Popstars would be a growth focused pop musician that would generate food in cities they perform in (because of people getting hot and bothered by the likes of Madonna and Justin Bieber or what have you, this one’s a stretch, but mechanically it makes sense). Pop Musicians would have a fixed amount of charges, but could be increased with the Motown/Abbey Road wonder. They would also be built with culture, not faith. This would all be a means of giving musician units a purpose beyond winning culture victory.
Keep the interaction between corporations and offensive culture, as a way to represent the influence of mass market goods’ role in cultural hegemony, but maybe tweak the values a bit. Corporations should produce finished goods though, and not trade in raw materials, but that’s just window dressing tbh.
