    Checking in from the dev team: next update coming later this month!

    I don't think that they "have to," but I believe that existing resources have them, so they would be a normal part of the addition of new resources. But to be honest, I pay no attention whatsoever to the text in the narrative events. The game has trained me that they are irrelevant, so I just...

    Did Civ 7 make Civ 6 an "old" game?

    Civ6 was old before Civ7 even released. 😅

    Would only modern Civ's be fun?

    Civilization's mechanics tend to become less authentic the later you get in the timeline, so if you're looking for a game with all modern nations, there are much, much better options out there than Civilization.

    At what difficulty level do you play Civ 7 (Poll)

    You just need to build units early to prepare for the inevitable attack and turtle a little bit until the initial waves are over... and after that the AI isn't any harder on Immortal than Sovereign. You only need about four or five units together with the Commander you get for free with the...

    Rumor about why the UI is the way it is.

    That film journalists are nearly as corrupt is hardly any defense of game journalists. Fortunately both are becoming increasingly irrelevant, especially as regards reviews.

    Rumor about why the UI is the way it is.

    Game "journalism" these days is far too based on access and quid-pro-quo for any kind of expose to be published, except in a case where the development studio has already closed its doors. Nobody who had been granted inside access to a studio would dare publish anything uncomplimentary, lest...

    AI sometimes has a "this offer is only good now" approach

    ...as if getting enemy cities for free is not exploitable...

    Rumor about why the UI is the way it is.

    I was responding to the original post of the thread, not to your post. I did not quote you or refer to your post.

    Rumor about why the UI is the way it is.

    Does it really matter? "When the bullet hits your skull, what will it matter why??"

    AI sometimes has a "this offer is only good now" approach

    Yes. Frequently when the AI offers a deal, any alteration you make to the deal will result in the offer being rejected, even if you return it to what was originally offered. (Tip: when this happens you can load an autosave and be re-offered the deal.) I don't know whether this is intentional...

    If commanders die near end of age, they don't respawn?

    The one time I had a Commander die was near the end of an Age. The Commander respawned in the next Age, but with no promotions.

    Is Civ VII most boring version?

    The lack of map types, the lack of variability within the single available type, and the lack of map options really doesn't help replayability.

    Little questions & answers thread

    I don't disagree at all. I just find the notion that Firaxis would give the DLC civs away for free to be amusing.

    Can't seem to choose number of AI players

    I think there is a minimum and maximum number of players based on map size, but the UI doesn't do a very good job of communicating this.

    You're joking, right? 😅
