Le Monde: change everything, but the essence stays, a winning strategy (French)

[The_J]

The French newspaper Le Monde has published a review about Civ7 (in French).
The overall attitude is positive.

Their conclusions (via google translate):

We liked:

• the depth of a very complete game without being too complex;
• the important role taken by diplomacy as well as its mechanisms.

We liked less:

• the lack of information on many aspects of the game;
• the management of combats with commanders, who now take experience alone;
• the impossibility, or almost, of preventing espionage.

It's more for you if...

• you liked Civilization VI and are open to new things;
• you swear by turn-based;
• you don't fear sleepless nights.

It's not for you if...

• you liked Civilization VI and are not open to new things;
• you find that the shortest games are the best;
• your historian's sensitivity makes the sight of Paris founded by a Persian king, with its Brandenburg Gate, surrounded by the Great Wall of China, unbearable.

I mean, any Civ is not for you if this is true:

your historian's sensitivity makes the sight of Paris founded by a Persian king, with its Brandenburg Gate, surrounded by the Great Wall of China, unbearable.
