Hey all! Firaxis' new CM here, reporting for duty 🫡 I introduced myself in the New Members thread yesterday, but for those who didn't catch it - hello, I'm Sarah (or Sar)! 😊 I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and providing more of a two-way communication between Civ players and our dev team!

This month, we've got some major updates for Civ fans, including a Gameplay Showcase featuring a 20+ min gameplay deep dive on August 20! The Firaxis team has been working hard behind the scenes on Civilization VII, so we're excited to finally peel back the curtain.

Check out the full note from our developers here: https://civilization.2k.com/news/civilization-vii-gameplay-showcase-august-20/


TL;DR, mark your calendars for:
  • Gamescom Opening Night Live Civilization VII Gameplay Reveal Trailer - 🗓️ August 20 at Twitch.tv/gamescom at 11:00 AM PT / 8:00 PM CEST
  • Civilization VII Gameplay Showcase, featuring over 20+ minutes of gameplay details - 🗓️ August 20 at Twitch.tv/FiraxisGames at 1:30 PM PT / 10:30 PM CEST

Also, forgive all the links, but I DO want to plug the Civ socials too, because they're a great place to keep up-to-date on all things Civ:

X | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Facebook | Twitch

We can't wait to show you all Civilization VII! August is only the beginning, so please expect to hear more from me soon. Also, if you're going to Gamescom or PAX West - come say hi!

Glad to hear that!

I really appreciate it when developers take the time to interact with the community.

And no, I very explicitly do not mean that as a euphemism for designing based on the wishes of a small subset of the player base. There's a reason us community members aren't working as game designers.
 
Welcome to the CivFanatics Sanatorium, where the inmates run the place.

Be warned: as an 'official' Firaxian, even your punctuation will launch speculation about aspects of the new game . . .

From the "welcome new members" thread :
As we lead up to some very exciting news for Civ VII, my goal as your new CM is to keep you up-to-date with all the latest info, listen to your feedback, and ensure your voices are heard. I've been a longtime lurker here, on Discord, Reddit, and more, but I'm eager to dive even deeper into the community and start routing all the great content, feedback, and cool ideas straight to our dev team. They're excited as I am to add this role to the team and make Civ VII something you can really look forward to as a community. And... you should know that your ideas and feedback have already had an impact on the game, and I'm excited for you to see what that looks like as we give more info.
That's good to hear.

Welcome Sarah ! (Is that you on the photo ? [EDIT : sorry I probably went too personnal, don't answer that question])

No, no, it's an indicator that one of the first Civs offered in the game will be:

The Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary

And, in keeping with a near-complete rework of the Leader concept, the Leader for the Dual Monarchy will be:

Sigmund Freud

Whose work led to the discovery of Schizophrenia, so that one Leader will give us two completely different sets of Uniques and Attributes!

Remember, you heard it here first . . .
 
Information on the PAX West panel:


Panelists:
Greg Miller [Host]
Ed Beach [Creative Director]
Dennis Shirk [Executive Producer]
Jason Johnson [Senior Art Director]
Andrew Johnson [Senior Historian]

1. I doubt psychanalisis contributed to define schizophenia, as this is a very modern definition of mental decease along with depression and bipolarity, not to mention that it's a domain strongly subject to belief as one can believe one can go through walls. (I do :D)
2. Schizophrenia has nothing to do with anything dual, you must be mixing up with the syndrome of multiple personnalities.

Ed, Dennis and Andrew back for another iteration, I see. Was Jason with us in 6 too? I don't remember.
 
Any chance of setting up a Bluesky account for those of us no longer on Twitter?

Imma be honest, never even heard of this before. I imagine something like Mastodon or Telegram would come first, as more well-known Twitter alternatives. Assuming they intend to diversify at all.
