Angry Joe Show playthrough/review

[Klaus Hergersheimer]

He may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I always found him genuine, and he's never afraid to play many different genres enough to give them their due credit.
In short, he's disappointed with Civ 7:

- can't read the UI. Looks unfinished in parts.
- tech tree confusing
- combat animations go too fast (?)
- can't rename cities
- does your character speak during diplomacy? His do not.
- new ages reset all wars, diplomacy (?)
- there seems to be a final age which is unavailable right now
- my question that he didn't ask: if you change civilizations, how do you know which color banners are yours for your units? Do you have to keep track of that?
- way too expensive for 70 bucks.

For me, I pulled the trigger too early on Humankind and I will not be doing that again. So, see you in a year, maybe.
But my tummy's a little full with Civ 5 right now. (And 6 can go fly a kite). Firaxis will have to iron out quite a few bumps in 7 before I commit.

- UI can easily be fixed, and hopefully will be a huge focus with the upcoming major updates
- How is the Tech Tree confusing? I find it quite straight forward. It's simpler as well.
- Meh, I like that they go fast.
- On the list of things they will add
- No it doesn't, but it never did, it's just it's now visible this time around more.
- Diplomacy isn't reset, but the overall sum is sort of averaged into the next, if you're hostile in the previous age you will remian hostile in the new, if you're friendly, you will remain friendly, all the modifiers are basically reset.
- Your color never changes, your color is tied to your leader, not your civilization.
