Civ 7 Countdown

[Haig]

There is saying (at least around here) that death settles all sleep debts.

So maybe you are Finnish?

While I'm a preorder sinner, I couldn't bring myself to splurge for more than the standard edition.

The pricing is crazy for what the upcoming DLC seem to provide. As an integrated "season pass", it's a bit of a joke sprinkled with FOMO trinkets and baubles.

Man...prepping for release day sure looks different when you're middle-aged with kids. Civ6 released when I was in my 20s, sans children.

I expect I'm where you were when Civ 6 released, and by the time of Civ 8 I'll be where you are now. When Civ 6 released I was finishing school, now as Civ 7 launches I'm married and living on another continent entirely.

Last night re-watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail as a relief from all things Civ.

Found myself contemplating what kind of Exploration Age unit the Knights That Say 'Ni' would be.

Gave up.

That unit upgrades to the Knights that say "Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing!".

I'll admit that I was a bit of two minds on that as well, but in the end I figured that I'll want to buy all leader and civ content anyway, so I might as well buy the bundle and save a few bucks. Even if I don't like the way they handle it.

Counting down by the hour? Geeze... seems a bit much for adults like us...

At any rate... I got back from my road trip early and am done for the day... what should I do for the next 9hrs 53mins?

The funny thing is that not pre-ordering, but buying the deluxe edition, is probably the most sane move. This way, you aren't FOMO'd into pre-ordering a digital game. If you are already committed to waiting until Feb 11, you can just wait to see how things shake out, then buy the deluxe edition (or not) and still get all the content (since the preorder content is included).

Founder's edition is an eye-watering $189 CAD with sales tax. That is almost double the cost of the standard edition. I never considered it until discovering that I could buy it on Fanatical for 12% off and no sales tax (effectively 25% off).

So, I paid $43 CAD for some jokes, trinkets, and baubles. Maybe worth it, maybe I'll never buy a full-price digital game ever again. Time will tell.

Did I misunderstand something? Founders gives you also 4 civs, 4 wonders, 2 leaders etc. in upciming dlc that is included

9 hours!

Time to go to bed, when I'll wake up hopefully I'll have my key from GMG and will be able to start downloading

I got a Steam giftcard for Christmas, so my Founders was subsidized by around 40% Regardless, I'm happy to know I'll just be getting everything through September without having to think more about it, and as a modder it's always better to have everything in order to maximize modding capability.

I can't remember ever looking forward so much to not buying a game.

[Dark_Jedi06]

Downloaded the Steam app and left my PC on running Steam so I can start the download remotely and it'll be ready to go when I got home from work tonight. Feeling a bit woozy too, definitely gonna be sick tomorrow.

Oh, how strange, so many people suddenly becoming "ill"... what a strange coincidence!

Not quite all the content. Deluxe includes the first batch of extra leaders and civs (Crossroads of the World), but only the Founder's Edition includes the later so far unknown pack, Right to Rule.

 

[Albertan Civfanatic]

I will be taking several naps this evening then load the game and mess around with the tutorial and graphics settings. I won't do a serious playthrough until Friday evening/Saturday.

While it's not officially released, the right to rule content has been datamined through the Epic Games store version.

While anything like that could still change, that means as far as we know Right to Rule is: Genghis Khan, Lakshmibai (leaders); Assyria, Dai Viet, Qajar, Silla (civs)
