Civ Ideas & Suggestions Not-Worth-Their-Own-Thread

[Wardog]

I would like to see again in VII a moving spy on the map (II), the global relations panel (III and IV) and the globe view (IV).

I still hold my copium that civ7 is going to oppose recent strategy games stubborn fixation with getting rid of all fun ingame statistics, rankings, postgame maps and graphs and replays etc. WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT IT'S SO FUN AND REQUIRES SUCH LOW DEV EFFORT TO INCLUDE

If once agin we get a civ game with no proper "fun statistical comparision between civs" panel I may get motivated enough to learn modding just to add it, but hopefully some skilled modder is going to precede me in that grim task

Also, the pettiest of complaints: if we get replay timelapses post game showing how the map evolved in time, it would be really great if it didn't follow the horrible idea "not just land but also water tiles get colored according to the ownership", hence making the maps completely lose their purpose. Like imagine if in the real world countries like Greece or Indonesia were just displayed as round blobs due to all their internal seas being given the color of their lands.

Just going to leave this beautiful thing here...

Wait. I indeed want this as an easily togable option, sometimes it's cool to see really owned "land", or rather map, including oceans. Just to stick with the actual big real map you know. (but it may be useful especially ingame)

As to realism I don't think that the topic, since nations in reality don't really have sea territory, they are shared by several at best by accords and such. Maybe something to consider for Civ8 ? That links to my idea of "Civ3 corruption according to the shape of the land" too. Sure tiles expanding on land rather than on sea is a good step in the right direction, but I could see a comeback of Civ3 corruption that could be useful for "peninsula" starts or something like that, or in a mod.
