Civilization VII Dev Diary #8: Victories & Post-Launch

I’m bummed that Teams multiplayer won’t be in from the beginning, but I’m really grateful that Ed shared this was on their to-do list.

Great to hear for folks who like Hotseat too that it’s coming back.

Thanks for the post.
Two of the best things to come out of the livestream is confirmation Hotseat has become a semi-priotity/important enough to be brought back, and the fact that multiplayer games actually simulate relationships between humans for the first time ever (well, not counting Rising Tides)
 
You're not building a Building or Wonder in other players' capitals. The Great Banker performs an "Establish World Bank Office" action in those capitals, which all players are able to do if they have their own Great Banker unit. Let me know if that clears it up!
Perfect !
My bad for misunderstanding in the first place :hammer2:
 
I think the victory projects are pretty similar to each other. Even the economic one. It's just a slight delay so your opponents have time to cope with the reality that they will lose their game in a few turns. Or to give them time to start their ICBMs...
 
I have to say, "Staffed Space Flight" sounds very weird. Manned Space Flight is the right terminology, but I suspect this is an awkward attempt to make the term genderless.

Might as well just call the thing "Space Flight" and dispense with the hair-splitting about the invisible astronauts piloting the rocket. It's not like the Flight technology has ever been called Manned Flight in Civ.

There exists a gender neutral standard, "crewed," it just seems as if the devs are not aware of it.

It's funny that it says Staffed, but the text description says "First man in space". So much for being gender neutral. Crewed is definitely better.

The only quibble with 'crewed' is that it implies that the people on board actually have anything to do with flying the craft. In fact, the early astronauts and cosmonauts were purely passengers: all decisions and actions regarding what happened to the craft were made from the ground.

"Cargo', 'passengers' or even 'victims' would be more accurate . . .
 
Manned is gender neutral, we use “manned” and “unmanned” for aircraft irl. I don’t think saying first manned space flight would make people terribly upset.
Not anymore.
 
The amount of time wasted on a dumb discussion whether it's manned, staffed, crewed...this is Civ 7 in a nutshell to me....just look at the DEI leaders/civs....goodness, if they had only spent more time on the UI or the cluttered unreadable map
