Civilization VII - Gameplay Reveal Trailer (Gamescom Opening Night Live - 8/20) Discussion

Ho dear:


I'm not sure if HUMANKIND, BUT WITH LEADERS is the direction they should be heading.

I think making each era more unique is the way to go.

Antiquity and Age of Exploration support up to five players. The Modern Era supports up to eight players.

As a multiplayer fan, this statement worries me...

As a single player fan, this worries me even more.

I'll be disappointed if the map's gotten much smaller somehow.

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

I wonder if the shot of Cleo and Caesar arguing is a hint of the diplomacy where we will see our leaders interact with each other based on their mood towards each other?

That's just a marital spat.

I love the way the map looks. I'm slighly worried about all the comparisons to Humankind with the ages, and leaders looking like they came from Ara.

Oh, and funny that the first civ officially confirmed was the Shawnee.

What does this even entail????

 

[kaspergm]

I know I'm nitpicking now, but I can't get over the fact that Agendas made it into Civ7.

What does that even mean? Like, is the world supposed to expand the more technology progresses? Do we get special tech that inflates the map?! What is going on?!

 

[GeneralZift]

I'm going to blissfully ignore these potential red flags until I see them with my own two eyes y'all I'm in an abusive relationship with Firaxis

 

[Smity2k1]

I feel from the video that the naval game is going to be back in full force


Base game price is ok I guess... it's the founder edition that has a staggering price

According to the thing it comes with the first few DLCs/expansions. Assume those are $20-$30 each so not unreasonable. That said, I DO NOT PREORDER

 

[Gedemon]

the units look disproportionaly large though

I bet someone will try to mod that !

They come from the seas like Atlantis

I really hope it doesn't mean it's a Humankind system where there are unique civs for each era but there AREN'T AN EQUAL NUMBER OF CIVS PER ERA

Even Humankind got that right

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

What does this even entail????

What if there's a whole decolonization/revolution mechanic, which many people wanted, and new 3 civs sprout from the other empires?

Not trying to be a Debbie downer but on a scale of 10 this is an instant -4 for me. They’re really going to have to Wow me now with gameplay… the Civ switching broke immersion so bad for me that I couldn’t even stomach playing Humandkind

 

[DWilson]

I don't know, maybe I've just aged out of this kinda thing if all of these hints are so discouraging to me. Getting a similar level of disappointment to what I experienced in the (entirely different genre) Pokemon Legends Z-A announcement.

 

[SupremacyKing2]

Rule as one of many legendary leaders from throughout history and steer the course of your story by choosing a new civilization to represent your empire in each Age of human advancement.

Crap. They are doing the pick a new civ in each new era like in Humankind. I am not a big fan of that. Hopefully, civ does it better so there is a better sense of continuity from era to era.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

I know I'm nitpicking now, but I can't get over the fact that Agendas made it into Civ7.

I'm not going to worry about that quite yet considering we have no idea how any of the mechanics work.

 

[GeneralZift]

I got the idea that they were doubling down on immersion from the way they talked about it. I would be really upset and confused if they did some immersion breaking Civ switching mechanic. I doubt it a little

I was about to say, the livechat is an absolute cesspit, which shouldn't be surprising, given this is THE game about nationalism
