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

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?!

Halfway through the game you discover the New World and that's when Tecumseh, Montezuma, and Hiawatha joins the fray.

if they copied humankid I think it's the destruction of civ, a shame

 

[Lord Lakely]

The way I understood is, is that you pick a new trait every Era? Which may or may not be linked to your current Civ.

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

I trust Ed, but I have concerns for sure.

The wording makes it seem like you pick a new civilization each Era, which is not buttering my bread rn. I'll wait and see to if it's any good, though.

Is it not rather that you stay with a Civilization but can switch leaders at specific ages?

The way it is worded, it says pick a new civ. But it also mentions picking new traits.

The steam page shows a city switching from East Asian to Mesoamerican styled buildings during an era change.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

I wonder if maybe you choose a civilization, but you change your leader for each era?

Maybe instead of new civs, it''s pick between new leaders every era. Which I wouldn't mind that as much.

 

[Hellenism Salesman]

given this is THE game about nationalism

I suppose you are right

 

[SupremacyKing2]

Did I post this one here yet?

So BASICALLY, the same leader selection criteria as Ara: History Untold (which has leaders such as Sappho, Cesare Beccaria and Jeanne d'Arc alongside the usual monarchs, chancellors and prime ministers)

I do like the idea of being able to pick leaders other than heads of state, like famous scientists to be your leader. And I love being able to pick new attributes throughout the game.

It sounds like civ7 will be much more flexible in the civ abilities.

Copying humankind... It's like asking the failing kid for the homework when you've studied every day for the last 20 years... Oh my days...

 

[UncivilizedGuy]

At least the leaders will be locked into their respective historical eras for a change instead of existing throughout history

 

[DWilson]

I wonder if they started working on the core engine back before Humankind showed it wasn't great

 

[Leyrann]

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

They've since disabled the chat lol.

I’d be fine with this

 

[canadamufc]

I guess we just have to see in 45 minutes, hopefully we dont get Egyptians turning to Swedes or Brazilians turning into Russians

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Has anyone mentioned that Napoleon is in the game? You get him by connecting your 2K account.

Where is that info found?
