Civilization VII Patch 1.0.1 - February 5, 2025

[wesplaysciv]

1.1.0 patch in early March, agree possible but unlikely we'll see something before then, especially since they are doing everything cross platform. Though maybe UI tweaks or something COULD be patched/tested for PC first...

Based on the roadmap, I wouldn’t expect another update until the first DLC in March.

During the latest livestream when discussing the Content roadmap the devs stated clearly that there will be frequent patches addressing bugs, balance and UI in the coming weeks. Edit: They also discussed content being added in patches soon starting at 1:42:25

There can always be a 1.1.0.1 patch. In the roadmap, they specifically discuss “major updates.”

I was just coming to respond with exactly that. The roadmap is not showing all patches and fixes, they were quite explicit there.

Additionally, from the Dev Diary:

Free Updates: Step 2 - Updating the Core Game​

So how does this feedback directly translate into improvement in the game? What kind of updates can Civilization VII players expect to see?

The first set of updates we'll be providing are those that directly target the game as it currently stands. There will be some bugs to fix, plenty of balance changes to make, and we know there are spots in the gameplay and user interface that can be enhanced with any number of quality-of-life improvements. You'll see regular updates from us in all of these areas.

We also have a number of updates planned to round out some features that didn't quite make it in for our initial launch. Our development team is a creative bunch that has a seemingly endless list of ideas, but there are a few that have bubbled up to the top that I want to mention as priorities for the team:

• Adding Teams to multiplayer games so we can let you play cooperatively
• Expanding to 8 players for multiplayer in all Ages through refinements to our Distant Land system***
• Allowing you to pick your starting and ending Age to allow for single or double Age games
• Providing a wider variety of map types
• Adding in hotseat multiplayer

There's no exact date for these features at the moment, but we already have developers assigned to get them out to you as soon as we can.

Bye bye founders palace

I haven’t paid attention to this, does it look crappy or what?

Indeed. I wouldn't expect any QoL fixes until a Major Update, but there will probably be some bug fix patches over the next several weeks.

We're not counting in binary here, there could be 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.10, ... before the March major update 1.1.0

No it looks good, but each civilization has a unique palace so you have to choose between the founders palace or authentic civilization flavor.

Every civ has a unique palace appearance. The Founders Palace just wallpapers over those with a single skin that's the same for all ages and civs.

No it looks good

YMMV. I think it looks extremely gaudy, even aside from the fact it paves over the unique palaces.

It looks pretty decent, but also rather anachronistic in the Antiquity, plus it overwrites the civ-unique palaces.

Did anyone else notice the note that AI now prefers pillaging to attacking settlement centers? Not sure how this plays out in 7, but in 6 that would have been a huge change.

It's so that they can heal first no ?

Nice! Glad they're all individually toggleable.

Extremely Gaudy would actually be Extremely Accurate for many Leaders and Civs. It's just a shame that All Extremely Gaudy Palaces would end up in game being identical . . .

I'd love to see Greece and Rome depicted with the actual eye-bleed-inducing colors they painted their buildings with in real life rather than the Neo-not-so-classicist aesthetic.

My issues with the palace are less its style, more that its so big

There has already been a debate on the Anno Discord about whether buildings and statuary in Anno 117 (the forthcoming 'Roman' Anno) should be in pristine white marble or colored as they really were. I suggested a compromise, in that there were numerous types of colored marble like green, blue, red, brown, that were available in Italy, Greece or Spain so that even an unpainted marble object did not have to be blanc. It will be interesting to see what they do with it, because the studio that does Anno has produced some really gorgeous graphic elements in the past.
