Civilization VII Update 1.3.0 - November 4, 2025

I'm very curious so I'm going to be annoying and ask here again. When playing as Teach and/or Pirates, can your fleet commanders freely move through other territory like your military naval units?

I think so, from what I remember of my game last night. I'll double check later if no one else has by then.

As Pirates, yes. The Buccaneers specifically have that ability. Even better, the other civs don't care. Your Buccaneers can waltz in unmolested, then unload a bunch of sloops at an opportune moment.

Thank you for your reply Lord Lakely but that's not happening in my settlement.

Abandon all hope, ye who accidentally click this large and centrally located button!

I did exactly that (though I thought this was from a mod and not the base game). I reloaded my last auto-save rather than try and re-slot something like 30-40 resources.

were you playing continuity ? wondering if settlers built in antiquity survive to explo with pirates ? I’m convinced they do not, but wondering if I should build some just in case…

They do. I had a colonist left over starting as Carthage, and it was still there after becoming RoP.

That wasn't intended behavior. A few minutes after that post, the issues on Steam were resolved and you could add the DLC like any other DLC.

No, they weren't. At the time of my post, I still had to perform the specified gymnastics to make it work.

Nonetheless, it wasn't how they intended for it to be unlocked and they did correct it eventually.

Thx for the info ! Not sure what I'll do in the end... seems like it's something they forgot about and it goes against the intent to pre build a bunch of settlers...

AI

AI now fully uses all Sanctions against other players, including other AI players.

I haven't even gotten to the piracy and naval combat in my first game yet and already this small sentence is making the diplomacy much more interesting. 20 turns in, I meet Pachacuti. Turn 30 he denounces me. Turn 35, he sanctions my military production. I sanction his science. Turn 45 DoW on me. Currently on turn 80 on epic, I haven't even met another neighbor yet. The rivalry between the Han and the Mississippians is like the Hatfields and McCoys. I don't know if he has met anyone else or not. This new revamped diplomacy is very interesting though.

I agree. I started a new game last night and was pleasantly surprised at how the sanctions are (a) making me mad and (b) turning up the heat in terms of a real reason to go to war. It is refreshing for a change.
