LOW number of civilizations at launch

[Lord Lakely]

It's defo the low number of both. we want MOOOOOOORE.

WHEN DO WE WANT IT? NOW.

So, the real problem isn't the LOW number of civilizations at launch, but the LOW number of leaders, including personas?

But aren't there as many Leaders (without even personas) in Civ 7 as Civs for Civ 6 launch? ( )

Two more, or one more counting Pericles/Gorgo separately, and not counting personae.

That’s how I see it too. (But it’s not an issue)

You’re playing against the leaders, not the civs. seeing the same leader faces in my games will be more of an “issue” than the civs they’re using because I have a feeling that I often won’t notice it much

You don't play against Civs, you play against leaders.(...)

Sid Meier's Leaderization, now more than ever.

We've always played against leaders, be it insidious, nuke-happy Gandhi or bloodthirsty Montezuma.

As for the count, slightly fluffy but not too much. I find it considerably more controversial that they've cut away a historically always base civ (Britain) from launch, in order to force a likely obligatory upsell or DLC purchase for some.

I'm usually wary of people who criticize DLC as being cut content from the base game, but this is a bit too on the nose.

When DLC first emerged most people still bought game disks. So some early dlc was on the physical disk you bought at launch but you had to pay extra to access it. That's generally when this sentiment emerged.

I do wanna say that apart from Civ 4, statistcally, Civ 7 more civs to choose from in given era if you take into acount that there's roughly 8 max spots per player. And that we had I believe 18 base game Civilizations in Civ 6 with 22 max player per map. So... they're on par xD

Embarrassing that there are no Aztecs at the launch. Always been from Civ 1
