• Civ7 is already available! Happy playing :).

Modern Age discussion/speculation

The best Domination victory is still the one from Civ4 and before. When you've got the majority of the world's population and territory under your control, the game is effectively over. Making you conquer every last capital or jump through some other hoops is just tedious busywork.
 
I guess it will all depend on scaling then. Does the map have 40 cities, or more? Do half the cities appear on my starting continent?
Does it even count if i took 5 cities in previous ages? Or does the victory condition mean i need 20 points worth of cities only in modern era, regardless of the number of cities i took in previous eras?

Does city population make the city's defenses stronger, like in previous games? Even with many districts, if the pop is low, it could make it easier to take such cities, compared to an agrarian high pop city with fewer urban disctricts.

There may be some cheesing strategies to deal with unhappiness. Like, oh i am 4 cities short of victory. I will place my armies all around these 4 city districts and whittle down their defenses. But won't actually take them until i am sure i can walk into all four on the same turn.

Is unhappiness added per conquered district or per conquered city?
 
What will be the first warship of Age III? if Ironclad must be researched first.
There might be a Frigate or Ship of the Line, but it's also possible that Exploration ships disappear with no replacement. That appears to be what they did with siege units in the Antiquity to Exploration transition.

There's no way to tell at present. The only Modern gameplay we've seen was the one dev stream, and there were no naval units visible at the start of the Age.
 
^ And Age III is now the only Age that has diversified naval unit classes.
- Naval ('Light' warships)
- Heavy Warships (and there's even known TWO at present, First is Dreadnought, Second is Battleship.)
- Submarines (one of a kind).
Hoping for the following Age III+ (or IV) naval units sometime down the line:
  • Light: Missile Corvette
  • Heavy: AEGIS Destroyer
  • Sub: Nuclear Submarine
