But Civ2 with the Test of Time, and the Test of Time Project Patch created five or so years ago by @TheNamelessOne, gives amazing options for scenario and mod making just not possible in Civ3 - like scripted events, and up to four stacked and separate maps.
Yes this is all true, but unfortunately even in (Civ 2) TOTPP until now there is no fix for the defending bug of animated sprites and even more worse, there is no Lua enmovement trigger for different movement sounds of units - and only a single "clack, clack, clack sound" for the movement of all kind of units in the game, unfortunately lets Civ 2 ToT (even with the otherwise in my eyes great TOTPP) really perform very outdated today.
Though VERY few custom-made scenarios and mods actually use custom sprites and assume the player will turn them off. This has become the assumed norm in most of the community.
It is no wonder that no more animated units were created for Civ 2 ToT with all those never solved big shortcomings of Civ 2 ToT. I made several working animated units for Civ 2 ToT by converting Civ 3 units and even a mod with light animated Civ 2 ToT units long before TOTPP even did appear. They can be found here and here. I stopped creating animated units for Civ 2 ToT long ago exactly due to these shortcomings. Ignoring these existing big shortcomings and playing Civ2ToT in the unfortunately completely outdated "clack-clack-clack-style" is the only option left, as nobody (even not TheNamelessOne) found a solution to overcome these existing massive shortcomings. This is really a pity, as Civ 2ToT, especially with TOTPP has all those interesting great options you listed in an earlier post.
They'll get monetization from my cold, dead, hands (and even then, not if I have a good inheritance lawyer).
It's come to the point that, the rare time I play Original, Extended Original, Sci-Fi Game, Fantasy Game, or Midgard in ToT (which is not common, nowadays, but...), the default animations are jarring and seem out of place.
It could be a free-to-play pay-to-win first-person online shooter where you also pay to purchase the latest 'Gilgamesh' and 'Elizabeth I' skins
We all know they have to innovate; it'll be a new take on Civ, turn based begone for some new, modern system, like with Final Fantasy 16 - action strategy game.
Yes it has been said "Civilization 7" explicitely.
Has it? I only know the tweet that said the next game in the series is in the worksYes it has been said "Civilization 7" explicitely.

Well everybody in the press mention Civ7. Even here, considering the speculation on when exactly it (Civ7) could be released, not to mention the fact that the odds point out to a new numbered iteration in the franchise... some people even hoped it (Civ7) for this year.
As if console players were responsible for design changes on games... c'mon
Let's not forget that the first eve Civ was also released for SNES.
Civ 6 came out for mobile phones way before any video game console. I'd say tailoring to that market is worse.
Eh, consoles have a few problems.
The second. Civ2 was. I didn't play the SNES version, and I only had access to an SNES on my youngest brother's unit when I lived with my father, and my first copy of Civ2 was with my first PC (a Windown 95 machine) in my first apartment around, so...Let's not forget that the first eve Civ was also released for SNES.
Yes, but it is still only speculation, albeit it seems more than likely. There has been no "official" statement from FXS concerning what the next Civ game will be. AFAIK there has only been a couple mentions - a short comment on Civ's Twitter account and in a press release statement from Heather Hazen when she was promoted to Studio Head - both on the same day Feb. 17th.
