Small Observations General Thread (things not worth separate threads)

It's all fun and games when Mahatma Gandhi spawns next to you, but if it's Nuclear Gandhi with access to nukes in Antiquity, you won't know what hit you.

Nuclear Gandhi persona would be funny and something I would find hilarious, but yeah no way XD.

Someone spotted a French retailer having a Take Two game listing for the Switch successor. Could Fireaxis have a port ready for the Switch successor launch?

Peripheral manufacturers have already been spoiling Nintendo's party by showing everything off at CES, what's another to do?

Seems highly likely, some devs will have had devkits for a while and it's coming out this year.

From the Game Guide:

Ashoka, World Conqueror leader persona is part of the Sid Meier's Civilization® VII: Founders Content Pack DLC. The Founders Content Pack is included in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII Founders Edition. It is not included in the Standard or Deluxe Editions, but is available for separate purchase until February 28, 2028 (base game required)

What does it mean by available for separate purchase until 28 February? Will it be bundled with an expansion pack or pass?

note the 2028 there…that may just be a limit on how long they keep it separate as opposed to part of the (Complete pack) or how long steam keeps DLCs open for, etc.

I spotted landships in one of the trailers. Good to see a distinction between ww1 and ww2 technology again.

Pretty sure the 2028 is a mistake. On the civilization webpage it says:

Expand the strategic horizons of your empire and enjoy more options for your reign with Sid Meier's Civilization® VII Founders Edition! This digital-only edition is only available until February 28, 2025—get it now before it's history.

Otherwise, it also wouldn't make sense to call it a Founder's Edition.

In before Gandhi is in and one of the last leaders with a persona...

Considering there are currently only American and European modern era-adjacent leaders and Asia only has ancient era-adjacent leaders, I wouldn't be very surprised.
Although then again if they added him with peaceful vs warlike personas, that'd be very similar to what they've already done with Ashoka.

Not an in-game observation but when this was posted to reddit it revealed that base game civ 7 will have 37 achievements for the achievement hunters out there

Surprisingly few, I think.

Hopefully no multiplayer achievements...

 

[Siptah]

I'm surprised as well.
I was pretty sure we'd see one achievement per civ (hopefully not just "reach any golden age with civ x through completing a legacy path) and one per leader. Thus, I expected 60+. But apparently, the approach is different this time.

I hope that this means achievements are more of an achievement, and less of simply playing the game as a completionist (win with any civ) or super random (that turtles one and the America one from civ VI). But I somehow doubt it that we'll see many hard to do achievements that don't rely on randomness.

Yeah, I was expecting over 55 achievements. At this number, it looks like one achievement per leader/persona, one per victory type, one per difficulty level, and a couple more.

I hope the one per leader isn‘t „unlock x‘s legendary attribute bonus“

I suspect it's "Win the games as..." x 26 leaders/personas

Then it probably means the components will be for sale but not as a discount package, and probably with some cosmetics missing(ie those would be limited edition)

Or it is only the achievements available in the specific build that player has access to.

I honestly doubt that any content of the founders package will be sold separately during the next years. At best, the leaders will be incorporated into the base game at some point - or sold again from 2028 or similar. The idea of the founder‘s edition seems to be: exclusive content here!

In general, I doubt that civ 7 content will be sold outside packages. RtR and CotW are listed separately on some stores because they are released in smaller entities, but we have no indication yet that it will be possible to buy individual civs or leaders. Until I see otherwise in a store with a price tag, I believe there will be only packaged content.

But there can be "subpackage" : each edition is subdivised as the DLC Collection, the Leader Personas, and the Cosmetic Pack. I understand only the Cosmetic Pack of the Founder Edition may not be available afterwards.

Maybe @FXS_Sar would be so kind to clarify how it works, but my impression from reading the texts is that the only way to get the leader personas of the founder‘s content pack is to buy this pack until Feb 28th and there’s no other way to get them afterwards.
