Cities cannot be renamed.

That's such an important feature for any civ game, but especially for this one with the civ switching. I cannot believe it's still not in.

Disappointing. I was really looking forward to renaming cities based on the languages of the civs I'm swapping into. When the devs went Normans to America in the Modern Era, I imagined myself renaming Rouen to "Rowansville" or something.

However, if I remember correctly, VI didn't have it as an option at launch either, but it was added in a patch not long after. Fingers crossed, though I wonder why the launch version has had to miss that feature two games in a row now.

It seems that it is impossible to exchange free tiles between cities. Once a city has made a cultural bomb, you cannot use the tiles thus acquired by another city.

That’s disappointing. Hopefully changes in the future.

Four weeks after release. I agree, very odd that it happened twice in a row.

I was planning to do that too.

Hopefully it gets added before launch or in the first couple of patches. I had forgotten that VI didn't have it at launch either.

Indeed!

Was thinking of it to be a very strange title until I read this. Makes sense.

I guess I didn't realize previously that unless a city center is founded directly on the coast or a navigable river, then it is unable to construct water units as you can no longer create a "harbor district" offset from the city center like you could in VI.

Ok, I just learned you gain access to a shipyard building, which acts like a harbor district, somewhere near the middle of the Exploration Age tech tree.

All the initial Mementos for each leader (barring the "unannounced"):

I have some ideas but does it say who it belongs to

I screencapped each one from a video where the streamer clicked on each leader, so you could watch that to see which goes with which.

Folks! I and probably others will appreciate if you provide a link to the source when you post something. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to miss loyalty pressure. I don't like lone settlements in the midst of my cities or in my sphere of interest in general.... I predict that I'll be a much more bloodthirsty in civ 7.

In Quarbit's video, there are a great number of cities revolting / trying to revolt, which I believe is a result in a drop of happiness. Not loyalty, and there is a ton of forward-settling, but I was happy to learn that cities can switch sides.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I wonder if settlements far from the capital / border settlements are more vulnerable to flip. If they are, it's predictable and I can wait and see...

No one likes Friedrich, whenever we talk, he avoids answering and keeps being oblique...
