Small Observations General Thread (things not worth separate threads)

I know there are a lot of (justified) complaints about the UI, but I surely don't miss the Civ6 policy screen.

You can. I’ve got a Spanish Acropolis in my new Mongolian town

I love this change - watch out though as you lack the knowledge to repair them if they get pillaged!!

I can confirm you can repair unique improvements. I suppose it should be the same for UQ.

Interesting, will watch out for that next time it happens to me.

The Siam unlock is bugged beyond the gameplay one. Even as Chola, I wasn‘t able to choose it despite it saying „play as Chola“.

The unlock of Siam or picking it when age transition? I got it but I don’t remember if I could pick it.

All you Siam enjoyers, please +1 the bug report here:

I really hate that circle idea on railroads.

 

[Hellenism Salesman]

Is that meant to be a turn table?!

Why are the coats of the imperial guards and other French units from tier 1 in the modern age yellow and not blue? Just weird.

I've heard many complaints about the overuse of Sean Bean last game, that I wonder if this was due to the fact that people got tired of hearing his voice?

Blasphemy!

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Blasphemy!

Well, it wasn't me doing the complaining.

The Foederati, sadly, just uses whatever your civilization's default Warrior skin is.

That's just terrible. The unit had the potential to look like Italic allied warriors (Socii).

Personally, I had expected the unit to look like Celtic warriors, since there are already city-state units in the game that look exactly like that. When the Goths are released and modding tools are provided, someone needs to mod the unit's appearance.

Care to elaborate? Isn’t the social policy screen in civ 7 basically the same we had in civ 6? Vertical scrolling is better than horizontal maybe? In civ 7 you can’t even see all your active policies at once if you have too many, that’s worse than civ 6 for me.

Why? They're a pretty standard thing, especially on older lines.

There are some random little things in the age progression/reset that might make sense from a gameplay perspective but are kind of nonsensical thematically. Like, why do I have to rediscover how to build bridges in each age, or rediscover how to recruit Merchants? OTOH, at least those things have equivalents in every age. Lighthouses in Civ VII can only be built in Antiquity. Modern lighthouses exist in the real world, Firaxis!

 

[Elhoim]

Why? They're a pretty standard thing, especially on older lines.

Mainly because it appears even if there's no other connection on every improvement. So instead of having a nice train track along the farmlands it's broken up almost every tile with this unaligned turn table.

And universities! Some more buildings should honestly be made ageless, or have specific later upgrades. Like modern era could have research universities and automated lighthouses or some such.

By the way, which Wonder(s) have impressed you guys the most? I feel the Dogo Onsen is absolute bonkers. The Chengde Resort is also good although too late in the game.
