Update 1.1.0 is coming March 4 + New Development Roadmap

[Yzman]

Question about Civ 7 patches: if we're in the middle of a game, will the changes likely be applied to the existing game? I'm trying to decide if I should start a new game this afternoon/evening, or wait 'til Tuesday. I usually play on marathon, so my games last a long time. I really want to make sure the next time I play Modern, the changes to cultural victory have been applied.

They typically apply.

I remember accessing a game and getting the new spy notifications that were added

I think it tends to depend what the changes are. You’ll pick up the balance ones and similar stuff but not anything related to stuff that’s already happened like map generation or age start rules.

Era changes are implemented as essentially starting a new game using your most recent auto save. I presume any era transition would implement all changes in the game's code.

I'd say just start playing. There's two options:

1. The changes are applied mid-game. You just continue playing.
2. The changes aren't applied mid-game. You now start over, starting your new game at the exact same time you otherwise would have, however you've had fun playing for the last few days as well even though you're not finishing that run.

I did wind up starting a new game last night, on a harder level. I might just play through Antiquity a couple of times, depending on how things go -- I'm lagging behind the AI on tech/civics/wonders now.

If I had to guess, I would guess that as long as you haven't started the Modern Age before the update installs, the victory conditions in Modern will reflect the updated code. Though I don't know if relic locations are predetermined when the map is initially created, so if they have been modified as part of the patch, there might be some issues.

Wow, entire roadmap has one thing in common, they have to fix the ui. Wow

Well they clearly got the message that the community is very unhappy with the user interface. They’re taking it seriously and hopefully are devoting most of their resources to it. IMO that’s all to the good.

Yep, very good work by Firaxis there. Just what the doctor ordered.

 

[tedhebert]

Any idea about the release times for the patch ? Should we expect it early in the day the 4th for ET ? or is that a total unknown yet ?

 

[canadamufc]

Ada First Look tomorrow (Monday) then?? Or on the same day as release?

 

[Hellenism Salesman]

Any info at all about the new content?!

She is most likely science/economy, given her history, no? A combinaison we still have not, if I'm correct.

 

[Ryansinbela]

Probably at 12 PM EST

 

[evonannoredars]

Well the game guide is currently down - something going on while adding entries for the new stuff perhaps?
Edit: Nvm back up, with no new stuff yet

 

[StargazingDog]

My Steam install had a 90kb update today, for whatever reason.

If only they had paid this much attention when we told them the UI was atrocious back in August...

Firaxis fully rebuilt the UI between August and release.

 

[Maiq]

Firaxis fully rebuilt the UI between August and release.

Oof, not great they need to do it again.

 

[Noble Zarkon]

Firaxis fully rebuilt the UI between August and release.

Do you have a source for that?
