What are your pros/cons/questions after watching the previews?

[Zaarin]

I really, really, hope so. It bothers me way more than it should, tbh.

Same with the Founder's Fog of War.

Yeah, the Founders Edition palace has to go. Stat. It's so gaudy and ugly, even aside from overriding the unique palaces.

I actually like optimising adjacency bonuses and the overbuilding mechanic

That's great! I'm hopeful I will find it fun (I enjoyed trying to optimize adjacency in Civ6), but the yield inflation is mostly what is making me skeptical, I think. Again, hoping it won't matter to me much in practice.

Each time a YouTuber complained about the palaces, I wrote in the comments section to tell them that they can take it off. Every time I did, they responded back saying they would look into it.

Yeah I’m also not a fan

As for the fog of war, what’s the difference with the standard one?

I don't think we've seen the standard fog of war yet. Without having seen the standard, I do actually like the Founders fog of war.

Ok, so it’s the black tiles with some gold in here and there. I actually like them a lot
It’s nicer than civ 6’s fog for me and definitely better than those really ugly clouds of Civ 5

I loved the paper map in Civ6, but I also really love the marble tiles in Civ7. They have a great visceral feel to them.

Gold ones here and there are the founders. Black seen most of the tiles is what everyone gets?

I think everything about war in this game is terrible. You are heavily penalized from conquering and I am worried this is all to force you into their narrative "3rd act."

Yes - I think so too : they just look black without the gold - screen from the antiquity stream with the Roman Palace and not the founder one

 

[Zaarin]

I hope they can be toggled separately. I do like the gilt tiles, just not the over-the-top palace.

Where is this from? Did FXS finally upload pictures of the cosmetic founders and deluxe content?

It is from reddit. I downloaded image. But I think I can find it again. I am not sure I even read the thread then…

Yours is even better! Steam is then the original source it seems. I did not find it from there anymore.

1st Mod: Replace the Founder's Palace with a more appropriate structure

2nd Mod: Replace that scout unit's dogs with cats

Why do I remember that some dev stream almost already promised scout cat? Did a quick search here and found no discussion. Did I see it in a dream?

 

[lo24681]

Pretty sure the stream actually said the opposite, no cats.

 

[pokiehl]

I’m genuinely floored the scout skin isn’t scout cats. Missed opportunity.
