Here's my question: did any of the Firaxis employees recognise you and give you sympathetic looks that you've drawn so so many pictures and will continue drawing until the game releases?

[esleynopemos]

You have a human face?? Here I thought you were a sunglasses-clad teddy bear! My immersion is shattered!

[widgetb]

Navigable rivers!!!! I appreciate how closer to real world development some of the changes around cities and towns, navigable rivers, etc etc. I was relieved to hear from you that it still feels like Civ. The base concepts from the developers sound really good (depth, etc.), I have a great deal of hope for this! Thank you for the detailed update (and how excited am I that you were part of this!!!).

[dperkins]

Ursa, this is an incredible video. Wow. The amount of journalism you did to gather this amount of information is fantastic. And you share it in such a straightforward and holistic manner. Thanks so much for the hard work!

[alexcebollero]

Ursa I don’t want you to worry, but there is a human trying to cosplay you. I know that’s crazy since you’re in reality a bear with a blonde wig and sunglasses

[SlizMaster]

My sleep schedule will never recover, huzzah!

[jaredmorin]

I asked a dev in the livestream chat about adding bridges to the game and he said something about "theres a civ with a bridge building mechanic that will interest you" before quickly deleting the comment, im thinking it would be netherlands but idk

[beaucasteel]

I spent all day listening!! My wife is mad at me because I can't stop talking about civ. I'm so happy! I love all the changes

[Kuhnonthecob]

I’m so back and forth with this game. Some things in it, like how streamlined everything seems to be, I love. Nothing kills momentum in Civ 6 like the endless micro management of like 100 units and 15 cities etc but man, that UI and Civ changing thing just make me real real nervous

[JudahSonnenschein]

After watching the whole video, my feelings toward Civ 7 are VERY positive! You did an awesome job in going over what you knew, and provided a very pleasant perspective. Civ 7 will hopefully be a good turn away from the way CIV 6 was beginning to feel, and I can't wait to experiment with the endless combinations the Firaxis has provided. Here's to videos to come in a short six months! HUZZAH!!!

Ursa is a legend. He had a full mop of hair before he started drawing Civ6 until Civ7 was released. 😂🎉😢😮😅

[Kmg_]

We should all be cautiously excited! There's no point in making a new game unless some bold changes are made. Some changes could be either masterful of disastrous. We'll just have to see!

[maxkosek]

Watched so many videos form different content creators about Civ VII long and short but yours is the best most informative interesting and gave me best overview of everything helping shape my own opinion. Thank you!

[phattybacon]

Ive watched boethius and mcwhiskeys vids and this was the most clear and in depth out of all of them. Great work man thank you

[gamerbug]

I see a lot of DNA of Civilization Beyond Earth here. The Towns/Cities split, the "quest" like system for victory paths, the events with different choices, and even the leveling of your leader.

[SuprNoa]

I think they should change the "Modern" Age to the "Age of Advancement", to better fit the naming and theming of the previous Ages of "Antiquity" and "Exploration".

[gergosoos]

0:01 General Kenobi you are a bold one!

[julianfeldman]

The quality of this video is so high... Truely thank you for this! im really greatfull to have such a professional youtuber in a game that i love so much

[FdV-phul]

So I don't know why so many people are whining about the fact that Firaxis is changing game play so civilisations change after every age. I'm one of those players who plays civ because I love history and one of the things that has always bothered me is the fact that the civilization you play with stays static throughout history. This is just not the way history has played out for most nation states (you might argue the Chinese or the Greeks have been able to remain relatively static but not really). We'll have to see how the mechanics work but it's definitely a step forward for those people who want to mimic some sort of historical accuracy when they play.
