Sid Meier's Civilization 7: The First Preview

We're happy to say we came away with a pretty positive outlook on Civilization VII. It's a more daring, risky take on the formula than any of the past few iterations have been, and we think that's definitely the way to go, considering those older games aren't going anywhere and are still quite playable. From Ages that completely transform your chosen civ, to a bold, readable, but grounded new art style, Firaxis is already putting their best foot forward. Previewed by Leana Hafer

Idk why civ is still so tied on having eternal leaders but transient everything else. It should be leaders that change

It really goes full circle, huh. Humankind rips off Civilization, Civilization rips off Humankind

[adeafningsilence]

so feature Wishlist for Civ Product Managers:
- Allow cities to have unconnected rural districts
- Fix mountains to make them more like real mountains

Civ 5 just got its shelf life extended 5 more years minimum.

Not diggin it. changing civs goes against what civ is.

[Dell-olhb]

How does Egypt naturally progress into Songhai, then into Buganda? That doesn't make any sense, the only connection between these civilizations are that they're on the continent of Africa, but they're completely different cultures. This would be like if China could transition to Korea, then to Japan, just because they're all East Asian civilizations, it doesn't really make sense.

[anonymouslykinda]

Keeping the leaders consistent over the eras, but changing the civs is the exact opposite of what would have made sense.

[hantuan]

why the leaders avatar seems like a massive downgrade compared to civ6 :|

the way IGN pronounces "divisive" is divisive

Are we wrong for just wanting an updated civ 5? They should have looked at Vox Populi. Not Humankind.

[henrymqk]

Just use civ 5 as a basis and build from there - it's not hard. Everyone has their favourite civ game but I'm pretty sure most prefer 5 over 6

VOTE;

Changing leaders > Changing Civs

[KirihitoSan]

how's Egypt-> Songhai->Buganda NATURAL transition?? is this a joke? these cultures did not interact, had nothing in common except being on the same continent. THis is ridiculous

[NeverSleepsAC]

I'm sorry, you think the mountain textures were bad but the leaders were okay? They look like someone tried to port a current gen game onto the Nintendo Switch

[alvaror.tavares]

It seems we will have another 10 years of CIV V.
