Cant wait to play as Musa the great leader of japan who becomes Sweden

3 Ages? 4 Personalities? Looks like a set up for 5 years of DLC roll-outs.

I put 500 hours into Civ 6, so it's by no means a bad game but I put 2, 000+ into Civ 5, and it's the one I still reach for. Just an absolute peak experience still.

I love the cities and districts looking more like a sprawling city

[whodatrightthere]

The Civilization changing every era has another aspect I don't see anyone talking about;
They said every era has unique Civ's for that era.
A standard game size is 8 civs, so 8 times the 3 eras... 24 unique civs minimum necessary for a small 8 player game.
I'm used to running singleplayer 20 civ games on large maps. That would mean they would need 60 civ's for that to be possible. Even at a reasonable 12 player game, thats still 36 civs.
36 unique civs that I could have had the option to start as from the beginning but now I only get 12.

Seems like a lot of unnecessary extra work, so I'm betting that the games will be smaller scale and the maps wont be much if any bigger than the biggest in Civ 6. Probably has to do with the sprawl caused by some buildings (granary) being whole districts now.

I prefer the idea others have suggested; evolving leaders

[Groaznic]

So Civ 6 "borrowed" from Endless legend, and Civ 7 "borrows" from Humankind. Wow, Firaxis are really flattering Amplitude these days.

[Shenanirats]

My fave is the original, because I'm old, but I agree that V is probably the best. A lot of new mechanics were introduced in IV, but I feel that V really ironed the wrinkles out.

I didn't even mind the cartoony nature of VI, but it sort of reminded me of a nicely upgraded III, cos that was super cartoony.

[stygggian]

Oddly enough, Alpha Centauri was my favorite until 4 came out, I've come to love 6 as well.

[brokenhanz-om]

I just wish that the leaders would evolve as you go through the ages. For me, it was a little weird to start out as Teddy Roosevelt in the Stone Age.

4:00 Uh, have you played Civ before? That is now how builders/ workers work in the last 2 games. They work on and improve tiles, not city buildings.

[Noxiefy]

I really liked Civ Beyond Earth, If they just refined it instead of abandoning it. Adding colours of each factions to upgraded units, some flavor and all good

[TonyFapioni]

I am very disappointed with the route Civ has been taking. Eventually, it will just be a city builder where you conquer nearby territories. I like having one city in one plot with an empire spanning the continent. It also embraced a more cartoonish art style. Civ V was the peak, .

[cleny]

So basically Civ is taking what Humankind and the Endless games did.

[janman]

Civilization II remains my all time favorite. I’m still not entirely used to districts, religion and lack of unit stacking. Civ7 looks like it may be significantly more interesting than any prior version and I have high hopes. The new city management/development looks especially promising.

[kleinemonnik]

Something I really liked from Civ 3 was that the clothing of the leaders changed throughout the ages. With these ages, I hope that besides changing to a new civ, you also have the option to keep your civ, and your leader will change clothes.

[HelLo-kquz]

I don't get the changing civs, why wouldn't you change leaders? Kills immersion of empire building.

[henri]

I can't believe I lived to see Civilization VII come to life...
Holy moly

[Karlokrbr]

Would love if you could change those dark hex grids on unexplored lands and choose different options. I like those white clouds like in Civilization V.

[cassius]

I love that they reducted the cartoonish style and made it look more realistic and more based on history.

[saberswordsmen]

Played since 3. While there's always a few features I miss from previous entries, I pretty much always end up liking the newest in the end. Very happy to see rivers as connections come back, I never understood why they took that out. Taking it to them next level with actually being navigable is even better.
