    18:56 Small detail: the text here is incorrect; it should say “envisaging” and not “envisioning.”
    Also, one thing I don’t like about the game is that you aren’t actually Ben Franklin! It’s evident in the text at the beginning; Franklin is described in the third person and not in the second person (you also don’t communicate with other leaders from his perspective but rather view both him and the others as some invisible figure). It also isn’t a message directed toward Franklin like in Civ 6 but is rather some generic text about him. I don’t like it

    Was just watching Ursa's video and the first thing I noticed was that the menus still have like 50 slightly different shades of boring, dull grey. I know that was one of your main complaints on the initial looks presented last year, so I'm wondering if your thoughts have changed on them?
    Especially compared to Civ 6, the Tech and Civic trees just look BAD. Boring, bland, characterless. Maybe it's just because Civ 6 was so saturated (sometimes overly so), but it makes all the menus and terrain look so DULL when I'm watching the game.

      As usual, next installment will always overcorrect in certain directions.
      Civ 3 promoted rapid expansion and lots of new cities -> Civ 4 corrects with upkeep until your cottages and Currency will make you catch up and profit in the long run -> overcorrect in Civ 5 and promote tall play.
      Another example: graphics
      Civ 5 had less saturated graphics.
      Civ 6 was considered oversaturated and too colorful.
      Overcorrect again and make stuff look pale and bland again.

      It looks like multi-player will be better than single-player. The only thing I wonder about is the leaders, they seem so different, balancing them for multiplayer is going to be a real problem.
      I also don't understand all these games adding Civs for ages. They seem more limiting than anything. In previous civs I can choose any strategy I want in each age, and even change direction. Now I am locked into my strategy at the beginning of an age when I choose my civ. If I get it wrong, the only recourse seems to be to start again.

      ​@lordlubu3029 I know me personally, as well as my friends, don't see myself as literally "The United States" at the start of the game, rather as a group of people who will eventually come to exhibit those cultural traits we associate with America. Ancient era America looks very similar to any other ancient era civ, or real life civilization from antiquity for that matter. I think Civ7 drawing attention to details previously left for the player to abstract (like how we don't literally rule as an immortal George Washington for 5000 years in the game) is a little jarring. Just my take.

    It's disturbing to change civilisation along the way. I think it would have been much more natural to do the other way round: keep the civilisation but change leader with different attribute. For example you could pick England and go Boudicca -> Richard Lionheart -> Elizabeth 1st -> Winston Churchill. In each era you could choose between several leaders giving unique bonuses. Let's say in the early modern era you can take Henri VIII to focus on religion or Elizabeth Ist to focus on the navy etc.
    But I guess we'll get used to their system ans play thousands of hours amyway.

I couldn't care less about historical accuracy because this is a game in the end. I'd rather be free to chose the bonuses my leader with customizable bonuses with a fixed civ.

    42:00 I didn't notice any use of any logios. Then, in Exploration, there was a conquistador symbol that appeared on the map, but not mentioned which one of those great people, or how you were employing it. You of course had to pick and choose what to highlight, but I wonder, is depiction in action or further info than the devs have released about the great people, still subject to embargo? Some of them seem quite powerful, so much so that I would think that a civ with great people would be OP compared to those without. Maybe not if they were amazingly expensive. If you're allowed to comment on this topic, please do so.

    Love that you showed gameplay in this, but obviously the truncated editing means I very quickly lost track of what I'm actually looking at with yields, buildings, etc. Hopefully once the embargos are more lenient you can explain more in-depth. I've not kept up to date with every single video highlighting changes, so that'll contribute too.
    But just in the Antiquity Age, I pretty much confused right from the get-go on how buildings work. What is a Production Building? Do Districts exist? What does a Quarry actually do, since the yields didn't change on the kaolin when it got improved? Speaking of, do Improvements exist? What influences tile yields now if farms, quarries, mines, lumber mills, etc. cannot be built?
    You spoke of bonuses and combos surrounding the Parthenon + another thing. But what is a Parthenon? How do you 'place' it? Do you place it? Is it a building in the City Centre like Civ 6? Are Districts completely eliminated from the game?
    As you can see, I've got tonnes of questions, and I'm pretty sure the hour of gameplay you showed only made me more confused, unfortunately. Nevertheless, thank you for the time you took to explore through the first two ages and show us a broad overview of the mechanics of the game, I look forward to seeing some more in the future.

    Why would Machiavelli unlock the Normans? I understand Confucius unlocking the Ming, but Machiavelli was from Florence, which geographically has nothing to do with the Normans as far as I know.

    17:00 If it's ancient Greek it would be pronounced lo-gi-os. The pronunciation you give it would be more like what I think a word spelled that way would be pronounced in modern Greek. I don't know modern Greek, but I have heard Hagia Sophia pronounced by Greek speakers as something like "ay-ya", so your loy-yos is probably right.
    My undergraduate degree is in Classical languages (cue the oohs and aahs), and I had never heard the word logios. I looked it up, and even the full Liddell and Scott does not have such a word. There is a word, logimos, that means a well-known person, an educated person, or a person clever with language ( I guess I am a logimos, cue more oohs and aahs). If Liddell and Scott doesn't have it, it's not classical Greek, but, I consulted a lexicon of New Testament, or koine, Greek, and sure enough, logios had become a word by the time the New Testament was written. It means pretty much the same as classical Greek logimos. Too lazy to keep the m as the centuries went by. No clue on koine Greek pronunciation, but I suspect closer to classical than modern Greek.

      @ not really, people were definitely up in arms about that change for sure but that was the only really big change. Civ 6 still had most of the base things that 5 had with some minor differences.
      Civ 7 changed SO much it almost looks like a completely different franchise. It doesn’t even feel like a Civ game

    1:22 "this is also not a paid ad". Well, kinda is (havn't watched entire video yet). Not saying it's wrong to be excited over a pre-view or anything, I'm fine with that, but since you aren't allowed to show certain segments by 2K, doesn't that make 2K trying to do a sponsored ad? Even if no actual money was involved, it's still does make 2K look a bit bad tbh (not you papa boes).

      Bro what. All game previews do this, they don't allow people to see all the content all at once. If they show off everything at one time, it loses hype
