I hope combat in Civ 7 is going to be more like Civ 5 in terms of scale and on map presence, this is really specific but I liked how large the armies looked in 5 rather than the couple soldiers you get in 6
For me the late-game was very unappetizing with civ 5, where I have to click through 100 of units to move somewhere. While I agree on the fact that large scale wars and strategic movement is fun, in between fights I dislike it to constantly having to move all my units from point A to B.
I could go for a realistic looking Civ game...I also hope the "leader" can age, be replaced, or at least be explained. Like Why is Ghandi leading India ever since the Paleolithic Era 😆
I have a whole laundry list of things that I'd like to see in Civ VII. Probably the biggest one is balances to Districts. I like the district mechanic from Civ VI, but I think there was a bit too much. Like, by the end game, most of the most important cities are either districts (including wonders) or tiles that can't build districts on, like mountains, oceans, and strategic/luxury resources. I just want to see the sprawl scaled back a bit. One idea I had was to make it so that most (if not all) wonders are built inside districts, rather than being a district in their own right. That should severely cut down on the sprawl, allowing far more tiles for improvements.
i like the idea of having some wonders being build inside districts and others having to be a tile of their own. For example, it would be nice if the Colosseum could be set in an entertainment center, but something like Machu Picchu still was alone on a mountain. Could really make the cities more dynamic.
I have always thought of establishing a "district tile" of sorts. Where you can designate a tile of your choise to be broken down into 3 districts within the same tile.
The middle ground art style between 5 and 6 is EXACTLY where I have been telling people the next game would go for years. Stylized graphics will always outlive whatever 'realistic' edge exists at any one time, and will give easy longevity to the game. Civ 6 has had years and it still looks really amazing, so I can't wait for something slightly more grounded. And as far as desires, I just really want to be a better scaling with the districts, so that we can watch buildings in the cities spread gradually with city development. A newly settled city should really only have a couple of houses, and then just spread gradually to fill the tile. Also, I would love to see more dynamic terrain. It would be nice to not only have hills and mountains, but valleys and canyons as well, so that you might not be able to pass over a canyon in the early game in a single turn, but a road could eventually span it with a bridge with improvement. Something else I would long to see is immigration. If your civilization and cities are doing well, we should have pops leaving neighboring civs to join ours, and it would be even cooler if the pops had their own small abilities, such as perhaps a German pop adding one additional point of industry to a city.
One of the most popular mods of all time for Civ 6 was one that changed the map back to Civ 5 graphics, I don't think the mobile game look is for everyone.

Civ V still has a higher player retention rate than Civ VI. The majority of the Civ community still plays Civ V, not for realistic graphics, but because gameplay and graphics are nice. Biggest mod when Civ VI came out was to fix all of the character models, current largest mod is to make the game look like Civ V. In Civ V a lot of the bonus content that Civ VI added was modded in.
I want the choices for government to matter more in the game especially towards the endgame. I feel like civ5 did it better when it came to ideologies making an impact on the game vs civ6. Maybe if they combine concepts from both games it make government type more fun and interactive similar to paradox games. Also I hope they bring back civs like Austria and Venice. I like civs that interact with city states and I think that they updated it in a way that make them good they’ll be more fun.
I want to see mechanics for cities growing and developing super quickly in late game. A lot of modern cities with populations of 10 million+ were founded like 200 years ago.
I am hoping for A.I. improvements specifically in fighting wars. Would be awesome if for this entry A.I. can be taught to use tactics that are hinted at in the gameplay design e.g. cavalry charges that withdraw after combat and regroup away from the enemy / paratroopers dropping behind the lines to attack opposing artillery / support units to name a few
im surprised no one mentioned full mod support. I think the modders are still waiting for full access to Civ VI to make mods like Vox Populi. I hope to see them carry on this tradition
There are already INCREDIBLE mods being made for 6, once modding support is established It will be amazing. If firaxis tries to scam us with 7, just shuffling everything around a little with different graphics, I believe the game might flop.
The one thing I missed on civ 6 was that army progression was going too fast. You can have a war with samurai and in that same war, people already are upgrading to man at arms or worse! Perhaps it's for balancing but it does take the fun out of having a special unit that was outdone way too quickly. If that makes sense~
That makes sense! I guess one way round it could to be to play on a slower game speed but I always find that those games take too long. Thanks for watching!
omg i hated that! I work so hard to get to the "voi chien" for vietnam, only to have it be undone immediately by muskets...it takes away from the excitement!
I'm hoping for changes in naval warfare and overall the use of oceans and seas. Getting control over waters should be more important. Also I'm hoping that war will get big changes, I dislike how it's either non stop war in one game and in the other you'll get only one war and the rest is just sitting in peace slowly developing without the need for any military. Wars should be more frequent over resources, but at the same time it should not be constant war age lol. I just want to have something to do with my army other than moving them every turn here and there just because
Those are great points. I really liked building a navy and protesting my coast. But, after destroying several enemy boats it’s seems all navy battles are done. I’d love to see longer range for boats as well when firing on land. And I like that idea: ai characters and civilizations should be calibrated better to war over resources.
I think they need to find a happy medium between the two. Civ 5 is still my favorite, but there are features from Civ 6 that I definitely liked and wish would carry forward.
Me too. I think that the Civ 6 graphics are realistic but just more colourful and more advanced. Edit: changed the tense of my sentence from past to present
I’m hoping for some major revolutions. 1: unique units need to be upgradable to better versions in later techs or civics. (Early Roman republic legions upgrading to Marian reforms legions in the late Bronze Age with testudo formation when under archer fire as well as a pilum throw before mele combat. Then in the Iron Age, get the imperial legion upgrade which adds a ballista to the unit with a ranged attack range of 2 tiles. Also consider the samurai. Early samurai in the classical era wielding straight swords, then medieval samurai get upgraded to double as archers with a range of 2 tiles, and then renaissance samurai get upgraded to have a matchlock volley before mele combat) Units need to go back to the Civ 5 sizes. Why only 4 infantry and 2 horsemen in Civ 6? Globular map. Navigable rivers Fewer districts. Commercial, government, theater, holy site, and campus can all be city center stuff Wonders need to be built in districts and replace buildings in said districts. Colossus is just a giant lighthouse. Library of Alexandria is just a great library. 4th building needs to be added to each district. The mint building needs to return. Gold and gems need to return as resources. The neighborhood needs an overhaul and 4 levels of buildings. Proper urban combat. Tanks and cavalry get combat penalties in districts. Infantry get bonuses. Each tile must be fought for. Taking the city center should not automatically take the whole area. Call up militia project should become available when war is declared by a neighbor. Tiles can be entrenched by units which puts trenches and defense works in that tile. Units can occupy buildings which grants an ambush bonus. Paratroopers need to return with the ability to move and attack on the same turn they paradrop upon being trained. Spec ops are good, but they need the move after attacking, and the ability to paradrop anywhere, including on airports and ocean tiles (they are special forces. Theres no legitimate reason for them to not be able to do this), attack/plunder, then move all in the same turn upon being trained. Oh, and forests also make them entirely stealth to enemy units, even if they are adjacent until they fire. Also they should be able to traverse mountains. Add in mortar troops which have a range of 3 tiles. Dedicated naval aircraft that get trained at the naval air station building. Radar vehicles to coordinate with nearby SAMs to increase their range SAMs can attack helicopters. SAMs have a base range of 3 tiles, gets doubled when in range of a mobile radar. Add urban infantry. The encampment and harbor should be able to house multiple military units depending on how many buildings you have built. Carriers should get a base capacity of ten aircraft. Add the Ageis cruiser. Add the assault carrier which can carry several helicopters and ten ground units. It should be able to launch amphibious assaults from a 3 tile range. Helicopters no longer capture. They do attack runs like jets do, but can attack twice per turn. Make the civs more unique. They get different techs and civics at different times. Add Armenia Add Israel Drones should not be “destroyed” when an enemy unit goes to the tile it is over. IT IS A DRONE. It is flying. Drones need to be able to attack ground units. Bring back the guided missile Add supersonic, and hypersonic missiles which can be Ground based from launchers Ocean based from missile cruisers Or air based from bombers which can carry 4 missiles. Missile cruisers need to have a capacity of ten missiles. Thermobaric weapons need to be introduced. Using them in cities and districts gets you war mongering penalties. The ability to set regions. A mechanic that would allow you to select a group of cities as long as they are adjacent, what their specialty will be (agriculture, finance, manufacturing, oil, mining…) and group them together as a region, then select the regional capital and set a governor. Each governor The ability to make a currency and customize it like you can religion. Which symbol and name, its denominations (1s, 100s, 1000s), which standard, what the economy is based on (oil, agriculture, manufacturing…) Add an economic victory condition. The goal: to become the global reserve currency. You do this by completing aid requests and helping nations rebuild after a war.
I wished we had that, if your unique unit is classical era its not to long for you to make it redundant. Also custom currency seems epic, but 1 thing should be inflation, when you are gaining over a certain amount of gold per turn buildings get more expensive, they also get expensive when you go on a shopping spree and buy a bunch of stuff. The effect of inflation in the economy can lead to less yields like production since strikes, food since everything is getting expensive, science since people are not going to university due to having no money, culture since everybody is just sad and not thinking forward.
I really hope they do some kind of overhaul with the war system and the world Congress. The actual combat itself wasn’t as bad but actually conducting war, razing, taking cities, and generally doing anything around it gave players some extremely heavy handed punishments, and made both players and AI refrain from conducting war very well. The world congress on the other hand interrupted the flow of gameplay. By just sucking you out of your business and making you vote on something you either didn’t care about or benefited one or two specific people. I hope the choices if implemented at all are redone and the actual voting process made less obnoxious
Nothing much yet, except it's coming to last gen consoles as well including Switch and probably will be Switch 2 also once that gets announced. Excited to see how a truly wide release Civ performs. Also, so Nice to see Sid again.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the multi platform release goes too. The possible change up in the visuals is also nice! Always great to see Sid! Thanks for watching.
I honsetly liked the cartoony Civ VI art, especially a map being the undiscovered parts of the world. That was inspired. That being said, I do hope Civ VII brings us slightly more realistic art. For stuff I'd like to see, I definitely want unseen until now civs like the Philippines, Afghanistan, and Denmark. I also hope they keep the Leader Abilities.
Fingers crossed for: 1. Archers that can't cause damage to aircraft carriers, tanks, etc. (I mean WTF). 2. Battleships that can range farther than one tile more than archers (again, WTF) 3. 7 section hexagon tiles (center and 6 sides). 4. Mountain range passage by certain ground units and modern jet engine aircraft including drones. 5. Submarine passage under ice and ice breaker ships. 6. If districts consume an entire tile ( see #3) then deconstruction and relocation construction or new district construction instead. 7. Specific units needed to identify other Civ structures, i.e. a military unit can identify a military structure whereas a roaming priest or trader en route can not. IOW no free spying activity by units who don't understand what their looking at. 8. Where is my secret desert/jungle/mountain/island cove military and alien contact facility? 9. Where is Kelly L. Johnson, Igor Sikorsky, John Philip Holland, the Wright Bros., Hans Von Ohain, Mikhail Koshkin, C.W. Abrams, Kalashnikov, Browning, Glock as engineers ( the result of encampment production towards engineer education when military academy is built) I could go on but there isn't enough space
I really REALLY want them to return to a more mature and realistic look for this new Civ, rather than the stylized and cartoony look we got in Civ 6. Don't get me wrong, it was good for what they were going for, and some fans maybe preferred it. But I'm betting MOST Civ fans want a more gritty look.
I would love to see more units so we can customize our armies and maybe more specialized units like Marines, SF, drop shock units, suicide bomber, deep recon planes). I also want to see people and planes fly on their own to make cities feel more alive. Oh yeah and way better AI.
i really hope they expand upon the enemy ai and combat, i love the game but it always gets too easy at a certain point and the harder difficulties feel like a cop out since the ai isn't actually better but they just start with more resources/ less work time. I really hope this one will bring a great change to the game!
I'm a huge advocate for stylised visuals like in civ 6. Any game that has stylised visuals ages infinitely better than games that try for the "realistic" style. For example Team Fortress 2 and Zelda: Windwaker look just as good as they did when they released. You can't say the same thing about games like Half Life and COD4 To be honest, I had no idea people didn't like civ6's visuals lol, is that why leaders released in the expansions look different to the base game's ones?
a mechanic i would like there to be is that you can zoom in the city, and have the city distritcs built in the zoom mode, and you can personalize the looks of it, for example if u in war and they siege your city if you zoom you can see it would be destroyed
Smarter AI and NPCs is a must, id like to ally up with other civs, more friendly interactions and more ways to create war scenarios without people hating u because you chose to fight back against another civ trying to go to war with you. Bring back leader screens like civ 5 had!! It was so unique!
It would be awesome that you can advance more in space age and have a completely other map option for colonization. Like Mars the moon exc3dra even weapons. And maybe a feature for after the great flood to drag out ancient times and the tech
I'd really like more meaningful leader and nation bonuses from civ 7. Stuff that really changes how you play the game, so it stays fresh for more play throughs. Kind of how in civ 5 there were a few that really shook up the order that you do your buildings and research. In civ 6 I guess Eleanor is sort of interesting, but that's about it. in Civ 6 I ran into the issue of starting a new playthrough on a new leader, and it doesn't really change how I should approach the game. Like at all. I still need the same things. In roughly the same order. Around the same number of cities for the same reasons.
Ik not like civ at all but i wish they created a system of making ur own unique leader maybe even just the visuals bc i hate playing as someone that i dont feel cool playing idk maybe just me
I’m hoping for more features like adding walls to your actual borders I feel it jsut makes sense to have a wall at your border better defend your city’s or atleast have china have a unique border wall being the Great Wall.
If it lacks in content I will pass on it until it doesn't. Civ 6 is packed with content and I love it. It's going to take a lot for me to buy civ 7 at launch. I want multi-player to get major improvements. I also want an AI who can think farther than 2 moves ahead in single player mode.
wait...what if we take revolutionary literarly? like actual civil wars and independece revolutions? that would be terrific(me orchestrating a us civil war in 2025 as norway, dont ask)
Honestly, Civ 6 and Civ 7 could exist along-side each other. Which would mean that Civ 7 could really innovate on its gameplay while Civ 6 still exists for the crowd that still want to play the old.
I just hope the game is taller and wider than c6- the game was awesome but I wouldn’t mind deeper actions and choices based on each thing you can build - I wouldn’t mind the game being longer -maybe 1000 turns ( I know I’m prob only one) but I want a deeper wars and city building as well.. civ6 fighting was good but again deeper mechanics and visuals such as platoons or army’s looking like that!
Completely understand where you're coming from! It's a tough balance between adding detail but not making it too complex for the experience much of its player base wants imo.
What I really hope is that we get some really unique leader choices. I am tired to seeing bland choices like Queen Victoria, I'd rather see some really left-field leaders in the new game. Like Robespierre or Cardinal Richelieu for France - or the False Dmitri for Russia. Shake it up a little!
They should do somethings more in Eastern Europe like Russia Sweden and Poland under the Vasa's for a 2nd choice. Also adding Kievan Rus what is a trading/raiding with a bit of gold from farms to fund a strong army, Teutonic Order for a faith war feedback loop where killing countries of a different religion gives you faith so you can buy more men with faith so you get more faith killing what snowballs your army on pagan killing.
I'm always up for learning about new civs and leaders. I suspect we'll continue to get the usual leaders as they're a big selling point of the game. More leaders for each civ might open the door for a few more left-field choices.
We already got Eleanor of Aquitane in Civ 6, maybe we can get the default options first and then we get options to play as controversial leaders, imagine if they allowed Andrew Jackson to be the U.S alternative leader with his unique ability being able to have bonus damage to barbarians and other civilizations near or in his territories whilst also allowing him to steal other civilizations tiles and districts via purchase and is literally named "Trail of tears", that would be insanely amazing for today lol, but yeah, aggressive forward settling and stealing land might actually be a great early game strategy with a civ like that, at the cost of MANY grievances of course, and other civilizations who have met you and the other civ you are colonizing would have very high negative opinion of you so watch out.
what i'd like to see them try is adding into the mix, cartels. plus, a return to countries being able to capitulate. also, they need to fix the warmonger penalty thing, when dealing with civs on a different continent. i'm tired of being declared a warmonger three turns after meeting new civs, on different continents. it's not my fault they can't accept the fact that i unified all civs and city states, under one flag....
Players moving on from Civ VI? I haven't gotten around to buying it yet because I still play Civ V. I might do the recommended MS Windows behaviour and skip even editions.
I really hope we will get realistic AIs, and not ones that are buffed with non-existent resources. Conquering an AI city with a population of 10, just for it to be only populated by 5 citizens maximum once you govern it... Is just so annoying.
the main complains i had with civ 6 are: AI, i only play CIV singleplayer being dumb and sometime easy to cheese easily breaks the immersion performance (it runs perfectly on my pc, but i also want to play it on my mid-end laptop) too much micro-management when you have lots (military) of units late game being boring If they fix at least 1 of those problems, i will happily buy the game
Man if civ 7 were just civ 5 plus the like 5 mechanics from civ 6 that were actually good, i would be completley satisified. hopefully they won't display complete ignorance by making cleopatra black again.
cannot wait, 25 is a disapointment though., but played every version of civ with all add n since v1 so.. hope to live long enough to put in 1500 hrs to civ 7 as well
I would love to see a civil war mechanic. Instead of cities just revolting and becoming free cities, groups of cities could rebel under another color (but as the same civilization). This would allow you to have more in depth diplomatic relations, not only with these rebels, but with how other civilizations will approach the conflict.
I want the leaders backgrounds and attire to reflect the era they have reached, with a less cartoony and more subdued graphical style. Also, I don't want the game to overly penalize players for having many cities. I disliked Civ 5 for that reason.
I hope they go closer back to the Civ V looks, otherwise I'll just wait until the Civ V mod for Civ VII content comes out like it did with all of Civ VI content. I am glad they made the characters in Civ VI looks less like bobble heads after a time. But yea I was not a fan of the mobile game look.
There better be more unique units for civs I thought 6 was lacking or their unit was pretty useless ie 🏴 of all the units we could of had they gave us a scout 🥴….co op scenarios and fix the crashes
O and one of the biggest problems 6 had was splitting the player base on multi player because of dlc the very least they could do is if the host is using dlc you can also play and what happened to ranked matches people are less likely to quit
All I want is realistically looking civs
1:45 if the graphics is similar to this one, I dare to say: we won !

New or old features that haven’t been present since 4. Vassals, Tech trading, and wildlife.
Vassals would be great in Civ 7!
Definitely vassals especially against the civ cities. Wildlife would give an early era scout challenge and boost but tech brokering like civ3&4 nah
I agree tech trade is very realistic to.
Maybee a bonus for being first, and ability to trade it makes it moore unpredictible and dynamic!

I got used to it, but I would prefer a more realistic style
Definitely in the minority in my opinion as well with the majority of players preferred the more realistic art style like Civ V 👏
I think Civ 6 has aged very well and will probably still look great in 5+ years. That's certainly a pro of the less realistic approach imo.

Wonders need to be built in districts and replace buildings in said districts. Colossus is just a giant lighthouse. Library of Alexandria is just a great library.
4th building needs to be added to each district. The mint building needs to return.
Gold and gems need to return as resources.
The neighborhood needs an overhaul and 4 levels of buildings.
Proper urban combat. Tanks and cavalry get combat penalties in districts. Infantry get bonuses.
Each tile must be fought for. Taking the city center should not automatically take the whole area.
Call up militia project should become available when war is declared by a neighbor.
Tiles can be entrenched by units which puts trenches and defense works in that tile.
Units can occupy buildings which grants an ambush bonus.
Paratroopers need to return with the ability to move and attack on the same turn they paradrop upon being trained.
Spec ops are good, but they need the move after attacking, and the ability to paradrop anywhere, including on airports and ocean tiles (they are special forces. Theres no legitimate reason for them to not be able to do this), attack/plunder, then move all in the same turn upon being trained. Oh, and forests also make them entirely stealth to enemy units, even if they are adjacent until they fire. Also they should be able to traverse mountains.
Add in mortar troops which have a range of 3 tiles.
Dedicated naval aircraft that get trained at the naval air station building.
Radar vehicles to coordinate with nearby SAMs to increase their range
SAMs can attack helicopters.
SAMs have a base range of 3 tiles, gets doubled when in range of a mobile radar.
Add urban infantry.
The encampment and harbor should be able to house multiple military units depending on how many buildings you have built.
Carriers should get a base capacity of ten aircraft.
Add the Ageis cruiser.
Add the assault carrier which can carry several helicopters and ten ground units. It should be able to launch amphibious assaults from a 3 tile range.
Helicopters no longer capture. They do attack runs like jets do, but can attack twice per turn.
Make the civs more unique. They get different techs and civics at different times.
Add Armenia
Add Israel
Drones should not be “destroyed” when an enemy unit goes to the tile it is over. IT IS A DRONE. It is flying.
Drones need to be able to attack ground units.
Bring back the guided missile
Add supersonic, and hypersonic missiles which can be
Ground based from launchers
Ocean based from missile cruisers
Or air based from bombers which can carry 4 missiles.
Missile cruisers need to have a capacity of ten missiles.
Thermobaric weapons need to be introduced. Using them in cities and districts gets you war mongering penalties.
The ability to set regions. A mechanic that would allow you to select a group of cities as long as they are adjacent, what their specialty will be (agriculture, finance, manufacturing, oil, mining…) and group them together as a region, then select the regional capital and set a governor. Each governor
The ability to make a currency and customize it like you can religion. Which symbol and name, its denominations (1s, 100s, 1000s), which standard, what the economy is based on (oil, agriculture, manufacturing…)
Add an economic victory condition. The goal: to become the global reserve currency. You do this by completing aid requests and helping nations rebuild after a war.
I wished we had that, if your unique unit is classical era its not to long for you to make it redundant. Also custom currency seems epic, but 1 thing should be inflation, when you are gaining over a certain amount of gold per turn buildings get more expensive, they also get expensive when you go on a shopping spree and buy a bunch of stuff. The effect of inflation in the economy can lead to less yields like production since strikes, food since everything is getting expensive, science since people are not going to university due to having no money, culture since everybody is just sad and not thinking forward.
Development of units + better use of rivers sounds awesome!
@@justynajoniak6737 I have enough issues with inflation in the real world, haha. Could be a cool mechanic though!
I really hope they do some kind of overhaul with the war system and the world Congress. The actual combat itself wasn’t as bad but actually conducting war, razing, taking cities, and generally doing anything around it gave players some extremely heavy handed punishments, and made both players and AI refrain from conducting war very well.
The world congress on the other hand interrupted the flow of gameplay. By just sucking you out of your business and making you vote on something you either didn’t care about or benefited one or two specific people. I hope the choices if implemented at all are redone and the actual voting process made less obnoxious
Nothing much yet, except it's coming to last gen consoles as well including Switch and probably will be Switch 2 also once that gets announced. Excited to see how a truly wide release Civ performs.
Also, so Nice to see Sid again.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the multi platform release goes too. The possible change up in the visuals is also nice!
Always great to see Sid!
Thanks for watching.
I honsetly liked the cartoony Civ VI art, especially a map being the undiscovered parts of the world. That was inspired. That being said, I do hope Civ VII brings us slightly more realistic art.
For stuff I'd like to see, I definitely want unseen until now civs like the Philippines, Afghanistan, and Denmark. I also hope they keep the Leader Abilities.
I'd expect at least a couple of new Civs! Thanks for watching.
Heck yeah! I want a Philippines Civ but idk if it'll happen.
Denmark has in fact been seen (Civ V)
Fingers crossed for: 1. Archers that can't cause damage to aircraft carriers, tanks, etc. (I mean WTF).
2. Battleships that can range farther than one tile more than archers (again, WTF)
3. 7 section hexagon tiles (center and 6 sides).
4. Mountain range passage by certain ground units and modern jet engine aircraft including drones.
5. Submarine passage under ice and ice breaker ships.
6. If districts consume an entire tile ( see #3) then deconstruction and relocation construction or new district construction instead.
7. Specific units needed to identify other Civ structures, i.e. a military unit can identify a military structure whereas a roaming priest or trader en route can not. IOW no free spying activity by units who don't understand what their looking at.
8. Where is my secret desert/jungle/mountain/island cove military and alien contact facility?
9. Where is Kelly L. Johnson, Igor Sikorsky, John Philip Holland, the Wright Bros., Hans Von Ohain, Mikhail Koshkin, C.W. Abrams, Kalashnikov, Browning, Glock as engineers ( the result of encampment production towards engineer education when military academy is built)
I could go on but there isn't enough space
"Crosses fingers" 1 unit per tile goes away.
I really REALLY want them to return to a more mature and realistic look for this new Civ, rather than the stylized and cartoony look we got in Civ 6. Don't get me wrong, it was good for what they were going for, and some fans maybe preferred it. But I'm betting MOST Civ fans want a more gritty look.
Completely agree!
YES!! If it wasnt for the graphics mod i would never have played 6!
is it just me or i was hoping that there's an option to change the late era. i would love to stop at the late medieval age and win from there.
That would be brilliant!
I would love to see more units so we can customize our armies and maybe more specialized units like Marines, SF, drop shock units, suicide bomber, deep recon planes). I also want to see people and planes fly on their own to make cities feel more alive. Oh yeah and way better AI.
i really hope they expand upon the enemy ai and combat, i love the game but it always gets too easy at a certain point and the harder difficulties feel like a cop out since the ai isn't actually better but they just start with more resources/ less work time. I really hope this one will bring a great change to the game!
Completely agree! Thanks for watching
I'm pretty sure the new map will be spherical, a simulation of the planet.
I’m hoping for a map editor for consoles, but I’m excited either way. This games gonna look stellar
I'm a huge advocate for stylised visuals like in civ 6. Any game that has stylised visuals ages infinitely better than games that try for the "realistic" style. For example Team Fortress 2 and Zelda: Windwaker look just as good as they did when they released. You can't say the same thing about games like Half Life and COD4
To be honest, I had no idea people didn't like civ6's visuals lol, is that why leaders released in the expansions look different to the base game's ones?
a mechanic i would like there to be is that you can zoom in the city, and have the city distritcs built in the zoom mode, and you can personalize the looks of it, for example if u in war and they siege your city if you zoom you can see it would be destroyed
That could help make the cities feel more alive!
Smarter AI and NPCs is a must, id like to ally up with other civs, more friendly interactions and more ways to create war scenarios without people hating u because you chose to fight back against another civ trying to go to war with you.
Bring back leader screens like civ 5 had!! It was so unique!
It would be awesome that you can advance more in space age and have a completely other map option for colonization. Like Mars the moon exc3dra even weapons. And maybe a feature for after the great flood to drag out ancient times and the tech
Will be a masterpiece as long as visual is realistic.
I need some Story events like Old World. The closest I feel we got was hitting the Agendas of the AI.
I'd like a bit of that too - got to be careful it doesn't become too much though!
I hope they bring back future tech like colonizing space, space travel, etc. like they had in the old Civ games.
I'd really like more meaningful leader and nation bonuses from civ 7. Stuff that really changes how you play the game, so it stays fresh for more play throughs. Kind of how in civ 5 there were a few that really shook up the order that you do your buildings and research. In civ 6 I guess Eleanor is sort of interesting, but that's about it.
in Civ 6 I ran into the issue of starting a new playthrough on a new leader, and it doesn't really change how I should approach the game. Like at all. I still need the same things. In roughly the same order. Around the same number of cities for the same reasons.
I want to see more diversity in play styles too! Thanks for watching.
I wanna play Ancient Aliens Civ.
Ik not like civ at all but i wish they created a system of making ur own unique leader maybe even just the visuals bc i hate playing as someone that i dont feel cool playing idk maybe just me
Do some additional research on the civ and leader you’re playing as and you’ll feel cool 😎.
I’m watching Bushido as I play Japan lo
I’m hoping for more features like adding walls to your actual borders I feel it jsut makes sense to have a wall at your border better defend your city’s or atleast have china have a unique border wall being the Great Wall.
I liked playing China for that reason! Thanks for watching
If it lacks in content I will pass on it until it doesn't. Civ 6 is packed with content and I love it. It's going to take a lot for me to buy civ 7 at launch.
I want multi-player to get major improvements. I also want an AI who can think farther than 2 moves ahead in single player mode.
wait...what if we take revolutionary literarly? like actual civil wars and independece revolutions? that would be terrific(me orchestrating a us civil war in 2025 as norway, dont ask)
I'll definitly be keeping an eye on this. I enjoyed Civ 6 despite taking forever to learn it.. Hopefully I learn Civ 7 a little easier
Am I correct in thinking you picked it up on console? How did you find it once you got the hang of it?
It felt pretty decent to play. Obviously not as good as PC controls but still worked well enough
Honestly, Civ 6 and Civ 7 could exist along-side each other. Which would mean that Civ 7 could really innovate on its gameplay while Civ 6 still exists for the crowd that still want to play the old.
I get the feeling that Civ 7 will change a lot so that makes a lot of sense!
I just hope the game is taller and wider than c6- the game was awesome but I wouldn’t mind deeper actions and choices based on each thing you can build - I wouldn’t mind the game being longer -maybe 1000 turns ( I know I’m prob only one) but I want a deeper wars and city building as well.. civ6 fighting was good but again deeper mechanics and visuals such as platoons or army’s looking like that!
Completely understand where you're coming from! It's a tough balance between adding detail but not making it too complex for the experience much of its player base wants imo.
Any chance of modern AI?
I really hope they take aspects from Humankind...like the combat which is very refreshing.
And big cities
I wont be able to play huge earth TSL like in 6 but here we go!
What I really hope is that we get some really unique leader choices. I am tired to seeing bland choices like Queen Victoria, I'd rather see some really left-field leaders in the new game. Like Robespierre or Cardinal Richelieu for France - or the False Dmitri for Russia. Shake it up a little!
They should do somethings more in Eastern Europe like Russia Sweden and Poland under the Vasa's for a 2nd choice. Also adding Kievan Rus what is a trading/raiding with a bit of gold from farms to fund a strong army, Teutonic Order for a faith war feedback loop where killing countries of a different religion gives you faith so you can buy more men with faith so you get more faith killing what snowballs your army on pagan killing.
I'm always up for learning about new civs and leaders. I suspect we'll continue to get the usual leaders as they're a big selling point of the game. More leaders for each civ might open the door for a few more left-field choices.
We already got Eleanor of Aquitane in Civ 6, maybe we can get the default options first and then we get options to play as controversial leaders, imagine if they allowed Andrew Jackson to be the U.S alternative leader with his unique ability being able to have bonus damage to barbarians and other civilizations near or in his territories whilst also allowing him to steal other civilizations tiles and districts via purchase and is literally named "Trail of tears", that would be insanely amazing for today lol, but yeah, aggressive forward settling and stealing land might actually be a great early game strategy with a civ like that, at the cost of MANY grievances of course, and other civilizations who have met you and the other civ you are colonizing would have very high negative opinion of you so watch out.
As long as they have my Norway and their actual religion straight from the factory.
Yo they have it releasing on ps4/xbox one that is not a good sign at all that means lower performance and less demanding/complex the game is.
what i'd like to see them try is adding into the mix, cartels. plus, a return to countries being able to capitulate. also, they need to fix the warmonger penalty thing, when dealing with civs on a different continent. i'm tired of being declared a warmonger three turns after meeting new civs, on different continents. it's not my fault they can't accept the fact that i unified all civs and city states, under one flag....
Can they not accept the fact that you brought peace to your owm continent?
@@MultiplayerMedia bringing peace (or, pacification), is getting rid of the barbarian element, so i can put it trade routes. :)
Summary: I don't know anything more than you found out watching the zero gameplay trailer 😂
I just want that all the artists, writers and musicians to look like they did and not as just a plain npc
Civ 7 getting age of empires 2 graphics? Incredible
Players moving on from Civ VI? I haven't gotten around to buying it yet because I still play Civ V. I might do the recommended MS Windows behaviour and skip even editions.
I really hope we will get realistic AIs, and not ones that are buffed with non-existent resources.
Conquering an AI city with a population of 10, just for it to be only populated by 5 citizens maximum once you govern it... Is just so annoying.
This is a game where AI would actually be cool in regards to the different civs.
the main complains i had with civ 6 are:
AI, i only play CIV singleplayer being dumb and sometime easy to cheese easily breaks the immersion
performance (it runs perfectly on my pc, but i also want to play it on my mid-end laptop)
too much micro-management when you have lots (military) of units
late game being boring
If they fix at least 1 of those problems, i will happily buy the game
cant wait for the diplomacy dlc's to come
Man if civ 7 were just civ 5 plus the like 5 mechanics from civ 6 that were actually good, i would be completley satisified. hopefully they won't display complete ignorance by making cleopatra black again.
cannot wait, 25 is a disapointment though., but played every version of civ with all add n since v1 so.. hope to live long enough to put in 1500 hrs to civ 7 as well
I hope you enjoy Civ 7! Thanks for watching
🎉what is your favorite Civ game?
Bring back happiness
I would love to see a civil war mechanic. Instead of cities just revolting and becoming free cities, groups of cities could rebel under another color (but as the same civilization). This would allow you to have more in depth diplomatic relations, not only with these rebels, but with how other civilizations will approach the conflict.
Completely agree! Thanks for watching
I wish they'd make it available on GeForce Now....
Hopefully they dont punish us from taking over enemy cities for infinity...
That's why I wish I could turn the loyalty mechanic off sometimes. Thanks for watching!
The only "revolutionary" thing I'm waiting is archers that are not able to damage a tank. This is enough.
i hope we get a longer cave men time line
I want the leaders backgrounds and attire to reflect the era they have reached, with a less cartoony and more subdued graphical style. Also, I don't want the game to overly penalize players for having many cities. I disliked Civ 5 for that reason.
That would be a cool change for Civ 6 re the leaders. Yeah, I don't want penalties for playing "wide" either!
Better trade, making goods like in milennia or anno.
I'd like then to make another space civ mod like in civ 4
Civ7 and gta6 in 2025 🎉 which will come at first 😮
How is it 11 years since GTA V? When did I get this old?
Can they upgrade the AI instead of giving the user a handicap for difficulty 🙄
We need spherical maps.
Just one more turn...
Hopefully the game devs will depart from the lazy cartoon graphics of Civ 6 and move back to the more realistic and more popular graphics of Civ 5.
Will it be on the Xbox ?
I believe so!
I just want more civs in the base game 😂 I hated buying all the good civs that I liked.
I hope they go closer back to the Civ V looks, otherwise I'll just wait until the Civ V mod for Civ VII content comes out like it did with all of Civ VI content.
I am glad they made the characters in Civ VI looks less like bobble heads after a time. But yea I was not a fan of the mobile game look.
Mee too. I didnt like the cartoony interphase thats where i quit.
If Civ 6 graphics and art style = I'm not interested.
There better be more unique units for civs I thought 6 was lacking or their unit was pretty useless ie 🏴 of all the units we could of had they gave us a scout 🥴….co op scenarios and fix the crashes
O and one of the biggest problems 6 had was splitting the player base on multi player because of dlc the very least they could do is if the host is using dlc you can also play and what happened to ranked matches people are less likely to quit
more like civ 5 please :)
we need a GOT mod
POV: It wasn’t Civ VII but instead Civ Revolution
Civ Rev 3 please
No Mac. Guess I’m done with civs. :(
Vietnam in the base game please!!!!!
Please get rid of Era Score.
I'd be surprised if that was in the base game
hope its nothing like 6
Bring back civ rev
My first thought every day
WIsh he did more like Civilization Revolution so the games would be shorter.
I still love Civ Rev!
I've refused to move on from Civ 4. 5 & 6 were such a sellout
Are you thinking of giving Civ 7 a go?
Same here. Still play civ 4 although i prefer mechanics of civ 3
I just pray it’s not gonna be a woke affair with a forced over-emphasis on “strong women”
That art style is the best of both worlds hope they go with it
Please just don't do what cities skylines 2 did 😂
I like Civ 6 graphics vs 5. 5 looks like a cheap app game.
The cinematic was a C at best.
Gen AI or bust
I personally really liked the cartoony art style, as a then first time player it made it more inviting to me than games like HOI
I can see that. Thanks for watching!
let me guess, even more like a mobile phone game
Era locks
Yes!
love civ 5 hate civ 6 so there is that
Cartoonish civ 6 style is disgusting, i hope devs change that, i would like a more "serious" aproach to the game
