Civilization VII

[undercovergeek]

Change civilisation as in start as Egypt and change to XXX - surely the whole point of the game is steering your civ through the ages - well, it is for me

YouTuber I follow - has 6 or 7 uploads of him playing the game

looking forward to it but i am in no hurry. Have still plenty to game with CIV VI, Humankind and others.

The game looks really nice. Like the visuals. A little disappointed to see that only 3 periods will be available though. Somehow, it almost like a city-builder now.

^I noticed the three era cap too but I wonder if the tighter scope may make the game better. I am also happily surprised by the art style.

No way will I pre-order but I am more excited for this now than I was.

I'm not going to pre-order, either.  At $70.00 for the low end, I'll probably wait for a year, then buy on sale.  While I might pay $70 to an indie to support them (I just did that for Starship Simulator), I won't do that for a major studio.

I will admit I am much more interested in Civ 7 now than I was 24 hours ago.

I hope there are campaigns contained in one era only.

An option to create campaigns comprised of 1 or 2 eras would be welcome (by me anyway) as well.

If it's true that you dump your old game and start anew with each era, then they have finally turned Civ into a different game. 2-6 were each just variations on the prior.

it seems like the great unwashed are 50/50 over this

however, it seems its optional

I've never done Civ before, but I've been thinking about a city builder that moves through the ages, so i might pick this up down the line (ie at steep discount)

^There is an indy city builder that will be released into early access at the end of the month that spans the ancient era into the Renaissance that looks incredible...of course the full name escapes me at the moment but I think it begins with 'M'.

Starship Simulator? Thanks Tripoli.  Like I need another game to add to my wishlist.

It is defintely a labor of love for the developer, but I appreciate the vision he has. FWIW,  they had a really successful kickstarter.  https://starshipsimulator.co.uk/
