Hope they’re thinking more Civ V than Civ VI.
You like digging your own roads? I think the workers concept is vastly improved in VI
I agree with you on the cartoonish leaders though.

Re: Civilization 7 Is in Development
#13Did Civ6 end up being good? Civ games usually only beat their predecessors once the last expansion comes out. I stopped playing 6 after the climate change DLC. Was pretty underwhelmed. Has it matured now like 5 did?
Districts mechanics is great, I can’t imagine going back to the old everything in city center model. Loyalty mechanics is a mixed blessing, after so many years I can’t say whether I like it or not. I find climate mechanics a nice yet minor addition. AI is crappy as ever. But since you only stopped playing after Gathering Storms you should already know what I said above; the game hasn’t changed much since, even one major bug was left unfixed. Secret societies are fun but not at all balanced.

I hope they’re thinking more Alpha Centauri ;)

#15I hope they optimize the thing. I played one game of VI and felt the gameplay was an excellent fixup and polishing on the changes introduced in V, but it had gotten so slow that I was done after one game.

Thats actually a great idea. Imagine actually being able to talk Ghandi down from nuking everyone!
I read an interview a while back with a game developer who was asked why video games have historically had so much fighting and he responded with "it's easy to write." Take away is that as AI improves we will move to a world where conflict in video games will be very different - your example but also imagine being able to actually have to argue/convince characters in games using free form speech.
Exactly! Imagine word choice making the difference. Looking not too strong nor too weak. It would make for a really compelling game. Given Civ's AI track record my hopes are high but expectations low.

#18Not at all surprised. They will be making Civ sequels a hundred years from now. Tropico sequels too, probably.

Everything you said was basically my impression of the game when I left it. I didn't know about the last part, it doesn't surprise me they underdelivered on it.
