If you wanna get a feel for it, play Humankind. It does the same thing. It's actually pretty neat, because you're not really picking the Civ as much as the bonuses they grant your Civ. It allows you to build a more custom Civ over time.
Well, isn't it more strange that you can start as George Washington in 5000BC in previous games. Makes plenty of sense that your civ evolves and is called different names through time. Ancient Rome the state no longer exists, now it's Italy, and before that it was a bunch of kingdoms in the Medieval age.
Oohhh, that guy next to Isabella looks like Jose Rizal, a Famed Hero in our country who is also famed for being a chick magnet who has girlfriends in the different nations that he went to. 😂
The early decision space is nearly identical to Civ 5 & 6. Looking around the UI I understand everything. I got kinda burned out on Civ 6 after all the DLC so this is not a good feeling. Lots more interesting competition in this space since Civ 6. (Old World for example).
I agree, but who will play it? People like you and I stopped having kids decades ago. Current generations do not have enough IQ points to play a Civ 4 style game. Grab Chronicles of Mankind, it and and other mods expand on Civ 4 enough so Civ4 becomes a fresh experience.
@txdmsk Yeah, I am modding it to this day myself. But I also think that a civ 4 like game isn't actually that complicated on the surface. It does get complicated when you get into the details, but playing a casual game or two on Warlord can be fun for modern audience.
bro... the vietnam figure unlocks majapahit?? thats the messed up part here. shes not Indonesian. shes vietnamese. vietnam is not even on the same region as Indonesia. yes it's southeast Asia. but it's mainland southeast Asia and archipelago southeast Asia. if it's vietnam, it should be with thailand, Cambodia, myanmar, laos. if it's Indonesia, it's about Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines it's like if you pick maya, but you unlock Argentina in modern era. hope they fix that. need to release Indonesian figure for Majapahit. and that vietnamese need to unlock vietnam
But Ben Franklin unlocking Rome you're silent on? Lol, Vietnam and Indonesia are in the same region, only separated by a body of water the width of the Mediterranean.
Well for one, the actress doing the voice overs for the entire game is European, but also, if you pay attention to the intro, it's following that sword through history. That sword isn't European so why would it show a European holding it? It didn't show any Native Americans or Africans either, should they bitch as well?
But at least half the (never heard before) leaders are female! We FINALLY GOT WHAT WE WANTED. For since I started playing Civ 25 years ago I was crying myself to sleep wishing I could finally play as an ungabunga female villager from a civilization that never did anything worth mentioning. Now we can finally all do that!
*Degradation and simplification of games. The game was called "Civilization", but in the 7th they decided to move away from the concept of different civilizations, but left the name. I agree that the AI can't play, I ask to program one AI for all opponents, than to sharpen each opponent for its features, but even this was not in the 6th civilization. They released a ton of DLC for Civilization 6, but the AI dummies did not use even 10% of the DLC content.* Like the author, dislike the game
This game is garbage. -Forced diversity hire female leaders. -Leaders most people have never heard of. -Looks terrible. -3 map sizes? REALLY? -No real game options, such as ocean%, islands, barbarian intensity, resource distribution, and so on? -No victory condition options? -Gameplay looks meh. From the gameplay videos I watched it seems like "Civilization, but for idiots", like 6 and 5 were. -3 ages? REALLY? -Super limited tech tree, units, buildings, features. This is just a minimally viable shovelware garbage.
I get what you're saying about the forced diversity, but for unknown leaders, I think its cool to learn more about unknown leaders Ive never heard about, but that might be me loving history.
Wow some of those graphics in the intro are on the dodgy side. I liked the giant horse at 1:53 that doesn’t get smaller as it goes into the distance 🤣
I skipped all of that intro, don't know why people think that sells their game.
I find it very strange to choose a new civ after some time.

I dont get it at all. Why to have historical something at this point if its all so unrelatable? Everything can be just randomly generated
@@LordBLB I would rather suggest Millennia. The way Humankind does it is far too jarring and you barely spend any time before switching.
@@SteinerNeinThere is a fun Humankind mod that reduces the total civs to 3, like Civ 7. I enjoyed that A LOT more.
Is that Jose Rizal?
it looks like jose rizal :D

No Montezuma of Ghandi?
What a weird production. Who green lit this mechanic? A corporate board room white board with shareholders? I smell a bomb incoming.
They should finally go back to the Civ 4 formula.

This will be the first civ game I've ever passed on.

@@bigdog91paper Lol indeed, people gona be so upset about some civ transitions, that are neighbours, without ANY width of distance between them.
Finally I can rule the world as Bongobongoland
DENUVO though....D:
Not a single european in the intro, very modeirn
utopia

Oh no, poor baby 😢
@@bigdog91paper if they could hold a claim on being the pinnacle of civilization at any point in history then yes

Anyone know if this will run well on ARM64 PCs?
Oh, you will need more arms than that.

they're going to micro transaction this to death... the whole leader/civilization thing they did smacks of it...
No hot seat, horrendous pricing, content hidden behind price to establish fomo, no modern day era and civiliazation change. Hard pass :(
Can't wait for this game! I've been playing Sid Meier's games since Colonization!
Said no one ever.
Civ 5, 6 and 7 are lowest common denominator shovelware for people whose parents are blood related.
Meh, I was sorely disappointed by Civ VI. I will wait untils this one is fully baked and on promotion.
Thank God no more cartoony leader artstyle, i never liked civ 6 because of that
UI i so ugly, Icons dont have colours
I haven't seen a good civ game since the fourth one. 5 and 6 skipped because of predatory dlc.
Then you've been missing out, 5 and 6 are both great in their own respects
just sail the seas and play 5 man, its still good. also all future civ games will have dlcs. also civ 7 will have denuvo drm. they deserve 0 money
5 and 6 were absolute garbage for idiots. 7 will be the same.
If you want a good Civ game, play 4 modded, for example, with Chronicles of Mankind.
Would pirate to see if the gameplay at least is good, because it doesnt look like anything im going to pay money for, but alas, no shot.
This game is garbage.

What a kick in the nuts to civ fans.
eh! I'll pass

and?
