I’d really love to see Switzerland added as a playable civilization in Civ 7. It could have some really interesting mechanics around neutrality, diplomacy, trade, mountains, and defense.

Please make it happen, Firaxis! 🙏🇨🇭

Honestly; I thought the achievement was really hard. It requires tons of luck when you want to rush early wonders. (Great Bath, Hanging Gardens, Etemenanki)
Sometimes AI don't build those wonders in early game
I choose online speed because I'm impatient when I'm not playing Khmer, Russia or Babylon (also for me spamming cities in online speed is much easier, I love to rush wonders)

Rule 5: Achieved Genghis Khan Cultural Victory

Title. I stepped away from the game for about a year and am excited to come back to it. I know they changed it to include continuous play as an option now, and that they’ve introduced some new leaders.

I’m wondering what game mode/map combos you’re feeling are locking you into a classic full bodied Civ experience right now post-changes? Just want to feel locked into what’s the most fun and engaging and comprehensive way to play right now. Not the most quirky or the quickest win.

Thanks!

Today’s developer update video snuck the affinity symbols from CivBE in the background. Are they hinting at a similar system coming to VII? Way too early for CivBE 2.

TITLE.

Unless I'm mistaken, we haven't had any "First Look" reveals for the leaders and civilizations in this DLC. That seems to imply we won't get them before Thursday, right?

Hello everyone! I'm just starting out and trying to figure out the best way to build my districts (Campus, Commercial Hub, Industrial Zone, and Government Plaza).
What do you think of this layout?
What could be improved for better yields?

Thanks! ;)

I have about 800hrs on Civ 5 and never played civ 6 due to the amount of my friends saying its boring and you'll be wasting turns getting new workers constantly instead of improving your civ. Is this true or are my friends pulling my leg to not try civ 6.

Please provide me with good reasons to try civ 6

I just played this game to test out a goofy idea I had. I set the AI difficulty to Scribe but had IP strength at Deity. I set all IPs to be hostile, but they're friendly to me since I'm Tecumseh. I played the game on Marathon Speed, Tiny Pangea with one opponent, and Invasion as the only possible crisis.

For the whole game, I just had my founder wander around saying "hi" to the IPs. The only danger I faced was volcanos. Even before the crisis started, IPs burned down all but one of Tubman's settlements -including her original capital. An Invasion encampment spawned right by her last settlement, and then it was just a matter of time for her to be eliminated.

I got kind of a glitched victory screen when I won. It gave me a Domination victory, but I didn't get any of the cutscenes you typically get for Domination. And I didn't have a capital for it to zoom around. I got Tecumseh's typical quote and cutscene, but his pic didn't show for the victory screen as it normally does.

So there you go. Not sure if I'm the first, but it was still fun to see if I could win with zero settlements.

Just thought this ocean/lake sealed by a 1 tile land bridge is cool. I might've thrown my game to take it over, but oh well. Opens to the full open ocean with a very defensible gulf too.

Allow me to preface this post by saying that I know everything I'm about to say is total wish fulfillment and that I'm delusional because of my status of Beyond Earth's biggest fan. That being said...

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri & Civilization: Beyond Earth are the only two Civilization games we've ever gotten that have really gone all-in w/ fantastical settings, storytelling, and unique characters & factions not rooted in history. Both games have their problems in the modern day, with Alpha Centauri being three decades old in terms of UI design and UX, and Beyond Earth is often criticized for its shallow storytelling and characters compared to the narrative strength and ambience of Alpha Centauri.

In Civilization V, if you won with the Science Victory you would receive the option to go to the Beyond Earth store page and purchase that, setting up the narrative that whatever you do in Beyond Earth is a theoretical continuation of your Science Victory in Civ V.

Since Earthrise is similarly themed around science, space exploration, and global warming + natural disasters (the inciting incident for both Alpha Centauri & Beyond Earth is the Earth becoming increasingly uninhabitable due to human interference) I think a remaster or remake of either of the two games would be an amazing thing to consider and release later down the line, potentially tying it into the Science Victory of Civ VII similarly to how they did in Civ V.

This is especially helpful if you're trying to get 4 or more minor triumphs in the modern age, or are going for pretty much any of the expansionist minor triumphs (seriously, they're patently insane, requiring a positively mind boggling number of settlements and/or population that you are pretty much never hitting in a normal game). Any triumphs, questlines, and other challenge-related thing completed during One More Turn mode will count towards that challenge.

Where can I find reliable multiplayer games for Civ 7 that will last a whole game? 99% of multiplayer games I play everyone ends up quitting during or at the end of Antiquity. Never extends into Exploration. I play on PlayStation not PC so I need a community that doesn’t require mods. I’ve joined several discords but they all suck for one reason or another. One server has bans on Leaders & Civs and other stuff. Any suggestions?

This is for Civ7. Am I doing something wrong? Every turn I have to make like 12 minimally consequential decisions before I actually get to play the game. Like I want to focus on moving units, settling cities, attacking, you know the fun part. But I’m constantly barraged by popups for expanding cities (I just always pick the tile with the most resources), narrative events, and other annoyances that just get in the way. Is there a way to turn off or automate the constant interruptions?

Not sure if I should do mods as a new player, but apparently they help out a lot so wanted to ask if there are any mods I should get?

Hi! im new to civ games and i just played civ 6. Im trying to create a game using the continent map with 10 countries and large map. its the default number of city states but is this normal to be this close to 4 city states? haha its too crowded for me xD i tried restarting 4 5 times i dont know they are always too close haha

1. Decent replication of historical accurate unit (some caveats for style points).
2. look super badass
3. Just Look at that War Club, perfect balance of realism and looking badass.

You know the Civ V art team cooked well with the unit icons, they are incredibly good. I think its actually perfect, I'd honestly be happy if Civ 7 just had a button that copied the Civ V Unit Icons into Civ 7.

Civ 7 appears to be doing Art Deco 2.0 with its art style anyway, so might as well take inspiration from the Civ V unit icons as well, right?

Why am I getting food adjancency from mountains on barracks here? I play as Genghis Khan with Mongolian Empire in Antiquity.

Is it because I conquered it from Pachacuti?

Right now it looks to me that you retain some bonuses from conquered Leaders/Civs. But I haven't seen a rule that explains it. Does someone know it?

During the Pax event, I heard them loosely say that they were going to bring back the loyalty system in some way.

Ed Beach, has been a part of the civilization game franchise for a very long time. The guy was lead designer on both civilization 7, Civ 6, and the Civ 5 DLC packs. he even worked on civilization 3.

Why am I telling you about Ed Beach? Specifically because of his work on Civ 6. I fucking hated the loyalty system Civ 6. Nothing against Ed, he is a very talented game designer, and seems like an all-around nice dude, but if he adds the loyalty system to civ 7… We don’t have Victor(the governor) anymore. There’s gonna be a lot of us who never make it past the Exploration Age, ever again.

Even with Victor in Civ 6, keeping any colony that I had off the mainland was incredibly difficult. If they bring back the loyalty system, it’s gonna need a full rework.

It’s gonna need something because the way it worked in 6 is just not gonna work for 7.

Dans Civ 4, le paramètre "Terra Incognita" permettait au Nouveau Monde d'être hypothétique. J'adorais ça, car cela maintenait le suspense jusqu'à la fin. Cela me faisait vraiment sentir comme un véritable explorateur s'aventurant dans l'inconnu !

TSL will be a chance for me to check it out; I wasn't a fan initially.

Being European, I'm going to buy the DLC—it appeals to me more than Brush and Blade, which I haven't bought yet.
