Civilization 7

[Tolstoi]

After seeing how many hours you all have wast..., um, I mean, invested in playing the Civ games, I've concluded you all don't sleep. Please share your secret so the rest of us can join the fun.

It’s those USA starts in 4000 BC or phalanxes vs. tanks that I never liked. But I would like to see ‘Dawg score a weed victory in Civ IV.

So would, Dawg

VI has been the easiest one for me to win at.  I've won a dozen games, at least, with different Civs each time.

^Bwahaha I would pay 5.00 for a 'Weed Dawg Victory' with Snoop as your leader or something.

[Martok]

^  Willie Nelson seems a bit more appropriate for MD.  But I agree that would be marvelous.   

[Steelie]

Dude, I would play a civilization with Willie and I wouldn't care which one   

[Gusington]

Slick Willie?

[W8taminute]

Since this is a family show I won't mention which Willie I was thinking of.

Wondering what everyone thinks now of Civ VII.

I just saw it pop up on Steam now, for wishlisting...it won't be out until 2025.

The cinematic trailer is just rah-rah PR crap and doesn't do any gameplay or any kind of indication of what's in it - then again I did skim it as it annoyed me by not sharing info on...oh, I don't know, the game? 

In any case I loved Civ II also, but I think I'd stick with V, flaws and all. I just can't get good with VI though I occasionally go back to it to try.

Looks like we'll get a look at actual gameplay this August, so that's something at least.

I'm honestly surprised that a weed-infused version is NOT a mod for any Civ games.

Looks like Reddit thinks this is a half-baked idea. 

[Gusington]

^Hahaha  ...I'll still take Snoop or Willie as the in-game avatar for that.

I tried Civ VI again yesterday and still do not like it, I apologize.

It's the cartoony-ness that gets me down.

The new trailer for VII gave a similar impression 

[BanzaiCat]

If they haven't improved the AI in IV, V, or VI, why would they want us to think they've done that for VII?

I agree. Cinematic release trailers are pretty worthless. I want to see the game.

Similarly, many Kickstarter release videos are big on hype and low on information about the game.

In a couple of hours (August 20):

So three ages:
Antiquity
Exploration
Modern

You can change civilizations for each age.

Leaders aren't necessarily civilization-specific.

Rivers are navigable!!!!

No Sean Bean narration.

Seems very similar to Humankind.... 
Need to read more on it.
