Navigable rivers, more dynamic terrain, trains, civ-specific architecture and better sprawl generation... This game shows how far we've come in terms of game technology since 2016
@@wedonteatbears almost every single feature you mentioned was there in sole form in Civilization 1, or at the very least 2. Navigable rivers perhaps not very literally, but travelling along the rivers was like using roads, only 1/3 movement point cost, and made a lot of sense from historical point of view. Dynamic terrain as in terrain changed due to climate change, nuclear wars and direct changes by settlers was there too. The last two things are not game mechanics, so honestly I don't care.
I started playing Civilization III when I was 8 years old. my brother, may he rest in peace, brought the game home and he was the one who got me into gaming to begin with. now that I'm 30, I can only think about how long it has been, how I need to take care of myself to see the beginning of another Civilization game and how I wish my brother was here to enjoy the game with me. man, it sure has been a long run, Civ has been one my comfort games with Mass Effect and WoW, I'm so excited about where this is going 💓
My Grandfather introduced me to Civilization when I was a child back in the 90’s. We spent countless hours playing it together through the years. He unfortunately passed away around the time of Civ 5 but I know he would have loved this ❤
You grandfather was the epitomy of being grand. May he rest in peace. The first one was sure a gem amidst the shitty games back in the day. I think I was 13 when it came out. While waiting for VII I am enjoying VI :) Cheers.
That's awesome bro. I hope to be a game playing grandpa one day and inspire my grandsons and daughters. How exciting is that. I can't wait for my son to grow up and play games with him.
You know it is supposed to hurt? It's beautiful if you think about it. Our hearts feeling the absence and still being full of love for those that are gone. I'm sure your grandpa is so proud of being remembered fondly to this very day, wherever he is now. Thank you for this beautiful thing you shared with us, brother.
@@LuckystrikeNQ Does that really need explaining? Navigable rivers allow maritime trade for inland cities, and ease of travel. It's realistic. It's cool.
I've played all Civ parts for thousands of hours - Civ 2 was great, but 4 with all add-ons is still the best part. Maybe you can convince him to try out some of the new (civ iv -> 2005) stuff
i’m just happy natural disasters and stuff seem to come as standard (hopefully with improvements). as much as people didn’t seem to like their implementation, i liked feeling like the map was actually dynamic and changing
It seems they got "inspired" by humankind graphics style. Lets hope they incorporate the outpost mechanic in some way. It was a great idea that amplitude had.
My dream for a Civ game is to see more societal aspects. My only gripe for other Civ games is no matter what type of government you have, it feels the same. I want to be able to see how my decisions affect my civilization. Idk if that makes sense.
Might want to pause on that retirement. They are going to force us to change civilizations each new era. I will not be playing the new civilization unless they removed that feature.
One thing that strikes me about this trailer is how detailed the the terrain is now. It's a lot more vibrant and textured compared to Civ 6, which could often look identical. Even the layout of the cities seems to have been improved. They're not as disjointed as they used to be. There seems to be a lot more urban sprawl in the surrounding countryside.
It definitely feels like they're going for a return to Civ 5 graphics, even the units aren't compromised of like three dudes anymore, there's a lot of them now occupying a single tile. Except the cavalry weirdly.
@@Muircetach Yeah but the units still look goofy for me. Look at the battleship that has some large af guns squeezed onto that tiny hull. Just make the units smaller again and not this oversized
Played IV as a sophomore in high school. Played V as a sophomore in college. Played VI as a 3L in law school. Now I’ll play VII my first year as a dad. Love this legendary game!
I love how they've scaled back the cartoonish artstyle of Civ 6 while maintaining its vibrant colors whilst maintaining the realism of Civ 5. A beautiful blend of both games. I think the units are WAY too big, but that's something mod authors can address later down the line
@@tyler5914 Yeah, what? If that's true then the game really will be awful. I hate the building style that they introduced with Civ IV, scaled back with Civ V and then forced into Civ VI. Looks like this game uses that same terrible building style (everything takes a tile).
@@tyler5914 source?? Edit, found it - and it doesn’t seem good. Progressing through the eras is also crucial to the other massive change in Civilization VII: namely, that you are no longer bound to a single civilization throughout the entire game. You'll pick your and civ at the start of the game, but then as you transition into the Exploration and Modernity phases, you'll choose a new civilization with its own unique traits.

There was no Steam back then, so nothing counting the play hours. But the original Civ is probably my most played game ever. And that's with about 6.5k hours in CIV V.
you havent seen lithuanian news channels mass deleting ''reality check'' comments on ukraine propaganda over 9000....''ukraine is about to conquer russia'' LMAO....
What are you even talking about? Just scroll down! You guys have to stop with this paranoia about "deleted comments on RUclips" crap. Not only there is plenty of negative comments on the bottom, but YT comment section has been buggy for years now, and because YT operates on cloud network, with the most important task of syncing views and likes, it doesn't always update all the comments, and some disappear because of that, specially if done when a new video is posted, since the data change on newer videos is higher than older videos. This is basic stuff, and instead you are going down a conspiracy rabbit hole.
@@herlandercarvalhoI wish that were the case. Ever since I've started commenting things not so favourable of certain organisations youtube would back, my stuff has been getting shadowbanned if I'm not careful even in casual contexts. And I'm not saying slurs or whatever just actual feedback
I have played Civ since 2011 when I was 9 years old. When Covid hit Civ 6 was pretty much the only game that I played and it really was the silver lining of the pandemic. This series has followed me through my entire life and really shaped the way I see the world. I am so happy that that will continue.
I started in 1999. Civ 2. Playing on a LAN with my friends in our school's computer room after class. Hoping to play Civ 7 online with one of them some day.
0:44 inland cliffs? 0:32 Weather disasters (interesting bit of land next to that volcano, hills maybe?). 0:29 River trading (can units use them too? Also whats that white stuff on the dead trees top right?). 0:48 Monument taking a tile? (do buildings take tiles now? Or maybe just aesthetic). 0:49 Tiles blend together really well and look great! (Districts I assume) 0:53 Wonders still take a whole tile. 1:18 Trainyard/station. 1:28 mountain plateau? (maybe natural wonder?). Not really seeing many farms, do we build houses now?
No reason? More like about time. Navigable rivers have been fundamental to the development of human civilizations since time immemorial. The Mississippi still IS fundamental to United States trade and development. It was a massive oversight not including them in previous games.
@@ChristopherTriplett What I mean is that from a gameplay perspective it doesn't do that much I do like it as I said an amazing decision especially considering how in real civilization rivers where really important as you said
@@IDKisReal2401 It doesn't do much in the games because it has never existed in the games bruh. Every game I play there are rivers that at some point would have made excellent sense to embark troops down in order to move them more quickly. Or trade routes for that matter. Or having ship-yards at the end of a massive river allowing in-land high production cities to produce some (Maybe not AC's) naval vessels, especially when you have several major cities along a river towards a coastal city. Or even scouting in the early game could be entirely changed if you spawn next to a river.
Looks promising, but I am sceptical about the switching civ per age. I think I would rather just play the same civ throughout the ages. Wouldn't have mind it much if the leader changes per age, but a leader from that specific age.
This is what happens in human kind. Human kind is a really good game in honesty. There is more competition about now. I hope this game live up to the legend of its predecessors. I have thousands of hours across the series :)
Eso que propones sería innovar, pero es mucho más fácil copiar a Humankind, sale más barato, le coges los deberes al compi, firmas y te llevas la nota. Una vergüenza absoluta
@@BjornBS is this confirmed? I didn’t see the evidence in the trailer but only watched it once. Are you saying each era you’ll have to switch? If I start as Rome I can end up being Portugal or something?
Everything seemed great... until I learned... Each new era they are going to force us to change civilizations. :( Consider me out. Not going to play unless they remove that. What is the point of playing if you cannot stay the same civ throughout the ages.
"What I couldn't stand was the disproportion of the characters compared to the mountains and other scenery. I was hoping that with Civilization 7, they would take a step back from the style of Civilization 6, but I see that hasn't been addressed, so I will stick with Civilization 5."
My frist Civ game was Civ III. The thing I love about this franchise is that with every new game I still get filled with nostalgia and can identify how the ideas from the first games are part of the new dynamics. Love Civ, since my frist turn to today.
Mine was Civ II, which I started playing with my nephew on my knee (he wouldn't sleep)...my now 23 year old nephew started with Civ 4 and can convincingly kick my ass in Civ 6.
I've played every Civilization since the first. The older I get, the less time I've had to spend on each new game. I've played dozens of games of Civ, Civ 2 and 4 as a kid and teenager. A few Civ 5, and then it dropped off a cliff with Civ 6 when I entered full dad mode. To me it still feels like a new game I barely dipped my toes into. Yet it's 8 years old already! Yikes! Getting old is scary.
@@Captain.Fantastic I feel that, brother. Civ 4 lan parties in my buddy's basement in high school were top-tier memories. Hasn't been the same since then. But I can't wait to game with the boys I've got left in the nursing home...if there's still a world left!
@@hairharbor5080 I played several games of Civ 3 too, but much less than 1, 2 and 4. For some reason it didn't leave the lasting impression that the others did, and I didn't play it as often. Could be I was distracted with other things during its time window.
@@wojtulacehoe5089 Endless Legend is great, except for the AI that barely does anything. In the few games I played it was extremely passive. That's the problem with these games that have very detailed mechanics. Coding an AI that is up to the task is extremely difficult, so the developers frequently skimp on it and leave it underdeveloped.
The only thing I miss, is that seeing my people doing their everyday things (mining woodcutting or riding a train etc.) to make my empire feel more alive. Otherwise looks amazing!
I don't think enough people are talking about verticality yet- it looks like you have cliffs leading down to more land below, with ability to create elevators/something like that? Elevation is something we haven't ever seen here!!
@@Owlero She was one of the most annoying characters in GoT. Everytime she got into a fight she would let out these horrific screams and it's just stuck in my head now. I can't listen to her voice without thinking of that lmao
That was my exact first thought too! Like it's great to get some in game footage, but there wasn't a single *gameplay* thing in that whole trailer haha.
There were hints about things though. A boat going up a river. Continuing with a districts-like system where you have buildings/etc taking tiles. The keeping of natural disasters. But I get your point. Though even as someone that's planning to stick with Civ V there were things I liked such as them making civs' unit styles look more unique. And the art style.
Played the OG on DOS, when all you got were squares on a VGA monitor. Still spent countless hours, beat the game with all civilizations: Zulu, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, American, Germans, Mongols, Indians, French, English, Egyptian, Babylonians, Aztec, Japanese, Russian.
I like aztecs but im kinda sick of them, it would be nice to have a different leader, like benito juarez, francisco i madero, lazaro cardenas, just something different that is noy aztecs
Read the description in this video. It seems there will be some sort of culture evolution mechanics like in Humankind and also it looks like the leaders are decoupled from the civilization. So it'a definitely possible for any leader to lead any civilizations like Napoleon leading the English for example.
@JTNugget I remember how when 6 came devs said : no dlc , u buy full game , guess what there are dlcs for civ6. Same will be for civ7 And now every dlc will be 30+ Usd. ))))
@@spookygulag9342 yes but it's just few dlc's and not a paradox game. ;) the dlc's for civ are making the game better, not the same way for the other one
Simple fix to solve hate: Make civ changes optional. Award a "legacy" bonus for staying w a civ that counters not getting age relevant units etc. If you want to take the Aztecs to space you can. If you want to min\max w civ changes you can. Forcing change on players = bad. Don't steal my Roman legion musket lines.
Was wondering when we’d get a woman to narrate, and Captain Phasma does not disappoint. We had Spock, the Keeper from Legend of the Seeker, Boromir, and now Ser Brienne.
@@crossxer6099 Mobile is bad I agree, normally I prefer graphics close to that of Civ 5 but the graphics of Civ 6 have really grown on me and I like them a lot.
Civ 2 is still my favourite game of all time. I used it so much, that eventually the CD-ROM -which unfortunately you always had to leave in the drive, got scratched and wouldn't work any more. I probably played that for 10+ years. If only I could get a genuine replacement and have it work on Windows 11!
Los ríos navegables de per se no es una mecánica diferencial, tiene un mod de civ6 que da mucha vida a las aguas y mods de civ6 que añaden ese city sprawl
Get ready to cry again but sad tears. Each new era they are going to force us to change civilizations. :( May not even play it now because of it. What's the point of playing if I do not stay the same civilization each era.
My cousin introduced me to Civilization when I was a kid. Started with Civ IV, played it a ton & loved it. Played V and loved it. Never played VI because my pc broke &life got in the way so I never got it fixed. I’ll be playing Civ VII on my PS5.
I've played Sid Meier's Civilization since the very first one in 1991 when I was just a young teen, man I'm getting old. I can count on one hand with missing fingers how many games were bad or even underperforming, just a classic strategy game! I'm sure it'll be great!
@@tyler5914 Seems like a far fetch. ATM the game and civs are designed to have tech and stuff only in their era/age. They basically have 1/3 of the content you would need to play as an single civs thro all the ages. Won't be buying the game. They ruined civ for me.
Civilization 6 is ok, but there's something about Civilization 5 that is great. I hope this civilization will be outstanding in every detail. Can't wait for the release ❤🎉😊
@@fiddleriddlediddlediddle this is the most acurate comment ever i was just thinking the exact same i look forward to playing a gimped version of 7 with none of the features it will eventually contain and paying 4 full game prices for the final build..
Looks cool. To be honest I never left Civ IV, as I think the series peaked with it - especially the AI's difficulty, as it never seemed to work well with no unit stacking. Here's hoping this is the one that makes me move on! [EDIT] Also, remember: no preordering!!!
Goodness gracious I really didn't think I could get excited for Civ anymore but here we are Edit: holy cow those pre-order prices are wild! I certainly hope the plan isn't to lock factions behind a pre-orders?
Exacto, han copiado a Humankind y pretenden clavarnos 80 napos por su copia del juego, y no os adelantéis con ese "But better" no nos han enseñado a nadie jugando, son imágenes scripteadas, y hay un texto abajo diciendo "susceptible a cambio en la versión final" huele a que el Humankind va a ser gloria, yo no pre-compraría esto ni con el dinero de mi peor enemigo.
So, is it more like civ 5 or 6? It looks more like 6 but an actual gameplay video will really tell. I personally preferred expanding my empire more like in 5
I’m Egyptian, and I have no idea why Egypt would transition to Songhai or Buganda! They’re seperate countries that had nothing to do with Egypt, especially in the exploration and modern eras! They aren’t even neighbours! I mean I would understand if it transitioned to Roman, Arabia, Ottoman, English or French. All those ruled Egypt at some point.
English or French?? What? Just because they ruled, doesn't mean they are any closer to it, culturally speaking. Have you heard about vassal states? Because that' was at some point a thing in one of the Civ games, but claiming that Egypt is more close related to English or French, is just dumb! The Nile, and all the cultures and civilizations that passes through, specially in antiquity, were rivers played an intrinsically fundamental role in trade and where settlements were established to be able to access fresh water, has far more significance than England or France, on Egyptian culture and nationhood, not to mention that those 2 nations alone, have pillaged Egypt from its cultural heritage. Probably, one of the dumbest things to ever be written in YT comment section, congrats on that achievement!

Not only there is plenty of negative comments on the bottom, but YT comment section has been buggy for years now, and because YT operates on cloud network, with the most important task of syncing views and likes, it doesn't always update all the comments, and some disappear because of that, specially if done when a new video is posted, since the data change on newer videos is higher than older videos. This is basic stuff, and instead you are going down a conspiracy rabbit hole.
@@herlandercarvalhoI wish that were the case. Ever since I've started commenting things not so favourable of certain organisations youtube would back, my stuff has been getting shadowbanned if I'm not careful even in casual contexts. And I'm not saying slurs or whatever just actual feedback

Can’t wait to see your art on this very trailer love your videos ❤
HUZZAH!
Yes, dreams do indeed come true
Huzzah! Hope you'll make great content with this game

I have played Civ since 2011 when I was 9 years old. When Covid hit Civ 6 was pretty much the only game that I played and it really was the silver lining of the pandemic. This series has followed me through my entire life and really shaped the way I see the world. I am so happy that that will continue.
same here, except I started with the first one in 1993. I was 11
@@Oberonjames 1991, I was 14.
@@Oberonjames I'm sure some 11 year old right now will have the same experience with civ 7
I started in 1999. Civ 2. Playing on a LAN with my friends in our school's computer room after class. Hoping to play Civ 7 online with one of them some day.
Cant wait for Civilization 8
0:44 inland cliffs? 0:32 Weather disasters (interesting bit of land next to that volcano, hills maybe?). 0:29 River trading (can units use them too? Also whats that white stuff on the dead trees top right?). 0:48 Monument taking a tile? (do buildings take tiles now? Or maybe just aesthetic). 0:49 Tiles blend together really well and look great! (Districts I assume) 0:53 Wonders still take a whole tile. 1:18 Trainyard/station. 1:28 mountain plateau? (maybe natural wonder?). Not really seeing many farms, do we build houses now?
1:28 is Roraima mountain I guess
If theres no farms im not buying
The white stuff looks like ash to me. I’m pretty sure I see a tree on fire to the left of them, but I’m just speculating a bit here.
It's possible that at 0:32 we're seeing a volcano create new land from the sea

Navigable rivers for no reason is an amazing decision
And I mean it
No reason? More like about time. Navigable rivers have been fundamental to the development of human civilizations since time immemorial. The Mississippi still IS fundamental to United States trade and development. It was a massive oversight not including them in previous games.
@@ChristopherTriplett What I mean is that from a gameplay perspective it doesn't do that much
I do like it as I said an amazing decision especially considering how in real civilization rivers where really important as you said
No reason? The fan pages on Reddit have been asking for it. I’m one of those people.
@@IDKisReal2401 It doesn't do much in the games because it has never existed in the games bruh. Every game I play there are rivers that at some point would have made excellent sense to embark troops down in order to move them more quickly. Or trade routes for that matter. Or having ship-yards at the end of a massive river allowing in-land high production cities to produce some (Maybe not AC's) naval vessels, especially when you have several major cities along a river towards a coastal city. Or even scouting in the early game could be entirely changed if you spawn next to a river.
They are going to force us to change civilizations each new era. Consider me out.
The cities are really beautiful and a huge step up. I hope the gameplay is as fun as it looks good.
So excited for the next Civ game! I always love starting hundreds of games and finishing very few of them! 🤣
SAAAAME
NUCLEAR GANDHI LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Looks promising, but I am sceptical about the switching civ per age. I think I would rather just play the same civ throughout the ages. Wouldn't have mind it much if the leader changes per age, but a leader from that specific age.
This is what happens in human kind. Human kind is a really good game in honesty. There is more competition about now. I hope this game live up to the legend of its predecessors. I have thousands of hours across the series :)
Eso que propones sería innovar, pero es mucho más fácil copiar a Humankind, sale más barato, le coges los deberes al compi, firmas y te llevas la nota. Una vergüenza absoluta
@@tomschannel4122 That's not a bad point, but I don't want to play Humankind again
@@BjornBS is this confirmed? I didn’t see the evidence in the trailer but only watched it once. Are you saying each era you’ll have to switch? If I start as Rome I can end up being Portugal or something?
Everything seemed great... until I learned... Each new era they are going to force us to change civilizations. :( Consider me out. Not going to play unless they remove that. What is the point of playing if you cannot stay the same civ throughout the ages.
"What I couldn't stand was the disproportion of the characters compared to the mountains and other scenery. I was hoping that with Civilization 7, they would take a step back from the style of Civilization 6, but I see that hasn't been addressed, so I will stick with Civilization 5."
1 MINUTE AGO. WE ARE BACK TO DOMINATE GAMING
5 minutes for me. Got distracted by breakfast, lol
I've got something to tell you
1 HOUR AGO.
Please say Christopher Tin is composing the music!! ❤❤
@@HoneyTwee It does sound in his style
Confirmed, he is.
Those first three notes of the score made me think it was Trent Reznor.
It's been confirmed in the live!
It sounds like this trailer music was inspired by Hanz Zimmer's Time.
My frist Civ game was Civ III. The thing I love about this franchise is that with every new game I still get filled with nostalgia and can identify how the ideas from the first games are part of the new dynamics. Love Civ, since my frist turn to today.
Mine was Civ II, which I started playing with my nephew on my knee (he wouldn't sleep)...my now 23 year old nephew started with Civ 4 and can convincingly kick my ass in Civ 6.
I've played every Civilization since the first. The older I get, the less time I've had to spend on each new game. I've played dozens of games of Civ, Civ 2 and 4 as a kid and teenager. A few Civ 5, and then it dropped off a cliff with Civ 6 when I entered full dad mode. To me it still feels like a new game I barely dipped my toes into. Yet it's 8 years old already! Yikes!
Getting old is scary.
@@Captain.Fantastic I feel that, brother. Civ 4 lan parties in my buddy's basement in high school were top-tier memories. Hasn't been the same since then. But I can't wait to game with the boys I've got left in the nursing home...if there's still a world left!
Too bad you missed out on Civ III, the best of the series.
I have only played V and never came back to it after I tried Endless Legend.
@@hairharbor5080 I played several games of Civ 3 too, but much less than 1, 2 and 4. For some reason it didn't leave the lasting impression that the others did, and I didn't play it as often. Could be I was distracted with other things during its time window.
@@wojtulacehoe5089 Endless Legend is great, except for the AI that barely does anything. In the few games I played it was extremely passive. That's the problem with these games that have very detailed mechanics. Coding an AI that is up to the task is extremely difficult, so the developers frequently skimp on it and leave it underdeveloped.
The only thing I miss, is that seeing my people doing their everyday things (mining woodcutting or riding a train etc.) to make my empire feel more alive. Otherwise looks amazing!
Each new era they are going to force us to change civilizations. :(
Just dont ruin it with 64 small DLCs....
I don't think enough people are talking about verticality yet- it looks like you have cliffs leading down to more land below, with ability to create elevators/something like that? Elevation is something we haven't ever seen here!!
Not enough people are talking about the fact *each new era they are going to force us to change civilizations.* :( Consider me out.
I can't wait for Sean Bean to sensually read more historical quotes for us.

@@JustAnotherAccount8 whats wrong with Gwendoline Christie? She's got a great speaking voice.
@@Owlero She was one of the most annoying characters in GoT. Everytime she got into a fight she would let out these horrific screams and it's just stuck in my head now. I can't listen to her voice without thinking of that lmao
Let me know February 2029 when they are finished releasing 87 different dlcs and the game is actually complete
This wasn't even a gameplay reveal, it was more of a cinematic reveal
That was my exact first thought too! Like it's great to get some in game footage, but there wasn't a single *gameplay* thing in that whole trailer haha.
There were hints about things though. A boat going up a river. Continuing with a districts-like system where you have buildings/etc taking tiles. The keeping of natural disasters.
But I get your point. Though even as someone that's planning to stick with Civ V there were things I liked such as them making civs' unit styles look more unique. And the art style.
@@travisrobinson4521 there's a stream bro hop on
@@mwplaylist2890 Yeah I'd rather play Civ V as well. I don't like this art style (looks like the new Age of Empires game, blech).
Played the OG on DOS, when all you got were squares on a VGA monitor. Still spent countless hours, beat the game with all civilizations: Zulu, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, American, Germans, Mongols, Indians, French, English, Egyptian, Babylonians, Aztec, Japanese, Russian.

@@Marc.1776. the aztecs are mexico?
I like aztecs but im kinda sick of them, it would be nice to have a different leader, like benito juarez, francisco i madero, lazaro cardenas, just something different that is noy aztecs
Read the description in this video.
It seems there will be some sort of culture evolution mechanics like in Humankind and also it looks like the leaders are decoupled from the civilization. So it'a definitely possible for any leader to lead any civilizations like Napoleon leading the English for example.
Si, espero que si esté como civilización aparte de los aztecas y mayas, los 3 juntos pero separados al mismo tiempo
Now we wait for a huge sale with all the 3462 DLCs.
This isn't a Paradox game.
@JTNugget I remember how when 6 came devs said : no dlc , u buy full game , guess what there are dlcs for civ6. Same will be for civ7
And now every dlc will be 30+ Usd. ))))
it's not paradox, there are just few dlc's
@@spookygulag9342 yes but it's just few dlc's and not a paradox game. ;) the dlc's for civ are making the game better, not the same way for the other one
??? Both Civ 5 and Civ 6 had like 2 big DLC's with new mechanics and more civilisations and couple small packs with additional civs
Simple fix to solve hate: Make civ changes optional. Award a "legacy" bonus for staying w a civ that counters not getting age relevant units etc. If you want to take the Aztecs to space you can. If you want to min\max w civ changes you can. Forcing change on players = bad. Don't steal my Roman legion musket lines.
We need Sean bean please
so true
We got Brienne of Tarth instead.
Civ 4 had Nimoy, 5 had Sheppard, 6 had Bean. It's good to switch things up.
Was wondering when we’d get a woman to narrate, and Captain Phasma does not disappoint. We had Spock, the Keeper from Legend of the Seeker, Boromir, and now Ser Brienne.
I need a music full release
Big same.

Looks great, the visuals seem to me like a mix between 4, 5 and 6
sadly with switch quality pixel counts. Huge regression.
Civ 2 is still my favourite game of all time. I used it so much, that eventually the CD-ROM -which unfortunately you always had to leave in the drive, got scratched and wouldn't work any more. I probably played that for 10+ years. If only I could get a genuine replacement and have it work on Windows 11!

City sprawl and naviguable rivers, I'm going to fucking cry
Los ríos navegables de per se no es una mecánica diferencial, tiene un mod de civ6 que da mucha vida a las aguas y mods de civ6 que añaden ese city sprawl
Get ready to cry again but sad tears. Each new era they are going to force us to change civilizations. :( May not even play it now because of it. What's the point of playing if I do not stay the same civilization each era.
personally I never liked the look of city sprawl that began in IV. Much preferred Civ III style.
My cousin introduced me to Civilization when I was a kid. Started with Civ IV, played it a ton & loved it. Played V and loved it. Never played VI because my pc broke &life got in the way so I never got it fixed. I’ll be playing Civ VII on my PS5.
I've played Sid Meier's Civilization since the very first one in 1991 when I was just a young teen, man I'm getting old.
I can count on one hand with missing fingers how many games were bad or even underperforming, just a classic strategy game!
I'm sure it'll be great!
Remember, people. No matter how good a franchise is. Never pre-order stuff!
I’m really hyped for this game now!
This will be my entire 30s lol. Just like civ 6 was my entire 20s 😂

Please, tell us the new civ-swapping "feature" is going to be optional...
It's not. They ruined the game. I'm hoping enough people make an outcry that they remove it from the game before they release it
@@tyler5914 Seems like a far fetch. ATM the game and civs are designed to have tech and stuff only in their era/age. They basically have 1/3 of the content you would need to play as an single civs thro all the ages. Won't be buying the game. They ruined civ for me.
Cannot wait for this installment!! Over 600 hours in Civ VI and I can't wait to put as many into Civ VII 😍
Looks like there is a focus on making each Civ city look really unique, which would be really nice
Civilization 6 is ok, but there's something about Civilization 5 that is great. I hope this civilization will be outstanding in every detail. Can't wait for the release ❤🎉😊
They ruined the game by forcing us to change to a different civilization each new technological era in the new civ.

To be honest I never left Civ IV, as I think the series peaked with it - especially the AI's difficulty, as it never seemed to work well with no unit stacking.
Here's hoping this is the one that makes me move on!
[EDIT] Also, remember: no preordering!!!
The style and lighting is wonderful; from a graphical perspective this looks amazing!
1:13 not the best character models

Nice ! Happy to see the game art finally doesn't look like a sell off f2p mobile game like Civ VI. this is actually such a relief
The way the city spreads out from just being a tile to sprawling across the landscape is incredible
Finally gonna be sailing DOWN DOWN DOWN BY THE RIVERRR.
Can we get actual gameplay vid next?
This trailer and the steam discription feel like, Civ is "borrowing" ideas of Humankind and tells us: "we can do that, too. But better"
Exacto, han copiado a Humankind y pretenden clavarnos 80 napos por su copia del juego, y no os adelantéis con ese "But better" no nos han enseñado a nadie jugando, son imágenes scripteadas, y hay un texto abajo diciendo "susceptible a cambio en la versión final" huele a que el Humankind va a ser gloria, yo no pre-compraría esto ni con el dinero de mi peor enemigo.

I’m Egyptian, and I have no idea why Egypt would transition to Songhai or Buganda! They’re seperate countries that had nothing to do with Egypt, especially in the exploration and modern eras! They aren’t even neighbours!
I mean I would understand if it transitioned to Roman, Arabia, Ottoman, English or French. All those ruled Egypt at some point.
English or French?? What? Just because they ruled, doesn't mean they are any closer to it, culturally speaking. Have you heard about vassal states? Because that' was at some point a thing in one of the Civ games, but claiming that Egypt is more close related to English or French, is just dumb! The Nile, and all the cultures and civilizations that passes through, specially in antiquity, were rivers played an intrinsically fundamental role in trade and where settlements were established to be able to access fresh water, has far more significance than England or France, on Egyptian culture and nationhood, not to mention that those 2 nations alone, have pillaged Egypt from its cultural heritage. Probably, one of the dumbest things to ever be written in YT comment section, congrats on that achievement!
I wish for better AI please. Looks good
@@SagaraJedah not in this series. Sometimes I have a feeling the AI is getting worse and worse every time.
