Civilization 7 contains some of the most critical changes in the game that the series of strategies has ever seen. The main one is the ability to mix leaders from Civs for the first time, with whom they have nothing to do with the real world history.
In previous civic games, civilizations themselves are associated with a specific leader, usually the celebrated head of the state, in such a way as to have historical sense. For example, Elizabeth and runs English. Gandhi runs Indians and so on.
Civization 7, however, allows players to mix and match history in some crazy combinations, and although some players said that they enjoy the possibilities of gameplay, this system unlocks, others regretted what they consider to be an attack on historical accuracy – the quality of civilization of civilization is known for franchise.
A full campaign in civilization 7 is one that has been going through all three centuries: antiquity, exploration and modernity. After the end of the century, all players (and all opponents of AI) experience the passage of age at the same time. During the passage of age, three things happen: you choose a fresh civilization from New Age to represent your empire, you choose which legacy you want to keep in a fresh era, and the world of games is evolving. Civilization games have never had such a system.

In an interview with IGN, the main designer Civilization 7 Ed Beach explained here Firaxis’s thinking and defended the changes in the game because they relate to historical accuracy.
“I think that what we actually did was moved to another place,” said Beach.
“So if you look at previous civic games, you would have historical anomalies, such as America existing in 4000 BC or Sweden and Canada in 4000 BC. And none of these things really made sense. Parts of the civic canon were simply accepted.
“But now, if you’re going to get to America, you’ll start somewhere else. You will start with Rome and go to Normans, and then go to America. I just made the game Harriet Tubman, in which I tried to honor her African heritage, so I played as axum, and then as Songhai, and then came to America. So they are all correct paths through history. You can configure them so that leaders make sense with this, and probably history is more solid than before. “
Beach admitted, however, that civilization 7 opens the possibility of creating a combination “It seems that we are breaking history even more than before”, but it insisted that its fresh approach to the history of games “is well”.
“There are ways in which you can take the game, which we combine with CIV 7 and mix history in an even more egg than ever before,” Beach said. “So you can take a Confucius and you can lead him to Spain, or you can take xerxes from Persia and lead him to the Mayan civilization.
“So there are absolutely crazy combinations that seem to break the story even more than before, but there are some problems we have solved. So I would like to look when we moved him. This is a new way for players to experience and think about history, and I think that this kind of fresh shot is healthy. “

In general, the changes in civilization 7 divided franchise fans, although the assessment of the “review of mixed users” of the Steam game has more in common with the deficiencies of Firaxis launching to solve the problem. Beach said Ign that he never decided to deliberately cause fury in the community of civilization, but he insisted that the changes come from the desire that more players actually finish the game of civilization 7 compared to previous titles in the series.
“Everyone who knows me is not really in my personality or DNA to deliberately try to shake people,” Beach said.
“There are people who do it for sure, but I don’t usually come there. We really wanted to achieve two things. First of all, we had to really think about the CIV formula and what worked and what didn’t work. And this is not only the CIV formula, it is generally a 4x strategy formula. There is an interpretation explosion of items around the world and decisions forced to players. And in most 4x games, which simply last linearly from the beginning of the game, exploding outside in all directions. But it is really difficult to finish the 4x strategic game, because the end of the game is so tedious to go usually that this is only a problem. In fact, it was one thing we tried to solve.
“Now I would say that the second issue is that every time we do a fresh version of civilization, it is not right that we take exactly the same gameplay as before, put on it a fresh layer of paint, sharpen unit models and a way, in it What world of the game looks and say: hey, we finished. We really want every version of civilization to have a kind of signature that people associate with it. And so, if by driving the game on immense chapters, in which each chapter has a culmination, and then you take your breath, you reset and enter the next stage, if we felt that it would be improving the entire 4x formula strategy, we wanted to do it. It also gives a signature element for CIV 7. “
Executive manufacturer Dennis Shirk came up, saying that Firaxis did not want to take the Madden Team approach, issuing “iterative release” from Civilization 7. “We now have a highly refined civilization 6” – said Shirk. “We have a lot of players. Ed and his team … Every time they make a version of the game, everything is placed on the table. We put everything as a team to create a fresh experience. This is not something that we are strategic in the next few iterations of this kind of things that we want to do from version to version. He just does everything on the table. “

Perhaps in the shorter period Firaxis will work on solving the evaluation of the “mixed” CIV 7 users on Steam, which results from various social complaints around the user interface, lack of variety of maps and the feeling that the game has started without starting without the number of key functions, such as They expected.
In an interview with Ign before issuing financial results in the third quarter, Strauss Zelnick, general director of Take-Two, admitted that Civilization 7 received negative reviews from the press and playersBut he insisted that the “older civic audience” appeared, the more they play, and he called the early Civilization 7 results “very encouraging”. Oh, and if you are wondering, there is still hope for Gandhi.
