    Highlights as I remember them from the live stream:

    • Play progresses through 3 ages
    • Continue as a different civ when starting each new age
    • Map expands with each new age
    • Leader choice is separate from civ choice
    • Districts
    • Christopher Tin soundtrack
    • Gwendoline Christie narration
    • February 2025 release
    • This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥@lemmy.world

      • Play progresses through 3 ages: Antiquity, Exploration, Modern

      Anyone want to bet there would be more ages after DLCs are released?

      I’m guessing Industrial and Information ages added before and after Modern age, respectively.

        Also a possibility of a humankind style neolithic era?

        But yes, expecting some required DLC unfortunately.

        But civ is a patient gamer staple - just wait for 8 to come out and 7’s dlcs will be cheap! 🤣

      Interested how the map expansion will work in multiplayer.

      Concerned about the era resets.

      I like what they appear to have taken from humankind (eras, leader swaps, outposts/yowns, map elevation?) and old world (tile improvements culture bomb)

      Also concerned about how the maps seemed to just be cities, no gradual domestication of the world with farms, mines etc.

        Concerned about the era resets.

        What resets? The impression they gave was that you keep what you’ve already accomplished when moving to a new era. (It’s always possible that I misinterpreted something, though. I guess we’ll see.)

      Also noted :

      • Navigable rivers
      • terrain has cliffs
      • armies seems to be condensed, with generals leading them. Fighting looks to be constant in some way? (or that’s just the render for the trailer)
      • cities seem to expand much more
      • the leaders looks to have some stats which can be improved
