Civ 7 has a special mechanic of an empty landmass that opens up in age 2 with deep sea sailing so players can settler colonialize. God bless.

I play Civilization games to tell an alternative history story.

Unless you play on one of those maps that tie civ choice to irl geographic position, that's kinda silly imho.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

true start earth map is THE ONLY way civ games should be played.

It is happening. I'm getting GPU cucked.
And I really don't want to buy a new one now, both because crypto/AI faggotry keeps the prices high, and because something is wrong with my system and 10-12 times per year it will randomly shut down without logging anything, or without overheating. Feels dumb to buy a new expensive component for it, if something else is broken.

Opposite situation - I have the GPU for the Recommended+, but will not touch this shyte.

Emulate it on the switch, it is the primary platform after all.

These GPU requirements are always hyperinflated, most games run perfectly well on my RX 590, including some older AAA games like Jedi Fallen Order. Besides, you only need a high end GPU if you are playing on a 4k monitor. Having a 4k monitor most likely means you can afford/already have a high end GPU anyway.

32 gb ram for a game which works on less than one tenth of the calculations civ4 juggled.

 

[Lacrymas]

32gb ram is ridiculous, yes.

Are you an ULTRA enough dude to get that $1000 GPU, 32GB RAM and top tier i7 for your turn based strategy vidyagaem?

yes, it's the bare minimum for playing HoMM3

That was a map type in civilization games in Civ 4 and 5 (never played 6). I really enjoy that map type and played more than half of my games on it.

 

[darkpatriot]

Humankind didn't fail because of the civ-swapping, but because its AI is absolutely dog-shit in ways Civ can't even dream of being, and its resource balance is garbage. The civ-swapping itself was neat in concept [essentially, add more special bonuses to your Civ], but at launch it was next to impossible to remember who's who because there was no color or naming consistencies and everyone kept switching around with each culture change they went through.

No, I hated the civ-swapping concept in that game. It totally broke any sense of immersion and was 100% gamified. I liked some other things in Humankind, but hated that.

What would be cool is the ability to define and develop the culture of your empire over time as it develops, but doing that would move away from the clear nation identities Civ has always used. That could be implemented something like civ-swapping in Humankind, but would get rid of the silliness of the Inca suddenly turning into the French.

32gb ram is ridiculous, yes.

As someone working on a game with very high RAM requirements due to mechanics and game data, looking at Civ7 I can only assume that RAM requirement is art asset related. God knows CIV games don't do anything that complicated game data wise.

I haven't kept up with the previews and whatever. What's the current consensus on this game from what we've seen so far?

 

[Zeriel]

Worse than Civ 6. Which was worse than Civ 5. Which was worse than Civ 4. Etc... it just keeps going beyond the point where you couldn't believe it could get any worse.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

it could be worse than manking and millennia. no idea how, i'm a sick in the head optimist, but i'm sure they can.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Do we have any confirmation if anything resembling the ideology system from V is making a comeback? Although I guess it's kinda redundant from the spicing things up angle with how diplomatic relations reset each era in Civ Vii.
