Civ 8

[xiedd13ix]

I think Civ 7 goes to show with the player numbers that people really don't want to change the civ formula. They should of just made a new and improved civ 6.

I see Civ 7 not improving until official modding comes out and the community do it themselves which is a shame.

Please never do this era system again

So basically you're saying the same thing that has been said here of every Civ since V.

Since V, try since 3!

Money talks,

They'll backtrack to the previous formula with 8th iteration, mark my words,

This one would be forgotten in due time just like Civ BE, with that one difference, that Civ BE was and is actually, a good civilization game.

And what if you're wrong?

You can drop the conditional from the statement, since we couldn't remember Beyond Earth as a good game if it had been forgotten...

I am eagerly awaiting Beyond Earth 2 built on Civ VII design with bated breath. The level of detail, the sprawling cities, if they could really drill down and retroactively apply purity, harmony, and supremacy aesthetics and bonuses to the more general stuff it'd be great.

I think they can, I found it so neat in a game of Civ VII where I went from the Normans to Japan and the tress in the Dungeon quarters (the one for doing the two unique Norman buildings) were cherry trees. That's just neat.

I always said the biggest thing holding Beyond Earth back was it was built on the Civ V style design if it had come out on Civ VI design, it would have been way better received.

you do realise that the same was said about civ 6, it was to different, changed the formula to much etc etc.

the very simple fact is that they will never make everyone happy, you call for an improvement on civ 6, others consider civ 6 to be a monstrosity and they would prefer any of the other civs.

now the question is, why should they listen to you, a civ 6 fan, and not to random person like bob "bobby" bobson who loves civ 4?

As optimistic as this sounds, I personally don't feel like waiting another 9 years for a better iteration of Civilization. As long as their are companies like Mohawk, Paradox, and Amplitude who are willing to eat Firaxis' lunch, we'll never truly be deprived of a proper Civ experience.

Then he's wrong, and we all play something else.

Just miss the freedom, all they needed to do was more leaders more options maybe some extra trees, more maps.

civ 6 does have issues like you skip through units to fast and they get out dated. I like civ 7 fixes this on one hand, but makes its own issue my eras screwing all your units

if that is what you want than you never really wanted a new civ game, you just wanted dlc for civ 6,

the point of a new entree in a series is to do something new. there is no point in releasing a game that already exists, people will just play that instead.

The point is he thinks he's so right based on nothing but his feelings.

Must be why 4 times as many people are still playing civ 6 right?

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

In an alternate universe, Firaxis made Civ 7 nothing more than "a new and improved civ 6", and now everybody is complaining that it's just more of the same and criticizing Firaxis for being afraid to change the formula and give fans something truly new.

And you think he's so wrong based on nothing but your feelings.

Civ 8 will be civ 7 with 33% same. 33% new and 33% tweaks..
So it will have eras, but maybe also changing leaders…
