When Civ 6 released, you could not change city names. That came with a later update after many complaints.
It's important to note that Civ games are kind of bad on release, but get much better over the next 12 to 18 months
When anyone asks me, I always suggest to wait a year after release to buy any Civ game
I would agree with this sentiment, if Civ 6 wasn't still a completely broken game, I have severe doubts that Firaxis learned from the fiasco that was Civ 6 launch and it "fixes" they released.
as for name changes, that they again try to ditch this features is further prove to me that they didn't learn anything from Civ 6 launch.
I'm sorry, you are right, I did not properly read this thread.
To answer you question, can establish a city anywhere you like, but it is not known if you can name it what you want.
If you are not able to name it what you want at launch, a patch will probably come not long after launch to allow you to name it. That is how it worked for Civilization 6.
in civ 1 2 and 3 you could create your own civilization and name it anything you wanted along with your leader but those features have not been in civ game for a long time.
civ 7 is also taking the humankind mechanic of eras swapping so ever era you have to start with a diff civilization so there is that also.''example you start as rome and end up being china.
first civ to end of era gets pick frist.
A) unless you pick a certain option you will lose all your cities anyway - they become towns !...
b) All your "Cities" - Towns are re-named when you morph from Rome to say Incan
This is incorrect. The era ends at the same time for everyone. Player always gets to pick before AI.
1) player control of where cities they found are placed
2) player control of what cities are named
The previews make it clear that players will have as much control of city locations as they do in 6 and prior versions of Civ. You can't place new cites anywhere, specifically not too near existing cities, but you couldn't do that in 6 either.. The Civ series has never been like the Total War games, where you play on a map that has all the cities already placed, and with 7 it is clearly not going in that direction.
At least one previewer made it clear that, at least in the build the previewers received a month ago, there was no way to rename cities. You had to go with what the game gave you. The reviewer remarked that he expected the devs to change that soon, perhaps even by the time next month that they release the version that the general public will play.
Some things that some people in this forum have asked them to change, such as allowing you to keep the same civ in every age, can clearly not be changed by next month,and probably not by next year, or ever. Civ-switching is too ingrained into the basic design of the game to actually be removed or changed. Renaming cities, though, would presumably be dead simple, easy to add in without requiring any changes to wider game play at all. In fact, they may have already made this change, but withheld it from the previewers out of concern that some of them might come up with names for cities that would embarrass the franchise. As it is, they let players name their religion, and most of the previews I saw had weird religion names. Hopefully this will not call down the wrath of any megachurch preachers upon them and Firaxis. The Almighty Himself I am not worried about, as He must have a wide sense of humor about the doings of humanity, or He would have gotten rid of the lot of us some time ago.
