Sid Meier's Civilization VII

Половины обязательных функций из прошлых частей серии нет: нельзя закрыть лобби в процессе игры, если забыл сделать это при его создании; нет паузы в сетевой игре xd; нет поиска по ресурсам, то есть я сам должен искать вонючего верблюда по всей карте при создании торгового пути для клонирования ресурсов, и много чего ещё. Игра находится в состоянии альфа-теста и продаётся по неадекватной цене. Опять придётся ждать лет пять, чтобы она достигла минимально играбельного состояния. Изменения в системах городов и их улучшений, а также смена эпох - интересные.

I have been a fan of this franchise since Civ 5, and I'd love to tell you why I love Civ 7. First.. through a lens of its criticisms: COST and AGE REGROUP rework. COST TLDR-- Love that Firaxis hasn't paywalled the playability of this game through its additional content/leader pack DLC's, and committed to free improvements/updates. Buy what you can, or wait for a sale--the gameplay remains the same for all! COST:: I actually really like the way that Firaxis has chosen to release this game. Largely the comments about this game being overpriced come down to the content packs/DLC's that have been added. What is nice, is that I think the game is completely playable without any additional DLC's. The added content at release is overpriced, I agree, though they are completely unnecessary in enjoying the actual game. I felt like Civ 6 was largely not enjoyable until AFTER its first major expansion was released that added more gameplay functionality. It's reassuring that Firaxis has added multiple updates for free (one major game update already, and another now, at the time of this review 9/15/26). If you can afford the DLC's, feel free to support the game, otherwise wait for a big sale.. but I do like that the core game's additions aren't paywalled, which is what MOST other games do, and what most fans expect when purchasing additional content. AGE REGROUP TLDR-- FIRST this is already addressed in the first major game update: They reworked the game by breaking it down into three ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern ages, which I REALLY like. It makes the game bite sized with each age feeling like its own playable short segment of the game. (I can do a 3-5 hour session with one age instead of having to marathon an entire playthrough with 14+ hours, OR come back to an increasingly hectic game days or a week later). It focuses civ abilities within each so all civs are relevant at every Age that you play in too! AGE REGROUP:: Apex Age: All civs are classified into Aniquity, Exploration, or the Modern Age making their abilities relevant at each stage of the game. You CAN play any civ in each, but Apex civs get their bonus units and abilities within their respective age. ((No more playing as America with a unique P-51 plane and film studio which you don't get to until the end of the game! In Civ 7, you can play them in the modern age after progressing through two other civs respective Apex ages. Remember you CAN change this option)). If your abilities work for the session you are in, you can keep your civ and unlock other abilities through the same civics tree through a new mechanic called 'Syncretism', OR pick a new Apex civ. This makes abilities (mentioned below) like religion or planes more relevant for the age they exist in. Length of Ages-- I started SO MANY Civ 5 and 6 games that I only got halfway through because city management, and worker and unit actions just got SO HECTIC. I can't play for 14+ straight hours, so digesting each one in its own play session keeps me engaged through the end, every time for me. And the reset isn't so bad. It makes each era feel fresh and relevant with new strategies. ((Maybe I was losing Antiquity militarily and I can progress from Greece to the Normans, which are a scientific AND defensive civ having fortifications bonuses?? )). This does majorly disrupt the traditional way to play the game in previous CIV titles, but I think it improves where Civ 5 and 6 just.. dragged on. HERE IS WHAT I REALLY LIKE:: Cities and Towns: I love how the settlement cap works within cities and towns. You only have to manage a handful of city's build actions in Civ 7. Everything else starts out as towns that can later be specialized to help cities grow via farming or mining towns, increase culture or science yields as urban centers, improve trade and happiness bonuses as trading outposts and resort towns, OR function as strategic/defensive military settlements as fort towns. Gone also are workers and endless (and quite frankly, kinda pointless) micromanagement. Every population bump in a city/settlement either adds another yield tile, or adds a specialist to an urban 'district'. Settlements RANT:: I HATED the Civ 6 expansion strategy of frantically just trying to wood chop out a settler to expand to the perfect spot, because early military was just SO costly to try to capture an opponents settlement if he got there first (and the advantage of early settlements meant you had 10-40 turns of population growth to a city). You can only get to half the map in the Antiquity in Civ 7 anyways, so it DOESN'T MATTER. Focus your cultural yields! Focus your science! If you're a military civ, it's not a huge impediment to your own growth to go take another settlement if your neighbor overextends and has a weak approach to military strategy. It felt like Civ 6 punished you for military expansion if someone else had the technological edge on you with a higher tier unit. Combat felt like it was far weaker than just simply having a better expansion strategy, SO YOU HAD TO DIVERSIFY WITH ALL THESE SPECIAL MILITARY COUNTER UNITS. Combat in Civ 7 is much simpler, and it is self contained within each age. I've spent the Antiquity pummeling my neighbor, just to ally and trade with him in Exploration Age as we both go off in opposing directions to settle distant lands. Military:: Oh wow! It's refreshing that this isn't overly complicated, yet still tactically engaging and WAY MORE FUN. They reworked Great Generals into Army or Fleet or Squadron Commanders. Now you have simpler unit types that are either enhanced by Army Commander Abilities or civics abilities (which makes civics so relevant from a defensive perspective). Yes, the unit types are simpler, but it's not impossible to hold off an attack with an earlier tier unit, OR conquer and hold a settlement if you're technologically behind. Army commanders make combat WAY more strategic by allowing you to withdraw/deploy units more flexibly, exercise special combat tactics, or maneuver terrain to overcome positioning. It focuses the combat from just reaching higher tier units to a dynamic tactical strategy by multiple types of commanders. Religion: Because the game is split into multiple ages, it makes everything more relevant. Religion in Antiquity is a basic bonus applied to settlements with altars.. In Exploration you have missionaries that can convert other cities for your specific purpose (you select one specific way to acquire relics for culture, and then a yield type that focuses science, culture, or maybe a military enhancement). It's no longer a win condition and sits on the side as an enhancement you CAN pursue, or something that you lean on to give you a big leap. You can't get locked out of a religion like you did in Civ 6, and you don't reach end game basically "fighting" another version of combat for a religious victory via "religious combat". Triumphs, Dedications, and Victory Conditions:: Seldom mentioned, but this is what the game is really about! You get a list of triumphs to achieve within each Age that unlock dedications you can select in the next. Some give immediate bonuses, and others allow you to plan some of the next age's strategies. I like that Civ 7 also unlocks WHICH civs you progress to in the next era conditionally. If you settle next to a bunch of mountains, you unlock the Incas, which can work mountain tiles in Exploration (before Modern). Dedications are bonuses that make each game feel more focused for YOUR strategy. There is so much more, but I think this game does so much right! It mitigates hard RNG factors in Civ 5 and 6 and makes the game more flexible and exciting to play. I play above middle difficulty, and would say it's got an easier learning curve for new players and deeper strategies for veterans. All around, I think it's the best installment in the series and it is only getting better.

For me CIV 4 is my favourite, this game plays nothing like it. Does not make it nesscary a bad game, but for i liked civ 6 and civ4 more and the way the game played. If you consider buying this game i would wait a few years. Its probably going to be around 4/5 euros then.

且不说奠基版怎么坑人，新版本的优化全都是一！坨！屎！ 为了掩盖设计师的无能，神AI全都用无脑加强的数值来遮掩，20回合不到AI就哐哐哐把中后期的奇观敲了个爽，点开对方地块一看一个格子+11锤子？？？ 设计师你老冯在天上买不到机票直说

It's fun for a free weekend but will never be worth spending money on. Until it and its DLC are are a bundle of maybe 60$ this game is not worth the price. Even playing the base game through twice I've seen everything. There is not enough content for the base game for this price even with a deal.

Civ 5 or 6 is by far better. I'll change my review when they add another age, give us a earth map, make unit management UI even a thing, and put more relevance in using nuclear weapons. The wonder completion scenes are so so. It does look good in some aspects so not to be all negative.

It's been over a year now and this game still isn't good. Moreover, the fact that everything costs so much when its in this kind of state is a joke. Play the previous games, they're great. This one is pretty trash.

Directly got raid by independent power in start at easy mode and it never stop sending troops. Production is weird The concept about town and after that city is weird Victories mechanism is weird Tree tech/culture are weird All seem off and unbalance in Civ 7! Stay on civ 6 people! Its farrrr better
