“I can’t wait until this new iteration rolls out. Even with all the variation between V and VI, I’ve racked up about 1000 hours on each. About 75 to 80% of my playtime has focused on early- to mid-game play. If they make endgame more enjoyable, I seriously worry for my sleep schedule,” one user gushed.

“I’m so stoked that they implemented the mechanic of urban and rural settlements. Now I can finally create one giant city with all its resources supplied by surrounding towns. One of the worst things about 6 was basically having to spam every single thing in every city (e.g. full campus),” another fan said.

“I think what’s been shown so far is awesome minus some questionable UI decisions,” a third fan wrote.

“7 looks like it will be a better game than other civs, in exchange for being a worse sandbox. Personally, that’s the opposite of the tradeoff I want, but I understand I may be in the minority,” another fan wrote.
