What are the other decisions at Firaxis that you have an issue with?

The £140 (edit) collector's edition that didn't even include a (digital) copy of the game was a bit of a worry. And im going to have to what to see some 'let's plays' or similar before I can make my mind up as to whether the whole new way of approaching era's makes it a 'yay' or 'nay' for me.

I have never bought a collectors edition of something in 40 plus years of gaming and tbh I never will, cant see the point of them. Perhaps to a collector they are of interest, or to a streamer who wants to have statues on display behind them on the camera but to me, not interested. I'm interested only in the games not the toys that go with them

I was curious and somewhat hesitant about the era changes etc but having watched some dev streams I'm actually pretty excited for them now and to see how it affects our massive map, marathon length multiplayer games (which can stretch on for several months) , definitely not anything in them which would stop me buying the next title in a series that I've enjoyed for over 3 decades

I'm fully prepared for the prospect that my hesitation might be misplaced and ill still pick this up a few weeks after launch rather than pre ordered or on or very close to launch day like for 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Just going to wait to see some of the finished product this time around.

Hope it turns out well for you, I'll be on it on Day one and am sure I'll post my initial thoughts :)

I must admit I'm still concerned about this design choice ... as discussed much earlier in this thread, Amplitude tried a similar approach with Humankind and failed miserably. Also, the present day Firaxis is not the Firaxis of old .... many of the previous game leads have retired or moved on. And they're still trying to recover from the commercial flop that was Marvel's Midnight Suns. Hence why they're charging an arm and a leg for various editions of Civ 7. This could be a make or break game for the studio. At the moment I'm of a mind to sit and watch how this plays out from the sidelines ...

I'm really in two minds about this. What I keep hearing doesn't appeal in any way. However what I heard about Civ VI didn't appeal either and I have put in over 1000 hours into that.

I won't be preordering though

One of the peeps that I regularly game with was much the same before Civ 6 came out, said he didnt like the looks of it, wasnt going to play it etc (even though he has 100s of hours in civ 4 and civ 5 in our multiplayer sessions) but when it came out he picked it up, joined us in our multiplayer games and ended up over 900 hours in it.

Which just goes to show that once you're in the game, playing a huge multiplayer match with your friends, that just one more turn bug bites no matter what changes have occurred. Absolutely love the Civ games for huge multimonth multiplayer matches. Reminds us all of the huge boardgames that we used to play decades ago, stuff like Squad Leader, Advanced Third Reich and Axis and Allies. Civ is the master at it :)
