Firaxis are still working to improve Civilization VII, with a big update coming in June and a smaller update out now. Recently, the game unfortunately hit Mostly Negative on all the recent reviews, so they’ve got their work cut out for them.
For the June update, it’s going to be a big one and includes lots of features that really should make more players happy with it. Some of what they’ve revealed includes:
- Large & Huge Map Support.
- Steam Workshop Support.
- Improved Game Setup Options.
- New Religious Beliefs and Balance.
- New City State Bonuses and Balance.
- New Town Specializations and Balance.
- Specialist Balance.
- Treasure Fleet Improvements.
- UI & Quality-of-Life Improvements.
With the v1.2.1 update that’s out now there’s a Linux and macOS fix noted “Adjusted rendering resolution when launching in fullscreen mode” and for Steam Deck they “Addressed reported UI issues during multiplayer games”. On top of some new features:
Pangaea Plus Map Type
Added a new map type: Pangaea Plus. This map type features a single large central landmass that all civs start on. Surrounding islands are Distant Lands to all players and are home to Treasure Resources in the Exploration Age.
Increased Multiplayer Player Limit
Increased the maximum number of human players on all maps in Antiquity and Exploration. The max number of players in these ages now matches the number in Modern. Max human player numbers in Antiquity and Exploration are now (Tiny: 4; Small: 6; Standard: 8).* Note that the Standard map size is not available on Nintendo Switch, but the expanded player counts for Tiny and Small map sizes do apply.
Dev note: Players who would not fit on the Homelands are instead spawned in the Distant Lands and can make progress to the Legacy Paths in Antiquity and Exploration. Their progress is now tracked in the Legacy Path screen.
There’s a lot of balance changes too, AI improvements, controller input adjustments, narrative fixes and so on you can see in the full changelog.
