Firaxis has released a major patch for Civilization 7, addressing several concerns that plagued the game’s launch. The new update brings significant improvements to the AI, diplomacy, and war systems, as well as enhancements to the user interface.
One of the notable changes is the overhaul of the AI, which now starts fewer wars with players. The UI has also received a facelift, with notifications for completed espionage actions against other civilizations and improved alignment of text, leader portraits, and menu objects.
The Ages system, introduced in the game’s original launch, has been criticized for being too complex. However, the new patch addresses some of these concerns by allowing players to purchase villas for their settlements during crises, providing a boost to their people’s happiness.
Firaxis has also made changes to the diplomacy and war systems, making opponents less willing to offer valuable cities as part of peace deals and more likely to start wars when facing opposing ideologies. The complete patch includes several smaller fixes, but crossplay between PC and console is temporarily disabled due to updates on the PC experience.
With this major update, Civilization 7 takes a significant step towards recovery from its initial launch issues. As Firaxis continues to support the game with updates, players can look forward to a more polished and enjoyable experience.
