Pros/Cons of Civ VII based on the reveal trailer

Pros:

  1. The terrain

The map looks absolutely stunning, the water and details on it is incredible. Seeing the height of mountains and hills is a really awesome change.

  1. New building mechanics

Im really excited to see how they change the district features added in Civ VI. Expanding upon them seems like a great idea.

  1. New leaders

I am stoked to see these new leaders, I really like how they are allowing lesser known philosophers to be leaders.

  1. The narrator

Gwendoline Christie is a great pick! She sounds great.

  1. The combat

The new unit animations and detailing is incredibly impressive, I’m really looking forward to seeing huge armies on the map.

Cons:

  1. Leader graphics

The animation of these leaders legit looks like its from Civ IV. Compared to how amazing the terrain is, it’s a shock. I really hope they update these before launch.

  1. Changing of empires

I’m not sure how I feel about this. One of my favorite parts about Civ is learning how to use your unique abilities as a Civilization across time. I’m not sure this is a total con, but I’m a little apprehensive.
