Pros/Cons of Civ VII based on the reveal trailer
Pros:
- 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.
- 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.
- New leaders
I am stoked to see these new leaders, I really like how they are allowing lesser known philosophers to be leaders.
- The narrator
Gwendoline Christie is a great pick! She sounds great.
- The combat
The new unit animations and detailing is incredibly impressive, I’m really looking forward to seeing huge armies on the map.
Cons:
- 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.
- 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.
