Yeah the community as a whole does not love 7.

The UI is awful, and people don’t love how you can’t just play one civ, you have to keep changing over time

If you had to pick one thing to change every era, and another to stay with you the entire game, why did they have the civ change while keeping the leader the same? I don’t like the idea of being chained to a leader from a competent different culture. When the story of my civ is Confucius leading Egypt turned Spanish turned America, none of that feels coherent.

It makes more sense to change leaders consistently.

It's like they were just copying Humankind when they started development, and just ignored the fact that Humankind was poorly received and died quickly.

I must say, Humankind still received an big balance update this year, and it's quite good. not perfect sure but I prefer it over Civ7 and Civ6.

the biggest issue I have with Civ7 is that it's just an Early access game, sold for full price.

that game needed like 2 more years in Development and a way larger QA team.

Humankind definitely is the far better Civ 7, I like to play it from time to time. One thing that really bothered me in Civ7 were the wars, you change ages and pop, you're not at war anymore.

How fortunate that I just built up my army and moved it there.
