"Toxic positivity" is not just a meme or buzzworld, in a lot of corporate environments being the naysayer for any reasons can be a quick career suicide while being onboard a disaster lets you at least get paychecks for longer.

Errrrrm don't you know, chud? All civ games flopped on launch actually.
Trust the plan and wait two more years and a dozen of DLCs and it will be good.

The frontrunner of strategy has failed now too, I can't even think of which old strategy series are still running strong they have all flopped at some point and stop being developed. Only new strategy games are indie shit.Firaxis, Relic, etc are all shit now just empty husks of what used to be good game devs.

The game is shit but that has nothing to do with civ switching, you can read the bad reviews yourself, almost no one outside of autists here actually cares about it.

All I’m saying is, if there’s ONE strategy franchise where it’s not that out of place to have a black woman, or, niggress, if you prefer, lead a Mongol army, it’s Civ.
And I also believe that civ is Reddit: the strategy game and therefore it doesn’t surprise me to see a Reddit: the ad for it but that’s almost a different point.You don’t have to be mad about it sonny.

Possibly started development around the time Humankind was being hyped as a civ-killer. By the time it flopped they were already in too deep and/or just figured they could do it properly.

I tried playing a game again recently and I just couldn’t fucking do it. The Ancient Era is bearable if extremely fucking barebones, but the moment it hits Exploration the entire game is fucked. There’s just no way to salvage this. Eras needed to have been the same as they were previously, with around 7-10 eras. Each of them should have added VERY minor gameplay mechanics for theming (e.g. medieval age gives new mechanic to draft knights using food production), with civ-changes being either entirely axed or arranged in such a way that the pkayer has complete control over finer details (like Romans adopting Egyptian units but retaining Roman fashion snd culture, etc.).There are so many fucking ways just thinking of cool ideas that they could have avoided creating this abortion. This is the worst of both worlds. Miss out on 1000 years of history and morph into a completely alien culture. All to better align with history, as though it’s remotely historical for a cuvilization to grow for millennia, then freeze in place for 9 centuries and magically and instantaneously become another peoples.

They made their design decisions and they are being forced to deal with the inevitable outcomes. The game is FINISHED. I read a lot about how more DLC and expansions will 'fix' things with the game. It won't - it can't. The game is broken at a fundamental design level. Them adding the Qajar and Silla and Genghis Khan in the next DLC won't salvage the player numbers.

You will never be a real civilization game. You have no test of time, you have no Gandhi, you have no Aztecs. You are Humankind 2 twisted by Firaxis and Take-Two into a crude mockery of Sid Meiers’s perfection.
All the “support” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back even redditors mock your civ-switching. Firaxis is disgusted and ashamed of you, your “fans” laugh at your terrible player count in the discord channels.
Veterans are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of hours of playing Civ have allowed fans to sniff out "civ-killers" with incredible efficiency. The disgusting "game” look uncanny and unnatural to any Civ fan. Your awful UI is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a casual gamer to play with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second they gets a taste of your annoying, obnoxious age resets.You will never make T2 happy. You wrench out a new Civ/Leader Pack every couple months and tell yourself it’s going to recover the playerbase, but deep inside you feel the player count bleeding down like Concord, with nobody to buy the Expansion packs.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll try to stop the civ-switching, enter a sale, give some free dlcs, and stop adding content. Firaxis will cease development, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to pay the expensive Denuvo tax and fees. They’ll leave you with a steam account marked with news of the upcoming Civ VIII, and every gamer for the rest of eternity will know Civilization VII flopped there. Your youtube shills will go away and go move to another game, and all that will remain of your legacy is a the civ-switching that never worked.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

It flopped for many reason. A lot of people weren't into the civ switching and age changing mechanics first of all, which are too big of a change for a civ game.
Then on top of the wokeslop the game was just so blatently designed to churn out DLCs, I believe it's why they took so many controversial decisions in the first place. One civ per era? Now instead of buying yourself one civ that will last you the whole game you're gonna have to buy 3 civs for one game. Leaders being independent from civs? So you're more encouraged to buy that leader pack even if the civ that comes with it is shit - those leaders might not even have an associated civ actually. The screen when you interact with another civ is both your dudes looking at each other like morrons? That means you don't need to work on leader backgrounds and your payp-player is more incentivised to buy skins for his leader, since he's gonna be able to see them very often. An age blatently missing, many aspects of the game undercooked, civs that were there in pretty much every game not here? Easy DLCs.
I wouldn't even be surprised if there were serious talks of battlepasses and making you roll for your civ leaders at some point. You need to actually balance your monetization schemes with delivering something good, especially when you're selling your game for 70 dollars. This screams of the studio trying to please their investors way too hard

If they wanted to introduce this system, they should have done it gradually and made it optional, by say first giving the option of changing the leaders of nations around (e.g. playing France as Elizabeth for the entire game). I am sure no one would have complained then and both min-maxers and normies would have something new to fuck around with

I don't hate Civ VII, but its flaws are too many to want to jump back in for another game. There's lots of interesting ideas, bits and pieces, but it doesn't gel into a good time. Even the age-switching mechanic isn't terrible. The idea of there being a big shake up you have to prepare for is neat and it tweaks some goofy shit like sending out tanks to crush spearmen...but the loss of having a through-line identity for your Civ, something that's existed since game one, turned out to be a bigger detriment than any gain.What's going to be real interesting is the course-correction when the next Civ game hits.

Whats so frustrating to me is if not for the forced switching and era stuff i would really like it.

But the switching and stuff after kinda disconnects everything to me.
