Trailblazer Triumphs!

Today I selected this setting to try something new and MAN I LOVE IT. Along with this there a few that comes to mind that feels so great. Title swap, Choosing Capital, Happiness mechanics, yield (hello forests!!!!), etc.

What “small” or “little talked” change/setting have been a welcome surprise with the new update?

Any idea how I can help ensuring an isolated island start. I’d like very much to play on a map with continents, only Id like to start the game on my own largish island.

Suzerainty Cost now scales, and MY GOODNESS, this is a HUGE change. Independent powers used to be EZ mode to deal with, because everyone was Suz'n them. But in my latest game, they are staying around a LOT longer due to increased costs, resulting in them sending MASSIVE armies at my cities.

Totally made Deity actually feel challenging in the early game. Am I the only one who feels that this was a harsh, but needed change?

Just wanted to highlight a couple of changes that no one seems to be talking about from the new Test of Time update:

1. Remember how everyone had been asking for tile-swapping between cities? It is now possible!

2. The most underrated change in the update is the music! Firstly, every civ in the game now has 3 different versions of their soundtracks, one for each age, which is huge! But also, since now you can have any civ in the Antiquity era, for example, there will be a much larger pool of possible soundtracks that you will be hearing. So you're less likely to get sick of hearing the same tracks over and over again if you're like me and you keep restarting before even finishing the first era!

There are plenty of amazing changes in this update, but these 2 are the ones that are the least talked about!

What leader/civs are y’all choosing now? I feel like the AI is a lot better after ToT. I keep falling behind terribly on Immortal difficulty.

I just returned to this game cause of the update but no matter what the game won't start. I get up to the loading screen but the begin game button does nothing but play a sound. I've checked my drivers, verified my files, and I'm not subscribed to any mods. What else can I try?

Honestly, I loved Civ 6, but I’ve stayed away from Civ 7 so far. Any thoughts on getting it now or should I keep waiting? Thanks!

Hello Everyone!

This mod allows you to place labels on tiles on the map. I personally follow a strong roleplaying approach in the game and love naming and labeling seas, mountain ranges, deserts, volcanoes, and plains. I also like commemorating important battles of my empire by marking them directly on the map with labels.

There was once a beta mod for Civ V (which unfortunately was never officially released) that allowed players to label tiles, and I was so excited about it that I wanted to bring this feature to Civ VII as well.

I hope you like what I've done! :D

Important Note:

For this mod to work, you need to download the "Detailed Map Tacks" mod by wltk. It is required for this mod to function.

The mod is already updated for 1.4.0!

Just wanted to give a small voice to the nice zoom update in 1.4. Seems like zooming in and out is faster and also you can zoom in further than before. Small but nice little tweak.

Wondering how is the game on PS5 Pro? Are the controls decent? Any performance issues? (I don't have a gaming PC)

I'm a long time civ player that was on the fence regarding civ 7, but now with the new update I might buy it.

Right, this doesn't seem to have hit the Known Issues list, and maybe it's just me, but, after patching to 1.4.0 last night (Steam PC), I discovered that there was no way to get information on individual tiles. Mousing over gives nothing, as does double-clicking or right-clicking. I can use the lenses to get yield information, but nothing on whether a particular space is tundra / desert / village, etc., how pretty the tile is, what the resource icon is, or anything.

This used to appear on mouseover, and, for the life of me, I can't find a player setting, even in the advanced list, that governs this. I'm mouse/keyboard, and there's a "K" key that's assigned to "Examine" by default, but it appears to do nothing as well. Anyone else been able to work this out, or is this just a fresh bug?

FWIW, my rig's based on an AMD 9800X3D, 64 GB RAM, GeForce 5070Ti 12GB, running Win11. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Confirmation below that this seems to happen after hitting K to close the initial city foundation tooltip, and that relogging fixes it. Whether it just happens again after relogging remains to be seen.

Or was I using some mod that made them more visually prominent? I'm having trouble identifying them easily on the map.
