Uncover the Mysteries of the Newest Civilization 7 Update – Enhanced Natural Wonder and Improved Gameplay Mechanics!

Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 has a new game update that makes changes to the user interface, leader AI, Age mechanics, Mementos, and naval unit handling. Developers Firaxis have also added a free bonus Natural Wonder, Bermuda Triangle.

Leaving aside the ongoing discussions about Civilization 7, I love the idea of a Bermuda Triangle just popping up in my simulation, like a black hole spawning in my fridge. I hope it works as in legends about the real-life Bermuda Triangle, with whole armies and fleets getting swallowed up in transit and scattered across the globe at random.

Formally titled Update 1.1.0, the patch is reportedly based on community suggestions and feedback. It’s live today and accompanies the first part of the paid Crossroads Of The World DLC Collection, which features a new leader, Ada Lovelace, the new civs Great Britain and Carthage, and a Natural Wonder pack with four more Natural Wonders: Machapuchare, Mount Fuji, Vihren, and Vinicunca.

The developers had planned to launch Civilization 7’s first in-game Event, Natural Wonder Battle, alongside the update, but events are now being postponed to a later update to prioritize quality-of-life improvements for players worldwide.

Here’s a highlights reel for Update 1.1.0.

– New Natural Wonder to discover: Bermuda Triangle (free to all players)

– Additional UI adjustments, polish, and addressing of reported issues

– Significant changes to the Modern Age’s Cultural Legacy Path and Victory

– Now able to convert Holy Cities in the Exploration Age

– Naval Units will be able to disperse Coastal Independent Powers

– Balance pass on several Mementos

– Refinements to the Army Unpacking action

– Addressing reported issues with multiplayer and adding friends with a 2K Account

– For console players: all prior updates from Update 1.0.1 Patches 1, 2, and 3 will be implemented, in addition to the items noted above

There’s another Civ 7 patch coming on 25th March, called Update 1.1.1. It introduces Mount Everest as a free Natural Wonder, adds quick move functionality, and tinkers further with the AI, amongst other things. It’s timed to accompany the second half of the Crossroads Of The World DLC, which adds another new leader, Simón Bolívar, together with Nepal and Bulgaria.

– Additional UI improvements and refinements

– Scouting and Settling improvements for AI

– Adding Quick Move functionality

– Adding the ability to customize the names of Commanders and Cities

In our Civilization 7 review, Actual Game Designer Greg Costikyan concluded that “despite its flaws, Civilization 7 sustains that ‘one more turn!’ desire to plow through history and see what happens next.” I am certainly interested to see what happens next with Civ 7. Going by site stats, you are all very intrigued by it, despite some assessments of its failings.
