New Civ 7 Update Finally Brings Quality of Life Updates and UI Improvements

by

Firaxis has been diligently working to enhance the user interface (UI) in Civilization 7, and the latest update, Patch 1.1.1, showcases significant improvements to its appearance.

numerous improvements have been made, bringing delight to the unsatisfied player community due to the game’s recent condition.

Significantly, Civilization 7 has enhanced the visibility of health bars, particularly for Settlements, making them more distinct from other elements on the screen. This change is commendable as the previous version had an excessive amount of in-game information that made it challenging to understand crucial details. Now, you’ll be less taken aback when your districts are under attack since you’ll have a better chance of noticing it promptly.

It’s great to share that I’m particularly excited about the updates, focusing on the aspect of trade routes. Now, you’ll be able to visualize potential trade routes using the Lens panel.

Newest Civ 7 Patch Also Contains Hero Balancing

Instead of just focusing on UI upgrades, Firaxis has made adjustments to the game’s civs and leaders by implementing balance changes. For instance, they reduced Maya’s Uwayib K’uh Quarter Production by 5%.

Frankly, there seem to be numerous adjustments weakening the game’s leaders and civilizations, leading one to ponder: why not enhance the less powerful choices instead? One disgruntled player is voicing their dissatisfaction with this approach.

In summary, they’ve significantly reduced the enjoyable elements in most civilizations, resulting in longer gameplay sessions, but not necessarily more strategic or engaging ones.

Not seeing how this makes a better game at all. Shouldn’t tuning come after fixing core mechanics?”

I concur with their stance. Firstly, we should focus on refining the fundamental aspects of the game. Moreover, my opinion leans towards boosting underperforming elements instead of reducing the power of those that are excessively strong.

Further improvements are coming soon, with Firaxis diligently working towards the upcoming Update 1.2.0, scheduled for release in April. Anticipate some user interface enhancements by May as well.

Hey there fellow gamers! Swinging by to share some exciting updates straight from the official Civilization VII site. Here’s a rundown of all the patch notes, and I’ve got the scoop on the adjustments made to leaders and civilizations too. Keep your eyes peeled for those improvements in our next gameplay session!
