Firaxias has released Civilization 7 update 1.000.003/1.03, which the studio tags as version 1.1.0. Players on both consoles and PC can download the free title update, which brings a sizable chunk of improvements.
Alongside the gameplay improvements, this patch also brings the first half of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection that’s included in the Deluxe and Founder’s Editions of the Civ 7.
Civilization 7 New Update 1.1.0 Brings Community Suggestions as Part of Download 1.03/1.000.003
Update 1.1.0 includes a number of updates based on community suggestions and feedback. A full list of update notes will be shared on release, but some notable callouts of what you can expect include the following:
- 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; AI leaders will also be better at completing a Cultural Victory (so expect fewer Explorer Unit stacks!)
- Now able to convert Holy Cities in the Exploration Age. Note that when players create their own Missionary Units, they will always follow the player’s chosen Religion
- 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
The first in-game event, Natural Wonder Battle, that was originally planned to be released alongside this patch has been postponed at a later date. Firaxis says it’s to “prioritize quality-of-life improvements for players worldwide.” As of the moment, the studio has no date when it’ll be released.
This patch also brings Crossroads of the World Collection – Part 1 available for those who bought the Deluxe Edition and Founder’s Edition of Civ 7.
- Crossroads of the World Collection – Part 1: The first half of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection includes the new leader Ada Lovelace, the new civs Great Britain (Modern Age) and Carthage (Antiquity Age), and the Natural Wonder Pack including four new Natural Wonders: Machapuchare, Mount Fuji, Vihren, and Vinicunca.
What’s Next for Civilization 7?
Firaxias has revealed the game’s next update is due for release on March 25 as version 1.1.1. We’ve also gotten a preview of what to expect from the update.
Update 1.1.1 Coming March 25
- Additional UI improvements and refinements; specifics will be shared later with the Update 1.1.1 Notes
- Note: Ongoing improvements to the User Interface continues to be a top priority for the development team. The updates being introduced on March 25 are just one part of a much larger plan that aims to improve the UI over the next several months.
- Scouting and Settling improvements for AI, including less aggressive “forward” settling by AI
- Adding Quick Move functionality
- Adding the ability to customize the names of Commanders and Cities
- Renaming the existing maps to be “Start Position: Balanced,” which will be the default Start Position setting for multiplayer games
- Adding a new Start Position of “Standard,” where the landforms on maps are less predictable, closer to how map generation works in Civ VI
- Adding an optional Restart button that rerolls the player’s map generation now that these less predictable start positions are possible
- New Natural Wonder: Mount Everest (free to all players)
Update 1.1.1 will also include the second half of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection**, which is included in both the Deluxe Edition and Founders Edition of Civilization VII. This includes a new leader, Simón Bolívar, and two new Civilizations with Bulgaria (Exploration Age) and Nepal (Modern Age).
Once that patch is live, we’ll let our readers know.
