Civilization 7 developers planned to abandon the usual start of matches

Civilization 7 executive producer Dennis Shirk said that the game's creators initially planned to abandon the classic start of matches.

In it, we recall, players received a squad of settlers at their disposal, who became the basis of the future empire. The developers wanted to give players a ready-made city right away, but then the team changed their minds. As Shirk noted, this was an emotional decision that could deprive players of the feeling that they were starting their journey at the dawn of humanity.

The release of Civilization 7, we recall, is planned for February 11, 2025.
