Hey Civ fans,

Update 1.2.2 is rolling out now!

We’ve been heads-down at Firaxis putting together a hefty update for you this June, packed with long-awaited features like Large and Huge Maps, expanded Advanced Game Options, and a community favorite: Steam Workshop support. This update also brings new Town Specializations, City-State Bonuses, Beliefs, balance changes, UI improvements, and yes – a very pettable Scout dog.

For more context on what’s in this update, and what’s still being worked on beyond it, check out our recently released Update Check-In[civilization.2k.com].

We’re also trying something new with this update. You’ll notice a (★) icon next to select notes: our way of showing that a feature or change was influenced by the community. If you don’t see this community icon next to something you’ve mentioned, know that it’s not a reflection on your feedback, it’s just a way to highlight some of the broader conversations we’re listening in on. Thanks for being part of the journey, and there’s more to come!

And lastly, a few quick notes before you dive in:

• While we aim to maintain backwards compatibility for existing saves as much as possible, some new abilities or effects may not appear until you start a new game or advance to the next Age in your current campaign. For the best experience, we recommend starting a new game, or continuing your current game into the next Age.

• If you encounter any new bugs or issues, try disabling any mods, as some may not yet be compatible with the latest update.

• Are you playing on Steam and want to finish your current save under a previous version? You can do so using our legacy Steam beta branch.

Read on for the full notes below!

We wanted to take some time to get this feature right, and with 1.2.2, we’re happy to add support for Large and Huge map sizes on all of our map types – for when you really want to explore an epic world. 

Both map sizes default to 10 players, but multiplayer campaigns still max out at 8 total players, including AI and humans. Though 12 total players is still our goal for Huge maps, we need a bit more time to make sure increased player counts won’t compromise game stability or performance.

On maps this big, you’ll find yourself encountering new leaders and civs playing out their own local rivalries deep into the Exploration Age, and even the largest of empires will often find themselves struggling with other emerging superpowers in the Modern Age.

Because these maps are so large, we’ve added exciting new Pantheons, Religious Beliefs, Discoveries, and City-State bonuses to ensure there’s enough content for all the players in a game. More on those below. 

A quick heads-up that bigger maps have bigger hardware demands. On some systems, you might notice slower turn times or performance drops, especially on lower-end hardware. Lastly, Balanced starts on Large and Huge maps might encounter map generation oddities. We are actively working on improvements. On these map sizes, we recommend you stick to Standard starts instead of Balanced for the time being

One of the best things about Civilization is how many ways there are to play. Some players are happy to peacefully build the biggest, best Cities while others want to ignore all that and go conquer the world ("Yes, your amazing City does look great in my empire"). With 1.2.2, we’ve added several new advanced game setup options to give you even more control over how you play. The below options are currently available only in singleplayer.
The new options include:

• Enable or disable specific Legacy Paths per Age (or turn them all off entirely)

• Disable Score Victory (unlimited turns in final Age)

• Enable or disable specific Crises

• Custom AI Difficulty Options (adjust each AI bonus independently)

• Bypass Civ Unlocks on Age Transition (you’ll be able to pick ANY civ from the next Age during an Age transition, no matter what you’ve unlocked through your gameplay decisions)

• Adjust Independent Power Hostility (all hostile, random, or all friendly)

We’ve had a lot of fun playing with different Legacy Paths on or off in each Age. While Legacy Paths that don’t lead to a Victory are always optional, sometimes it’s nice to just tune them out entirely and focus on playing into the unique strengths of your leader and civ. For a fun sandbox game we’ve been playing in the office, try turning off Legacy Paths for Antiquity and Exploration, and setting the game to Abbreviated Ages. If you want to lean into the sandbox feel even more, try turning off Legacy Paths in Modern and the Score Victory, too. 

This is a step toward giving you more flexibility in how you play, and we know Legacy Paths have more room to grow. Stay tuned for future updates!

Pantheons are first come first serve, so to make sure there’s enough to go around, we’ve added two new Pantheons to Antiquity, and these can be selected by more than one player.

We’ve heard feedback from players that Religion in Civ VII has room to grow. One consistent piece of feedback we’ve seen is that there’s not enough reason to convert your own Settlements, so we’re adding new Beliefs and updating some existing ones that give bonuses for spreading your Religion within your own empire. We’ve got bigger and bolder changes on the horizon for Religion, too, so we’ll keep you updated on how it evolves!

We’re also introducing updates for Town Focus bonuses to help them feel more impactful. Urban Centers in particular have received a glow-up, and now gain access to many of the Buildings that were otherwise only available in Cities (like Libraries and Monuments in Antiquity). Fort Towns gain the ability to purchase multiple walls so they can really lock down strategic chokepoints. We also introduced a new type of Town Focus: the Resort Town. These relaxing scenic retreats gain extra Gold and Happiness on Rural tiles with Happiness and increased Yields on Natural Wonders.

Lastly, we felt massed Hub Towns were overshadowing some of the other options and gave them a slight nerf from +2 Influence per connected Settlement to +1 Influence. We’re going to keep our eye on them to see how they compare against the other newly buffed Towns.

We’ve added a lot of options to customize your experience with this update, but nothing beats the level of personalization you can achieve with the help of our amazing modding community. From UI tweaks to ambitious gameplay overhauls, mods provide a way to really make your gameplay experience unique. So with this update, we're also rolling out Steam Workshop support and an initial version of the Modding SDK.

You'll now be able to find and install mods from the Steam Workshop. Just hit the Subscribe button and your mods will be installed the next time you start up the game! For modders, this of course means your mods will be easier for players to find and download, and you'll be better able to keep the mod up-to-date for your users. Please note that the Civilization VII mods you'll find in the Workshop are created by and for the Civ community, and are not officially supported by Firaxis or 2K. Use them at your own risk!

We’ll also be providing a Modding SDK to help our modding community create, debug, and upload mods to the Steam Workshop. While this initial version of the SDK won't feature art tools, it will include a mod uploader and the (glorious) return of FireTuner. Additionally, we've included some guides and documentation within the tools, if you’d like to learn how to make your own mods.

Last thing – we’ve also uploaded three example mods to the Steam Workshop to show off some of the things you can do with mods, but also as references for both new and more experienced modders on the various ways you can make changes to the game (there are a few neat tricks that weren’t available in Civilization VI)! 

A quick reminder for modders:

When you're creating and sharing mods, please make sure your content follows our User Rules (which you can find in Section 6 of our Terms of Service[www.take2games.com]), for example:

• Don’t use content based on someone else’s IP (like characters, music, or art from other games, movies, etc.) unless you have the rights to use it.

• Keep content safe and respectful, meaning no harmful, offensive, or inappropriate material.

• And of course, no malicious code or anything that could negatively impact the experience for other players.

Did someone say more Gwendoline Christie VO? 

One of the first things you’ll notice when you boot up 1.2.2 is a refreshed Loading Screen, a small but important step in a bigger effort to improve Civilization VII’s UI. We’ve rethought how we develop the UI, and the Loading Screen gave us a great chance to try new workflows without disrupting gameplay. Highlights include leader portraits front and center, new info panels, a Tips & Hints section, and fully rewritten and rerecorded intros narrated by Gwendoline Christie. Want to dive deeper? Check out our latest article[civilization.2k.com] from Firaxis Lead Producer Tom Shaw on this change and what’s next for the UI.

• (★) - Community Influenced Item] Added an option to pick and choose which Legacy Paths are enabled per Age.

  • Dev Note: We wanted to give players options for how they could customize their game by allowing them to turn off Legacy Paths of their choice, and allowing them to disable the Score Victory. Note that if you turn off all Legacy Paths, and disable the Score Victory, you can still win the game with a Domination Victory by eliminating all other leaders. We think this change should allow for a cool sandbox experience through the Ages! (Please note that currently these options are only available in Single-player, but we plan to add these to Multiplayer in the future.)

    • Nuclear Fission Tech is added to the Modern Age, so players can still use nukes without completing the Military Legacy Path. 

• (★) Added an option to disable the Score Victory.

• (★) Added a new “Custom” AI Difficulty setting that allows the player to choose difficulty options specific for each value.

  • Dev Note: With this update, you can set any of the AI bonuses to any level you want individually. Don’t like the economic bonuses the AI has on Deity, but enjoy the challenge in combat? Now you can set up a game to do exactly that!

• (★) Added an option to pick and choose which Crises you want on or off in your game.

  • Dev Note: We’ve always allowed for Crises to be entirely on or off, but wanted to give you the added control to pick and choose which Crises you want to see. If you have more than one Crisis enabled for an Age, then the game will randomly choose one from the pool of enabled Crises.

• (★) Added an option to Bypass Civilization Unlocks, allowing players to choose any civ for the next Age at Age Transition regardless of any unlock requirements.

• (★) Added an option to control initial Independent Power hostility. Settling within 5 tiles of an Independent Power will still cause them to become hostile.

  • Dev Note: Starting near multiple hostile IPs can make for a challenging early game, but sometimes you just want some space to build out your Capital.

• (★)  Treasure Fleets are growing legs! These will now be called Treasure Convoys, and you’ll be able to use them over land and not just the sea. Any Distant Lands Settlement with improved Treasure Resources now generates Treasure Convoys and no longer requires Coastal access, a Fishing Quay, or the Shipbuilding Tech.

  • Dev Note: The Treasure Fleet Legacy path, specifically the gameplay around gathering Resources not immediately available to your empire, is a fun collection minigame for players that like to play the map. While we’ve improved Resource placement further, the steps required to progress this Legacy Path were still quite restrictive and often forced linear play patterns instead of asking for interesting decisions when settling. We’ve made some adjustments that should make it much easier to pursue this Legacy Path, while still requiring you to explore and settle Distant Lands. We plan on continuing to observe this Legacy Path as well as the others to find places to inject strategic variety.

• Shipbuilding is no longer required to make Treasure Convoys.

  • Dev Note: With this change, your Treasure Convoys will start their journey home while the Ocean is still dangerous, and your Units can still be damaged by stormy seas.

• Fishing Quays are no longer needed to make Treasure Convoys.

• Updated tutorial and Advisor Quests to remove instances of Fishing Quay being required to spawn Treasure Convoy.

• AI civs now repair damaged Buildings and Improvements over time in gameplay. 

• AI will now have better judgment and make smarter deals when negotiating a peace deal.

• AI players will now activate a Great Person when they create one.

• AI now prioritizes attacking Enemy Treasure Convoys when progressing through a game. 

• AI are no longer as aggressive in declaring war on players who are far away from them.

• AI leaders can no longer build duplicate Buildings when one of their damaged Buildings has a hostile Unit on it.

• AI civs will no longer build multiple Settler Units and not use them when encountered during late Antiquity gameplay.

• Added a brand new Town Focus, Resort Town: +1/2/3 Happiness and +1/2/3 Gold on tiles with Happiness (Natural Appeal). +50% Yields on Natural Wonder tiles in this Town.

• Redesigned Urban Center: +100% Gold and Happiness towards Building maintenance in this Town. You can buy additional Buildings (e.g. Library, Bath, Monuments) in this Town (Was: +1 Science and Culture on Districts with two Buildings in this Town.)

  • Dev Note: You can think of Urban Centers like a mini-City – useful for when you want some additional Buildings, but don't necessarily want another build queue to manage.

• (★) Adjusted balance on several existing Town Focuses: 

  • Religious site: +1 Happiness on all Buildings and +1 Relic Slot on Temples in this Town. (Was: +2 Happiness and +1 Relic Slot on Temples in this Town.)

  • Factory Town: +100% Gold towards purchasing a Factory in this town. +1 Resource Slots. +5 Trade Range. (From +100% Gold towards purchasing a Factory in this Town. +1 Resource Slots.)

  • Mining Town: +2/3/4 Production on all Camps, Woodcutters, Clay Pits, Mines, and Quarries. (Was: +1/2/3 Production on all Camps, Woodcutters, Clay Pits, Mines, and Quarries.)

  • Hub Town: +1 Influence for every connected Town (Was: +2 Influence for every connected Town.)

    • Dev Note: The only nerf of the bunch, Hub Town has been tuned down slightly to bring it in line with other Towns. We’ll keep an eye on this Focus for further tweaks that may be needed.

  • Fort Town: +5 healing to Units and +25 health to Walls in this Town and can purchase additional Walls.

• (★) Added 24 new City-State bonuses across the Ages.

  • Dev Note: Bigger maps means more players, and more potential City-State allies. To support this, we added more options for Suzerain bonuses when befriending a City-State. One of these new options is also shareable, so multiple civs can choose it. We felt that having a good baseline option available to all players would be a good quality-of-life consideration. 

  • New Antiquity City-State Bonuses: 

    • Scientific

      • Lingua Franca: +2 Science on displayed Codices.

      • Archimedes’ Screw: +1 Science on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

      • Dev Note: There are a few new bonuses that stack bonuses on Warehouse Buildings. This is part of an approach we're experimenting with to keep infrastructure Buildings like Warehouses relevant and impactful as more of your empire is swallowed up by urban sprawl.

    • Militaristic

      • Hegemon: +1 Settlement Limit.

      • Dev Note: Some players have asked for more ways to increase Settlement Limit. We’re pretty comfortable with the current limits and how they rein in overly-wide strategies, but this seemed like an appropriately-costed way to give those players an option.

      • Spoils of War: +1 War Support. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Economic

      • Stockpiles: +2 Resource Capacity in the Capital.

      • Ganzabara: +1 Gold on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Cultural

      • Ennigaldi-Nanna’s Museum: +2 Culture on displayed Codices.

      • Papermaking: +1 Culture on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

  • New Exploration City-State Bonuses: 

    • Scientific

      • Master Tradesmen: +1 Science on Specialists.

      • Apprenticeship: +1 Science on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Militaristic

      • Staked Claims: +1 Settlement Limit.

      • Casus Belli: +1 War Support. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Economic

      • Bullion: +1 Gold on Treasure Resources.

      • Market Right: +1 Gold on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Cultural

      • Sì Mín: +1 Culture on Specialists.

      • Artisans: +1 Culture on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

  • New Modern City-State Bonuses: 

    • Scientific

      • Refineries: +1 Science on slotted Factory Resources.

      • Mechanization: +1 Science on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Militaristic

      • Dependent Territories: +1 Settlement Limit.

      • Home Front: +1 War Support. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Economic

      • Factory System: +1 Resource Capacity in Settlements with a Factory.

      • Entrepreneurship: +1 Gold on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Cultural

      • Touring Exhibits: +3 Culture on displayed Artifacts.

      • Textile Industry: +1 Culture on Warehouse Buildings. This bonus can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

• Made several balance adjustments to Specialists, especially in Modern. 

  • Free Speech (Modern Age Civic): +50% Food and Happiness towards maintaining Specialists (Was: +100% Food and Happiness towards maintaining Specialists)

  • Constitution (Exploration Age Civic): 25% Food and Happiness towards maintaining Specialists (Was: 50% Food and Happiness towards maintaining Specialists)

  • Attribute Node: 10% Food and Happiness towards maintaining Specialists, or +20% if you have 3 or fewer Cities (Was: 15% Food and Happiness towards maintaining Specialists, or +30% if you have 3 or fewer Cities)

  • Attribute Node: 15% of Food is refunded when a City grows by adding a Specialist. (Was: 25% of Food is refunded when a City grows by adding a Specialist.)

  • Fascism Ideology:

    • Assembly Line: +2 Production from Specialists. -2 Food in Towns. (Was:  +3 Production from Specialists. -3 Food in Towns)

    • Dirigisme: +4 Gold from Specialists. -3 Happiness in Towns. (Was: +6 Gold from Specialists. -3 Happiness in Towns.)

  • Communism Ideology

    • Proletariat: +4 Food from Specialists. -3 Happiness in Towns (Was: +6 Food from Specialists. -3 Happiness in Towns.)

• Removed Gold Maintenance for Portal de Mercaderes, Steel Mill, and Manigramam. 

• Removed Happiness Maintenance for the Garden, Shiguan, Catedral, and Jardin à la Française.

• The “Suffetes” Tradition now grants the bonus Yields to the specialized Towns when slotting the Policy.

• Tiles in Settlements without a Baray now get pillaged/damaged during floods while playing as Khmer after studying Mousong.

• Aerodrome and Rail Station can no longer be built on top of each other.

• Updated ability and text for Terrace Farm, which now gives adjacent buildings Gold, instead of receiving gold for adjacent Buildings.

• Multiple World Wonders can no longer be built on the same tile when moving the priority on the Production queue.

• The Opera House now counts as a Diplomacy building.

• (★) All leader-recommended civs are now unlocked by default during Age transition. 

• Reconciliation is now usable with multiple leaders at the same time.

• Continental System's massive relationship penalty now functions similar to a Denounce sanction.

• Hostile military no longer receives War Support combat bonus when using Kispoko Nena’to to attack with Shawnee Civic Telwatiki Mastery unlocked.

• (★) All map types now guarantee enough traversable Ocean Tiles near the Poles.

• The water/lake tiles in Homelands no longer appear as Distant Land when using Continents, Terra Incognita, and Pangaea Plus map types.

• Sugar resource is now correctly considered a Bonus resource in Modern instead of an Empire resource.

• Addressed a reported issue where Cocoa would disappear from the map when transitioning to Modern.

• Addressed a reported issue where the new host in a multiplayer room could not see the kick button or remove players after inheriting host status.

• Coastal Raid no longer disappears when moving a Naval Unit onto another tile that had a Coastal Raid option.

• (★) Added two new Pantheons, including:

  • Trickster God: +25% Influence towards Endeavors and Sanctions with an Altar in your Capital. This Pantheon can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

  • God of Revelry: +1 Happiness on Resources in Settlements with an Altar. This Pantheon can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

  • Dev Note: Another consideration for larger maps and player counts was more Pantheon and Religious Beliefs being chosen. We expanded the catalogue of Beliefs and introduced some shareable options here as well. 

• (★) Added several new Religious Beliefs, including: 

  • New Reliquary Beliefs:

    • Akhlaq: +1 Relic for first-time Conversion of one of your Cities.

    • Anitya: +2 Relics for the first-time Conversion of a Holy City. This Belief can be chosen by multiple civilizations.

    • Sukha: +2 Relics for first-time Conversion of a Settlement with at least 3 Specialists.

    • Barakah: +2 Relics for first-time Conversion of any Settlement with a Natural Wonder.

    • Dev Note: These new Beliefs can all be used on your own Settlements when you use a Missionary to convert them, as long as they meet the other requirements.

  • New Founder Beliefs:

    • Salat: All Buildings receive a +1 Happiness adjacency with the Temple.

    • Chesed: +4 Production in your Settlements following your Religion.

  • Dev Note: No more searching tile-by-tile for Settlements that are producing Treasure Convoys or have Wonders!

• Founder Beliefs that provided Yield for each foreign Settlement following your Religion now grant some Yield for domestic Settlements following your Religion.

  • Dev Note: Many of the changes to Religious gameplay in this patch are aimed at providing a benefit for keeping your empire converted to your own Religion. As we continue to look at Religion as a whole, we’ve made some changes to Beliefs to better support having a Religious empire, and not just converting until you have enough Relics.

• Various Founders Beliefs now track and refresh correctly.

  • Desert Faith

  • Reincarnation

  • Holy Waters

  • Sacred Herds

  • Sky Gods

  • Shamanism

• Isabella

  • Seven Cities of Gold Unique Ability updated to +100 Gold per Age when discovering a Wonder (Was: +300 in all Ages) and her extra Yields on Natural Wonders to a stacking +50% per improved Natural Wonder in her empire (Was: a fixed +100%).

    • Dev Note: A strong start is a powerful advantage, and Isabella has been one of the strongest leaders in the game since launch. We didn’t want to remove her power entirely, but instead wanted to spread it out a bit more over the course of a campaign and really give her a reason to seek out and secure as many Natural Wonders as she can.

• Inca

  • Qhapaq Ñan Tradition now allows players to create Homeland Treasure Convoys worth 2 points in Cities with at least 3 Mountains.

Só um lembrete: os mods disponíveis no Workshop do Civilization VII são feitos pela comunidade de Civ e não contam com suporte oficial da Firaxis ou da 2K. O uso é por sua conta e risco!

Ao desenvolver e compartilhar mods, é importante seguir as Regras do Usuário (confira a Seção 6 dos nossos Termos de Serviço[www.take2games.com]). Por exemplo:

• Não use conteúdos protegidos por direitos autorais de terceiros (como personagens, músicas ou artes de outros jogos, filmes etc.), a menos que você tenha permissão para isso.

• Respeito e segurança em primeiro lugar: evite publicar conteúdo prejudicial, ofensivo ou inapropriado.

• E, claro, nada de códigos maliciosos ou algo que possa comprometer a experiência de outros jogadores.

Estamos animadíssimos em trazer a tão aguardada compatibilidade com o Steam Workshop para o Civilization VII! Então, aproveite esta novidade: crie e compartilhe suas ideias com toda a comunidade de Civ VII – é a sua vez de fazer história. Mal podemos esperar para ver as criações dessa comunidade incrível!
