just bought from cdkeys as the founders edition was the same price as the deluxe on steam, albeit I doubt ill get the early access.

was torn, buy the basic or the whole shebang, buy on Mac as always or on ps5.

lets see how my m2 8gb MacBook Air struggles, cant wait.

Bought it and it's running absolute great on my M2 Max on 4K, seeing the PC requirements was a bit in doubt but seems fine. Haven't played in the later ages which seems the big crush on the CPU, but is a great native game.

Im finding im feeling a bit lost and disconected playing it. ive played and enjoyed every edition back to civ 1 on my centris 610 30 odd years ago, and this is the first time im just clicking on things randomly and dont have a handle on what im doing.

Anybody tried CIV VII on an M4 Pro or Max? Curious on how well it holds up, particularly at max settings.

Playing it on a M2 Max and max settings on 4K and running great so M4 Max will do a lot better. Think a pro will do fine, cpu power is what the game needs for big turns.

Isn't that how most games start?

They made some big swings with it

The UI is definitely in a beta state right now but I like the gameplay for the most part
Especially the diplomacy, the resource system and the legacy paths
 
I am enjoying it, though the three different stages can be a bit fast. Also in the modern age the control of planes is a bit weird. They polished most of the bugs out with path 3. It is definitely worth 69 euro's as this game will last a loooong time. And it is running good on almost all mac's native which is great to see. But then again everybody decide for themself :)
 
Anyone playing this on a M3 Max (MBP16) wondering if even putting it on lower settings would prevent all the fans from firing on? I;m about to grab it on Steam next payday possibly versus getting it for PS5 Pro
