Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call 'boomer shooters' now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!).
, one of the most significant changes is the introduction of towns. In past games, all of your civilization's settlements were cities, and they all worked in the same way. In Civ 7, you can have just one city if you want—your capital—and still expand across an entire continent thanks to the humble town.
In cities, you can construct buildings using the production queue. In towns, they have to be purchased with gold. Either way you do it, you'll be prompted to select one of your settlement's tiles as the building site.. You can only create new urban tiles adjacent to other urban tiles, expanding outward from the center of your settlement, which contains a palace or city hall by default. Urban tiles lose their improvements, and are able to house two buildings.
This allows you to rework your strategy for the new age, but requires some spending to get your cities back.In cities, instead of adding a new tile when your population grows, you can add a specialist to an urban tile, max one per tile. There are various ways to increase the number of resource slots in your cities and towns, which is eventually necessary to take advantage of everything your civ produces.Pro tip: You can make cities very hard to capture in Civilization 7 by stuffing them with a ridiculous number of walls.
