Civilization 7 Deliberately Cutting Major Leaders Is What Keeps the Game Fresh for Future Expansions

Firaxis Games’ Sid Meier’s Civilization VII was released earlier this week and it wasn’t long until veteran players realized that something was missing from the game. Since the inception of the Civilization franchise, Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi has been a part of every major game in the series, however, he is nowhere to be found in the latest installment.

Not just Gandhi, but some major leaders and civilizations are missing from the game, but it seems like it was a deliberate move. The game’s lead designer has explained that Firaxis Games has created a long roadmap for the game, which will allow them to extend the game’s longevity.

Firaxis Games will add more leaders and civilizations to Civilization 7 in the future

The absence of Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi from Sid Meier’s Civilization VII raised a lot of questions as players realized that not only Gandhi but many prominent leaders and civilizations were missing from the game. The game’s lead designer, Ed Beach, recently appeared for an interview with

and confirmed that Firaxis Games plans to add more content in the future as DLCs.

Beach further explained that there are many popular choices but not every leader or civilization could be included in the base game, so Firaxis had to cut some content out,

So we always have to leave somebody out. There’re just too many popular choices and we always want to have a few fresh ones that sound really new and exciting to people. So things are getting left behind, but we always are looking at the big picture, when we’re going to bring leaders or civs into the fold. So there’s hope for Gandhi, yet.

Civilization 7, which has the potential to be the best in the series, was met with some criticism, primarily because of its user interface. To solve this issue, Firaxis released Patch 1.0.1, which included improvements to the user interface and tooltips. The game didn’t have a solid start, but hopefully, the future updates will keep the players hooked.
