Civilization 7 Patch Introduces Quick Move and Gameplay Tweaks as Player Engagement Lags

The latest update adds quality-of-life features and pacing adjustments, while Firaxis outlines plans to address ongoing player concerns.

Patch 1.1.1 for Civilization 7, released today, introduces a quick move option that allows units to move instantly between hexes, saving time during gameplay.
New features include the ability to rename settlements and commanders, a restart button to regenerate maps, and improved notifications for city attacks.
Gameplay pacing is being slowed, with increased costs for modern tech and civic advancements by 25%, aiming to extend the late-game experience.
Despite ongoing updates, Civilization 7 struggles to match the player engagement levels of its predecessors, Civilization 5 and 6.
Firaxis continues to address player feedback with future plans, including modding tools, AI improvements, and additional gameplay features.
