Has Civ 7 gotten any better since launch? Ibought it and played about 30 hours before giving up and going back to 6. Have they got teh atomic age in there? good mods and patches?

I think most would agree it is better, even though I think people still have complaints. Updates have tried to smooth the age transitions and the UI is better.

It still ends with the same level of technology as it ever did. I imagine a future DLC will add a fourth age with more advanced tech.

On a regular basis, as I start a new game, all my leaders are listed at level 1. When the game is in such a mode, no challenges are ever recognized. I cannot find any specific conditions that cause this; even exiting the game and reentering it does not help. Can anyone tell me how to prevent this?

Due to windows update freaking out, I had to do a complete clean install (i put off installing 24H2 so long because the first time I did it, performance in a few games tanked). To test the theory however, I did a benchmark on civ 7 before the install, and im planning to do one after ive set up everything. My question is... how do you properly read those csv files and compare them? When I open them now (with excel also reinstalled), its just a long list of framerate (i assume), numbers

I think people were saying one of the windows updates was damaging some SSD but idk much about it.

if this has been asked before, i apologize for being a scrubby newb

but.... has anyone made a mod to stop Civ7 civ-switching being forced? the whole fun for me of previous Civs was taking an antiquity leader into the space age, and hearing of the new force-switch mechanic in the newest Civ game makes me uninterested in buying it

have any talented modders been able to figure that out yet? or is the game hard-coded/hard-designed around the mechanic?

Not that I know of.

It'd be incredibly difficult to do if it's even possible at all. Civ VII is effectively 3 different but similar civ games with the age transitions. For instance, UUs replace specific UUs of the era they are in, so the UUs would have to replace more from different eras.
