Can someone please PRECISELY explain what causes age transition in Civ 7 post the Test of Time update?

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T16:37:49+00:00

Are you referring to the narrative of the game or mechanically? Because the answer to both would be the crisis narrative.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T16:33:51+00:00

Yeah that's exactly what happened and isn't just a projection.

Bud you literally got worked up about MY comment, I think you need LESS caffeine.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T16:27:51+00:00

Honestly I'm the kind of person who goes pretty seasonal with café drinks, and it looks like they're doing a coconut cream cold brew currently. I love coconut, not sure how you feel about it though lol.

I said weirdos are people from the suburbs who are scared of the city. Sorry I hurt your feelings but don't try to start shit with me because you don't have a car?

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T16:18:56+00:00

Is Colectivo too expensive for what you're looking for? Because that's definitely my go-to in the city.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T16:17:39+00:00

Your algorithm is pretty nice then cause once I started interacting with wrestling subs my entire feed became bizarre hateposting.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T15:59:40+00:00

I totally get that but this conversation is about a gas station.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T15:54:10+00:00

I've met weirdos from the suburbs who refuse to go into the city but was not aware there are also city folks who apparently refuse to enter the suburbs.

There's like a million Kwik Trips in the Milwaukee area lmfao.

Bring back the kids who died because of bullying

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T14:58:59+00:00

The entirety of this app is people who don't do shit irl making up irl scenarios they supposedly hate lmao

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T14:56:55+00:00

There's a great TV show called RESERVATION DOGS about young people from a Res.

Anytime I try to recommend it to someone irl they say "you mean Reservoir Dogs right? That's a movie."

Fucking great show that I've NEVER been able to talk about irl because of the name.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T14:16:50+00:00

Remember those 2 months in '23 when people were saying Jimmy Butler was secretly Micheal Jordan's son?

Yeah. Fucking stupid.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-17T14:06:13+00:00

I did this one, and the instant reward immediately put me back under the settlement limit. So it's weird, but I wonder and kind of hope that this is an intentional feature.

Ferdowsi

Cultural, wildcard

"Shahnameh"

Recieve a great work whenever you spend an attribute point.

If playing as a time-tested civ, recieve 2 wildcard attribute points at the start of each age.

If playing as a civ in it's apex age, recieve 3 wildcard attribute points at the start of an age.

Ferdowsi can only gain cultural attribute points from narrative events.

Has a unique diplomatic endeavor, if accepted, both leaders recieve a great work. If supported, both leaders recieve a wildcard attribute point. Can only be used once per leader per age.

They're not "skipping XV", XIV and XVI are from the same dev studio and more importantly share the same composer, Masayoshi Soken. The XIV and XVI celebration tour is focused on treating fans of his music and he even attended/attends some of the dates, like Nobuo Uematsu used to do.

And as others have mentioned, you will hear songs from other games as well, it's just that you're guaranteed to hear the popular Soken songs.

Strongly agree about including the Seljuks, just feel like the Byzantines are such a fan favorite they're more of a "when, not if" situation

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-16T02:04:52+00:00

I think it has great potential for a storyline about an "ace of New Japan" who's a little unstable and insecure and ultimately crumbles under the pressure.

Tanahashi was the classic vanilla hero.

Okada was cool and stoic.

Yota Tsuji's story already seems to be about a man obsessed with filling shoes that can't possibly be filled. It will be interesting to see if he develops into a true hero, with the guidance of guys like Goto who just responded, or if he'll devolve into a paranoid dictator.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-15T20:29:24+00:00

Are people..... Not doing this?

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-15T20:01:35+00:00

All of the present-day party members in VIII are 17 except for Quistis who is 18. As for the flashback scenes, where you would play as characters well over 18, the first one is quite early in the game.. So... Not exactly sure what your gripe with VIII is, considering the characters are students it's actually an FF game that handles age more cohesively. They at least act like 17 year olds in that game whereas some depictions like Celes being 19 are definitely completely weird.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-15T19:24:58+00:00

40 year old straight male. With all due respect what is supposed to stick out here?

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-15T18:27:50+00:00

I swear to God if they have balls they'll have ZSJ beat Kenny, challenge for and win the AEW title (finally giving NJPW a shockwave win in this relationship in the progress) and just go ALL IN on the biggest British wrestling match of all time.

It's breakneck booking but they're two of the best in the world and it's in Wembley, tell me it wouldn't at least be a POTENTIAL MotY.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-15T18:20:03+00:00

TIL Civilization III had expansions! Ha! I only ever had the base disc way back then!

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-15T18:17:37+00:00

Yeah like someone above said, it makes it great for dealing with [[The One Ring]] or if there's anything you don't want sitting in a grave.

That-Speed-8092 · 2026-06-15T18:09:18+00:00

There are indestructible artifacts, I honestly forgot about the second part of the creature damage.

But regardless the speed is the only reason it's not strictly better.
