Civ 7, - its not intuitive, and missing so much. Its bear bones. Going into the speerate screens feels like its missing labels and context. There is limited help no mouse overs, like it was designed for consoles instead of pc (because it was, first civ to do this) . Also the side new info board on the right doesn't update it gives the same info over and over. How many times do I need to know that Trung Track (don't even know who she is) has taken over Carthage?
Here is the diplomacy screen:
It doesn't give you many options, normally there are 3 options, spend influence and both get something, don't spend influence but let the other person go a head and they make out or reject and loose repulation. There is no other options when being, what feels like extorted. It's very limiting. The city states menu is too.
Here is civ 6 for comparison:
Way more info, better looking ui with borders, and mouse overs.
Here is civ 5:
Notice again, clear borders and this one had an art deco ui. Way more buttons and information. Look at the recent events on the right, it has details beyond a picture.
Civ 4 ui: see the theme.
All continued as this until civ 7.
I won't go into civ 1- 3 as they were not 3d, but even still those games I can still jump in and get up to speed. In fact I just recently did that with civ 2 to see how much it has changed since 1996. Civ 2 has better ui than civ 7.
