Brandon Sanderson Discusses Civ 7

By | May 28, 2025

After Mark Zuckerberg, another famous fan stepped into the spotlight: Highly acclaimed fantasy author Brandon Sanderson has apparently played the whole series from the first version on (except Alpha Centauri), and has now made a video talking about Civ7. Obviously he talkes about the “one more turn” effect, that he doesn’t like ICS and prefers the science victory. For Civ7 specifically, he likes in principle the age transition, but he’s still only finished one, and he feels a bit like some of the fans, that he doesn’t connect that well with his civ. In contrast to most of the fanbase he actually seems to also dislike the performance of the narrator Gwendoline Christie! He likes the diplomacy and the city states, and he has obviously a lot more opinions, so watch the video. For the discussion, please join us here.
