Civilization VII updates roadmap revealed - new update and DLC due out on March 4

2K and Firaxis have revealed the updates roadmap for Civilization VII, along with dates on when to expect some of it and we're set for some big changes. It's been a tough launch for them with thoroughly mixed ratings from players. Hopefully the updates will improve things for everyone.

The first update v1.1.0 is due March 4th that will have these highlights:

• New Natural Wonder to discover: Bermuda Triangle (free to all players).
• Additional UI adjustments, polish, and addressing of reported issues.
• Significant changes to the Modern Age's Cultural Legacy Path and Victory; AI leaders will also be better at completing a Cultural Victory (so expect fewer Explorer Unit stacks!).
• Now able to convert Holy Cities in the Exploration Age. Note that when players create their own Missionary Units, they will always follow the player’s chosen Religion.
• Naval Units will be able to disperse Coastal Independent Powers.
• Balance pass on several Mementos.
• Refinements to the Army Unpacking action.
• Addressing reported issues with multiplayer and adding friends with a 2K Account.

At the same time the Crossroads of the World Collection - Part 1 DLC will also release. Things includes the new leader Ada Lovelace, the new civs Great Britain (Modern Age) and Carthage (Antiquity Age), and the Natural Wonder Pack including four new Natural Wonders: Machapuchare, Mount Fuji, Vihren, and Vinicunca.

The next update after v1.1.1 will be due March 25 and the highlights are:

• Additional UI improvements and refinements; specifics will be shared later with the Update 1.1.1 Notes
  • Note: Ongoing improvements to the User Interface continues to be a top priority for the development team. The updates being introduced on March 25 are just one part of a much larger plan that aims to improve the UI over the next several months.
• Scouting and Settling improvements for AI, including less aggressive “forward” settling by AI
• Adding Quick Move functionality
• Adding the ability to customize the names of Commanders and Cities
• Renaming the existing maps to be "Start Position: Balanced," which will be the default Start Position setting for multiplayer games
• Adding a new Start Position of "Standard," where the landforms on maps are less predictable, closer to how map generation works in Civ VI
• Adding an optional Restart button that rerolls the player’s map generation now that these less predictable start positions are possible
• New Natural Wonder: Mount Everest (free to all players)

Again here another DLC will release with the second half of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection. After that, they're not giving any dates. But some of what to expect includes:

• Ongoing UI improvements.
• Adding a “One More Turn” button that will let you continue playing past the end of the Modern Age.
• Implementing Auto-Explore.
• New map sizes (all platforms except Nintendo Switch).
• New Resource types and adjustments to map resource allocation.
• Teams support in multiplayer.
• Hot Seat local multiplayer.
• Research Queuing.
• Mod tools and Steam Workshop support.
• Additional game setup customization options.
