Civilization 7s maps are so badly designed that its actually funny.

Nothing about Civ 7 suits VR.

You cant explore rough oceans or these islands until the Exploration Age.

Theres never any variation to the shape, size, or angles of these islands.

Just a perfectly straight line.

Game after game, its exactly the same.

Honkai Star Rail Saber animation in the game.

Combine this with the Archipelago or Fractal map key in and the results get even worse.

Archipelago is a cluttered mess where the map just doesnt feel big enough.

In Civ 7, everything is crammed together to make room for the Distant Lands and separating islands.

A player crying nex to the Egg Shrine in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

You often start right next to another players capital.

Fractal is similar, where the islands and continents are even more blocky.

Its not the truly random, shard-like islands were used to.

Niccolo Machiavelli thinking in his reveal trailer for Civilization 7.

In fact, these maps feel much, much smaller than in previous games.

This might just get worse if bigger maps are implemented immediately.

A lack of customization means you arent able to tweak these.

Its likely well see mod support to address this before we get anything concrete from Firaxis.
