Civilization 7 Game Options
How to Deactive the Tutorial and Change Auto-Save Settings
Before creating a Civ 7 game, players will want to check out the Options tab in the Main Menu. Here, there are several settings that they can adjust to improve their gaming experience.
The Game tab is where players can adjust certain in-game features. Here, they can toggle on and off various settings, such as auto end turn, automatic unit cycling, the tutorial, crossplay, and DLC cosmetics. Additionally, gamers can decide how many auto-saves they'd like the game to keep and how often it should auto-save.
If we compare, Civilization 6's game setup options were much more extensive, not only in terms of game customization but also overall settings. Gamers looking to enable quick movement and combat or change the time of day won't have much luck doing it without mods.
