I don’t get modern trailer. This doesn’t really tell me anything about the game. Literally zero.

I think the key is “teaser”. There is a lot of emphasis in building awareness very early on, rather than releasing videos of a completed project. Expect more details in future trailers

Well, it's a teaser trailer for the sixth sequel in a well known franchise, I think mostly everyone in the target audience knows what the game is about and trailer is just to build hype among people who would be hyped even if it just said "Civ VII confirmed".

  Well, actually I would be interested in graphics and units available. Supposing it is going to cost 70€, at least I would like to know if it's worth it. These kinds of trailers are just useless

    Don't worry my friend. It's just a teaser trailer. It will be followed by a gameplay trailer, just like movie teasers are followed by longer trailers.

    It mentioned a gameplay trailer is coming in August.

It's explicitly a teaser trailer. And what do we need to know really? It's a new Civ: they'll update the graphics, fiddle with the mechanics, and we'll have to wait and see if the changes work.

  I am not mad at the teaser, but it would be useful to know the shape of the tiles, this time

    Well, we're getting a gameplay reveal in August, and 6-12 months of further marketing before you'll be able to buy it next year.

    Pentagon time I guess?

      As someone mentioned above (haha) I expect a full penrose tiling in Civ VIII. This one is probably lousy hexagons :( I heard that Gandhi is enriching uranium again, so I’ll still play. (Rumsfeld or Cheney as an advisor, funny yet? Haha… you said Pentagon!)

    Well of course they’ll be using the latest technologies and therefore tiling will be done with that new shape from last year that never repeats patterns.
