Overview of Civilization VII
Civilization VII continues the legacy of the beloved 4X series, where players guide the development of a human civilization from its earliest settlements to an advanced society. The game tasks players with exploring the map, expanding their empire through cities, culture, and technology, gathering resources, and overcoming threats posed by rival civilizations. Victory can be achieved through various means, whether by peaceful diplomacy or complete military domination.
New Features and Gameplay Changes
This latest installment introduces the ability to select leaders and civilizations independently. Each civilization leans towards leaders with specific traits, enhancing strategic variety. The definition of "leader" has been broadened to include philosophers, religious icons, and scientists who may not have been traditional heads of state.
Civilization VII also simplifies the historical era system into three main eras: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. During the Antiquity era, players will encounter independent factions—now renamed to avoid the negative connotations of "barbarian" used in earlier games. Depending on the player's actions, some of these factions may evolve into city-states.
As players transition between eras, they must adapt their civilization, with a "crisis event" occurring at the end of the Antiquity and Exploration eras. These events introduce challenges with significant consequences in the subsequent era, keeping players on their toes.
