What is Civilization VII?
Civilization VII, from Firaxis Games, continues the legacy of the renowned 4X strategy series. Lead a historical leader, build cities, create wonders, and expand your influence through diplomacy or conquest. A key innovation in Civ VII is the multi-era gameplay, allowing players to choose different civilizations for each of three distinct ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. Only the chosen leader remains constant throughout the game.
