Civilization 7 Introduces Bold Changes with New Era System

Civilization 7 reinvents the iconic strategy franchise by introducing a new era-based gameplay structure, separating leaders from civilizations, and refining diplomacy. Players now select a leader and a civilization independently, allowing unique combinations. The game unfolds across three historical ages—Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern—each with distinct objectives and transformation mechanics. The new Legacy Paths provide specialized victory conditions in military, culture, science, and economy. While deeper systems like religion and artifact hunting add complexity, a balanced tutorial makes them accessible. The improved diplomacy system enhances strategic interactions, making Civilization 7 both fresh and engaging for newcomers and veterans alike.
