What Awaits in Civilization VII?
Civilization VII, a Firaxis Games creation, continues the legacy of the iconic strategy series, debuting in 1991. Choose a historical leader, build your city, and expand your influence through diplomacy or conquest. A key innovation: players now lead different civilizations across three distinct eras (Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern), with only the chosen leader remaining constant throughout each playthrough.
