What Is Civilization VII?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, the latest in the long-running strategy series (dating back to 1991!), from Firaxis Games, lets you lead a historical leader and guide your civilization to global dominance. Build cities, construct wonders, and expand your empire through conquest or diplomacy. Shape your civilization's path, adhering to historical accuracy or forging your own unique destiny. A key innovation in Civ VII is the three-age structure: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern, where you'll choose a new civilization for each age, with your chosen leader carrying over.
