What Is Civilization VII?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII marks the latest entry in a strategy game series that traces its roots back to 1991. Developed by Firaxis, this game allows you to select a historical leader to guide your civilization to global supremacy. You can construct your city, adorn it with architectural marvels, and expand your empire through conquest or diplomacy with neighboring civilizations.
You have considerable freedom in directing the progress of your people, whether you choose to follow historical paths or diverge to create your unique narrative. A significant new feature in Civ 7 is the dynamic civilization selection. Instead of playing as a single civilization throughout, you'll choose a new civilization for each of the three Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern, while retaining your chosen leader across these transitions.
