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 influence through conquest or diplomacy. A key innovation in Civ VII is its three-age structure (Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern), where you'll choose a new civilization for each era, with only your chosen leader carrying over.
