What Is Civilization VII?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is the latest installment in a strategy game series that began in 1991. Developed by Firaxis, it allows you to select a historical leader to guide your civilization to global dominance. You can construct your city, fill it with architectural marvels, and expand your empire through conquest or diplomacy with neighboring civilizations.
The game offers flexibility in how you lead your civilization. You can follow historical paths or create your own unique narrative. A significant new feature in Civilization VII is the ability to switch civilizations across three distinct Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern, while retaining your chosen leader throughout the game.
