Unlock the full potential of Civilization VII with our expert tips and advanced tactics. Master new features, strategies, and win conditions to dominate the game.
Walkthrough
- 1Ages System: Navigate Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern Ages, each with unique tech and civic trees. Your civilization transforms each Age based on leader, previous civ, and gameplay elements (e.g., owning 3 Horse Resources can lead to Mongolia in the Exploration Age).
- 2Age Shift Crises: Brace for temporary 'Crises' during Age transitions. These force negative policies to prevent snowballing and ensure a balanced playing field for all players.
- 3Influence Yield: Utilize the new 'Influence' yield type for conducting diplomacy with other civilizations.
- 4River Mechanics: Rivers are now either small (crossable) or wide and navigable, allowing naval units and embarked units to travel through them. Rivers now run through tiles, not on their edges.
- 5Settlement System: Settlements are divided into Towns and Cities. All settlements, except your Capital, start as Towns, which convert Production to Gold. Towns can be upgraded into Cities, which accrue yields and allow building construction.
- 6Settler Units: Two distinct Settler units exist: the Founder (a Civilian Unit) and the standard Settler.
Tips
- Pay close attention to resource requirements for transitioning to specific civilizations in later Ages.
- Strategically manage your 'Influence' to secure favorable diplomatic outcomes.
- Adapt your city-building strategy to the new Town/City system, focusing on early Gold generation from Towns.
- Be prepared to mitigate the effects of 'Crises' during Age transitions to maintain your advantage or catch up.
- Utilize navigable rivers for faster unit movement and strategic positioning.
