Learn the two main science strategies in Sid Meier’s Civilization VII: war and spaceship. Discover the technology paths for each.
There are two main approaches to science in Sid Meier’s Civilization VII: the war strategy and the spaceship strategy. Your choice depends on your overall strategy.
War Strategy Science Path:
If you are focusing on a war strategy, you should prioritize technologies with more aggressive names. Always start with 'The Wheel', followed by 'Bronze Wrk', 'Iron Work', 'Math', and then 'Burial'.
Spaceship Strategy Science Path:
For a spaceship victory, you should start with a slightly different approach. However, a key priority for both strategies is to expand very fast and dominate other civilizations quickly. Cornering one civilization after eliminating others is a recommended starting strategy for the spaceship game.
Science for Overseas Travel:
The science path for overseas travel involves 'Math', which leads to 'Mysticism', then 'Astronomy', and finally 'Navigation'.
- Prioritize fast expansion and dominating other civilizations early, regardless of your chosen science strategy.
- The 'Math' technology is a prerequisite for 'Mysticism', which is essential for unlocking 'Astronomy' and subsequently 'Navigation' for overseas travel.
