Sid Meier's Civilization VII

The campaign runs through three ages, Antiquity, Exploration, and the Modern era, each reshaping available strategies and units. At the close of each age, a civilization can stay the same, evolve into a new one, or blend both approaches. Leader choice is separate from civilization choice, so players mix historical leaders with different cultures to build their own strategy. Swappable leader bonuses called Mementos carry small advantages between campaigns, and armies move as unified commands under a revamped combat system. Victory comes through Triumphs, attribute-based goals that open multiple paths to winning rather than one fixed condition. The world includes navigable rivers, distinct cultural architecture, and both full cities and smaller specialized towns for expansion. Founding new cities or specialized towns lets players choose how territory grows across the map. Online multiplayer supports cross-play between PC and consoles, with up to eight players competing across one or several ages.
