Civilization 7: All leaders and civs

by

As an ardent fan, I can’t contain my excitement over Sid Meier’s Civilization 7, the monumental strategy game that stole the spotlight in 2025. Despite a few controversial innovations and technical implementations that have sparked debate among players, it’s undeniable that we’re all relishing our journey with this latest addition to the esteemed series.

In the latest versions, the rules have undergone significant modifications. Now, your leader can be chosen separately from your civilization, and you get to switch civilizations twice during a game, which equates to playing as three distinct cultures per match. This implies that discovering powerful or thematically fitting combinations will become crucial.

Civilization 7: All current and upcoming civs

In Civilization 7, during your campaign, you’ll pick a trio of civilizations. Initially, you’ll start with one originating from the Ancient Era, later transitioning to different ones for the Discovery Era and the Technological Era.

In this game, there are several prerequisites that determine which civilizations you can pick at the start. These conditions may include unlocking specific leaders, such as Napoleon for the French Empire or Friedrich for Prussia, which opens their historical paths. Your starting culture also offers additional choices; for example, Rome could lead to the Normans and Spain as potential successors. Ultimately, all civilizations can be accessed by accomplishing certain tasks throughout gameplay. For instance, settling on islands during the Ancient Age could grant you access to Hawaii, while consistently producing large amounts of wine during the Exploration Age might unlock the French Empire.
