Create an empire that stands the test of time
Guide your empire through the eras of human history. Each era offers its own diverse and detailed journey through time with individual playable civilizations, available resources, explorable lands and even entire gameplay systems, creating a strategy experience that immerses you deep into history. Strive to reach significant scientific, cultural, militaristic and economic milestones within each era to unlock important advantages for the next age!
Develop your empire in each new era
To become the legend that stands the test of time, you must adapt. Find your own path through history by changing your empire at the beginning of each new era: Choose from new civilization options that match each age and are determined by your previous gameplay achievements. As you evolve your empire, you'll unlock new gameplay bonuses and unique units to keep your current civilization at its most powerful.
Play as visionary leaders of progress
Embody illustrious leaders in one of Civilization's most diverse squads yet: classic heads of state famous for their militaristic or political might, as well as visionary leaders who have made a lasting impact in areas such as philosophy, science, human rights and more! Each leader has a unique ability and can be improved through customizable attributes that you earn through gameplay. This allows you to strengthen or change your strategy from one era to the next. For the first time in the history of the franchise, you can choose your leader independently of your civilization. This allows you to develop completely new strategies by combining different gameplay bonuses.
Explore a world that is more authentic than ever before
Leave your footprint in a wonderfully detailed world! Your empire comes to life with many different cultural styles, which can be seen in the design of the building architecture as well as in your units. Come face to face with other historical leaders and engage in diplomacy or declare war. As your territory expands and your cities grow, a stunningly designed empire with a vibrant metropolis emerges before your eyes.
