Civilization VII finally lets you build a civ that stands the test of time

Summary

Civilization VII, a strategy game, initially did not let players keep playing as the same civilization through the whole game, which upset some fans. A recent big update called "Test of Time" changed this by allowing players to build one civilization from start to finish while keeping new features from Civ 7. The update also added more choices for civilizations and changed how the game balances different eras.

Key Facts

  • Civilization VII is the latest in a 35-year-long game series.
  • The game is divided into three ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern, each with unique technologies and cultures.
  • Originally, players had to switch civilizations during the game, which caused criticism.
  • The "Test of Time" update lets players stick to one civilization through all three ages.
  • The update increased the number of civilizations available in the early game from 14 to over 40.
  • Players can control whether computer opponents switch civilizations or not.
