About this game
Choose a historical leader and build a civilization through a sequence of turns. Explore unfamiliar land, establish cities, improve their surroundings and construct districts that extend urban development across the map. Leaders bring distinctive abilities, units and infrastructure, while scientific advancement, military power and cultural influence offer different directions for your plans. Research also responds to what you do in the world: exploration and development can unlock boosts that accelerate progress. Relations with other civilizations change over time, bringing alliances and negotiations into the same campaign as territorial expansion. Deciding how to develop your cities therefore sits alongside choosing a victory approach and responding to neighboring powers.
