Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 isn’t afraid to take risks
In the new version of this game, you’ll immediately observe a significant shift in the leader selection process compared to previous versions. Previously, leaders were directly associated with specific civilizations, like Bismarck with Germany or Queen Elizabeth with England. However, in this updated edition, leaders and civilizations have been separated. This means that you can choose a leader based on their unique bonuses, such as Benjamin Franklin for science advantages, while selecting Rome as your civilization due to its militaristic culture. Although it may seem unusual to have Benjamin Franklin leading Rome, this separation allows for new possibilities that weren’t available in the past. Additionally, you might notice that Benjamin Franklin didn’t actually govern his chosen civilization; instead, he significantly impacted it. In Civilization 7, many leaders were influential figures who didn’t necessarily lead their civilizations but left a lasting impact on them.
