Welcome to Civilization 7
Finally, the moment has arrived! Civilization 7 is not just a game; it’s a chance to fulfill boyhood dreams of wielding power—and perhaps, tiptoeing into the realms of existential dread. Imagine this: handing the nuclear keys to none other than Benjamin Franklin and Harriet Tubman! Yes, it’s true; Firaxis has revealed these historical titans, allowing us to guide their nations through the ages like some overwrought ghost of history.
Meet the New Leaders: Franklin and Tubman
Everyone’s favorite Enlightenment man, Benjamin Franklin, makes his glorious debut alongside the indomitable Harriet Tubman. If you remember your history lessons—or just know your way around a good biography—you’ll recognize that Franklin is synonymous with scientific advancement. Get ready for an interesting bounce in science per era, and brace yourself for his delightful diplomatic charms and sneaky scientific attributes.
America Has Arrived!
Of course, these two historical figures need a suitable backdrop, and in swoops America! You’d think that the Revolutionary War was just a movie plot, but no, America is actually a thing. As you navigate through the modern age, expect the USA’s mechanics to focus on gold reserves and expansion. It’s always a hilarious twist to see how Firaxis weaves complex historical figures into game mechanics—remember Stalin’s unexpected fast-food wonder speed in Civilization 4? Time to look past the smoke and mirrors!
