In Civilization VII, terrain and city mechanics have been redesigned to offer more strategic depth and visual clarity. Terrain yields, which have always been crucial in the Civ series, are now determined by biomes rather than specific tile combinations. In previous games like Civ VI, players would often reroll maps to find optimal combinations such as hills with forests for production boosts. However, Civ VII introduces a biome-based system, where each biome—whether tropical, desert, or tundra—has its own unique yield pattern. This approach encourages players to adapt to their starting locations and available resources instead of seeking the perfect start.…

One of the most exciting updates in Civilization VII is its revamped combat system, which brings a new level of strategy and depth to the battlefield.

This new approach simplifies unit management and adds a strategic layer to battles, as players must carefully choose when and where to deploy their commanders. Commanders:…

Towns: A New Way to Manage Settlements In Civilization VII, when players build settlers, they no longer immediately create fully functional cities as in previous versions. Instead, settlers initially establish towns, a less developed form of settlement. Unlike cities, towns are focused…

The barbarian encampments are gone from Civilization 7 as separate entities. However, the new entities called Independent Powers now function similarly to city-states + barbarian encampments + Barbarian Clans from Civ 6. Players can use Influence (diplomatic currency) to befriend and gain favor with these independent entities that with time can evolve into city-states. Although this friendship lasts for a limited time, it can be reinforced by spending additional influence, which can be used to establish the player as the suzerain or even turn the settlement into a vassal. Ultimately, players might even be able to absorb these independent city-states…
