One of the significant changes in Civilization VII is how terrain yields are calculated, a departure from the more specific and predictable system in Civ VI.

Enter the Roman Holiday mod, a fan-made improvement designed to give the AI a significant upgrade in its strategic play and overall performance. This mod focuses on fine-tuning how the AI makes decisions, interacts with the player, and manages its empire, making the game more engaging and challenging. What…
