Rewrite history and shape the future of humanity in the ultimate strategy experience. Lead your civilization from the ancient era to the space age, making decisions that will echo through the ages in this award-winning digital masterpiece for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Revolutionary City Building
Watch your empire come alive like never before as cities physically expand across the map. Each district, wonder, and improvement occupies its own hex, giving you unprecedented control over your civilization's growth and specialization. Build specialized districts like Commercial Hubs, Campus centers, and Spaceports, each providing unique bonuses that shape your empire's identity.
Construct world wonders that span multiple tiles and provide civilization-wide benefits, from the ancient Pyramids to the modern Sydney Opera House. Strategically place improvements to maximize your empire's potential and adapt to any terrain, whether you're settling coastal cities for naval dominance or mountain settlements for defensive advantages.
Dynamic Research and Culture
Progress isn't just about technology anymore. Advance through dual research trees that unlock both scientific breakthroughs and cultural developments, allowing you to customize your civilization's path through history. Explore the Technology tree to unlock powerful units, buildings, and world wonders, while simultaneously navigating the Civics tree to discover new governments, policies, and social systems that define your society.
Boost your research by actively engaging with the world through exploration and development. Send scouts to discover natural wonders, establish trade routes with distant civilizations, and build campuses near mountains to accelerate scientific progress. This active research system rewards players who engage with the world rather than simply waiting for technologies to complete.
Enhanced Diplomacy and Strategy
Experience deeper diplomatic relationships that evolve throughout the game. From primitive first contact to complex late-game alliances, every interaction shapes your path to victory. Choose from five distinct victory conditions—Domination, Science, Culture, Religious, or Diplomatic—allowing you to pursue the strategy that best matches your playstyle and civilization's strengths.
Build influence with city-states to gain valuable bonuses and strategic advantages, deploy spies to gather intelligence and steal resources from rival civilizations, and form alliances with AI leaders who each pursue their own historical agendas. Whether you're negotiating peace treaties or planning coordinated attacks, diplomacy has never been more engaging or consequential.
