Build an empire of trade with Mansa Musa of Mali, flex the might of your legions with Trajan of Rome, or develop a powerhouse of culture with Hojo Tokimune of Japan. Each leader comes with unique abilities, units, and infrastructure in their quest for victory that will help you on your path to victory.
• EXPANSIVE EMPIRES: See the marvels of your empire spread across the map like never before. Cities are now living things, occupying multiple tiles on the map as they grow.
• ACTIVE RESEARCH: Unlock tech boosts that speed your civilization’s progress through history. Everything from special achievements to chance discoveries can advance your civilization by leaps and bounds.
• DYNAMIC DIPLOMACY: Interactions with other civilizations change over the course of the game, from primitive first interactions where conflict is a fact of life, to late-game alliances and complex negotiations.
• GREAT AGES: As your civilization ebbs and flows, and you reach milestone Historic Moments, you will move towards Dark Ages or Golden Ages, with challenges or bonuses to match.
• LOYALTY: Cities now have Loyalty to your empire – let it fall too low, and face rebel units and a potential declaration of independence. But one civilization’s loss can be your gain - attract new cities to peacefully join your empire by inspiring Loyalty among your rivals.
• GOVERNORS: Recruit, appoint, and upgrade powerful characters with unique specialization bonuses and promotion trees to customize your cities, and reinforce Loyalty.
• COMBINED ARMS: Expanding on the “one unit per tile” design, support units can now be embedded with other units, like anti-tank support with infantry, or a warrior with settlers. Similar units can also be combined to form powerful “Corps” units.
• ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: Volcanoes, storms (blizzards, sandstorms, tornados, hurricanes), floods, and droughts bring the world to life like never before. Your settlement choices are more important than ever as you balance high risks with high rewards.
• POWER AND CONSUMABLE RESOURCES: Strategic resources play an enhanced role, and electricity has been expanded. Power plants now consume units of fuel each turn. Initially you’ll be using Coal and Oil, but renewable energy sources become available as technology advances. Your choices about resource usage will directly affect the world’s temperature and can cause melting ice caps and rising sea levels.
• ENGINEERING PROJECTS: Shape the earth itself by building canals, dams, tunnels and railroads. When settling cities, consider the flood risk to coastal lowland areas, but keep in mind that in the late-game, new technologies like Flood Barriers can be used to protect these tiles.
• WORLD CONGRESS: Make your voice heard among the other leaders of the world. Earn Diplomatic Favor through Alliances, influencing city-states, competing in World Games, and more. Use Diplomatic Favor to extract promises from other leaders, vote on Resolutions, or call a Special Session to address an emergency.
• 21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGIES & CIVICS: A new era has been added to the Technology and Civics trees. Combat new environmental effects with speculative ideas such as relocating your population out to seasteads and developing technologies to recapture carbon emissions.
• ENHANCED MULTIPLAYER: In addition to traditional multiplayer modes, cooperate and compete with your friends playing on Xbox in a wide variety of scenarios all designed to be easily completed in a single session.
