Civilization VII Attributes Overview

[Eagle Pursuit]

Each leader and civilization in Civ VII is designated with two of six attributes. These attributes are: Cultural, Scientific, Diplomatic, Economic, Militaristic, and Expansionistic. Each attribute is associated with a tree of bonuses that are unlocked one at a time with attribute points. You earn these attribute points through narrative events. The attributes associated with your leader and civilization are the ones you will primarily receive from your leader and civ's special narrative event chain. Other narrative events occur through emergent gameplay, which give you access to the other attributes' bonuses.

Civ Attributes (Nov 18, 2024)

As you can see, you can mix and match leader and civs to create combinations of attributes. Amina leading Greece would give you Economic, Militarisitic, Diplomatic, and Cultural attribute points from the primary narrative events. Amina leading Persia would only give Economic and Militaristic points, but presumably give you double in those two attribute trees.

We have only seen three attribute trees, so far, of the six.

Cultural Attribute Bonuses:

Expansionist Attribute Bonuses:

Militaristic Attribute Bonuses:

I will endeavor to update this post as information becomes available. Discuss!

Just another view, looking at each attributes couples:

It’s nice to have all this in one place, but personally I've always been a fan of using matrices for this kind of thing. Shame the forum's table function is so limited

	Cultural	Scientific	Militaristic	Diplomatic	Expansionist	Economic
Cultural	XXX		Napoleon (Revolutionary)		Augustus	Hatshepsut, Xerxes (Achaemenid)
Scientific	XXX	XXX	Trung Trac		Confucius
Militaristic	XXX	XXX	XXX	Ashoka (Conqueror), Tecumseh	Ashoka (Renouncer)	Amina, Napoleon (Emperor), Xerxes (KoK)
Diplomatic	XXX	XXX	XXX	XXX		Machiavelli
Expansionist	XXX	XXX	XXX	XXX	XXX	Isabella, Pachacuti
Economic	XXX	XXX	XXX	XXX	XXX	XXX

nvm, swooped by Evolena

Very interesting system. Kind of reminds me of the Civ V social policy trees but with an element of RNG from being tied to narrative events. I don't really have any feel for how frequently we will get these points?

I may add that for now, the only Attribute with options in each age and a leader for other Attributes is the Economic one (with either Expansionist or Militaristic).

You can find all of these Attributes breakdown on my Civs and Leaders site (https://civ7-civilizations-and-leaders.tiddlyhost.com/#Attributes)

Ahh, so thats what the attributes do, they give you a heads up about what rewards you get for narrative events. If it just told you about the civ/leader abilities it would be redundant but they obviously cant list every narrative event on the civ selection screen.
