Egypt - Antiquity Age Civilization

Kemet, the fertile band of the Nile floodplain, is the heart of ancient Egypt. Its over five thousand years of history have been sustained by the river and the life-giving silt that it leaves, building layers of trade, conquest, and the monuments to immortality that were its wonders. Its riches were legendary – and tempting. Egypt fell to Persia in 525 BC, but the Nile still flows.

Ye gods, but the map is pretty. The attention to detail on the buildings is just breathtaking, and the diorama effect is extremely compelling.

 

[Xandinho]

There are many uniques, and that is really fascinating.

Does every civilization have an associated wonder? What to do with civilizations that did not build wonders in real life, such as Zulus?

 

[notNamed]

The attention to detail on the buildings is just breathtaking...

They pay very little attention to history, though. One of the first things that stood out for me compared to Humankind, which also ran with a very similar artstyle but paid much, much higher attention to buildings looking historically accurate.

Completely white Colloseum, chimneys on pre-medieval homes, the Axumites using modern architecture up to green domes,...
It is an extremely strong contrast with a game that went as far as to paint Notre Dame's facade in colors to keep it looking genuine to history.

TBH I remember what nothing looked like in Humankind. Every aspect of the game, from visuals to mechanics, was even more forgettable than Civ7's leader models.

It seems we'll be able to mix districts and buildings as we please. In gameplay reveal the obelisk was built in a district where granary was, on this screenshot the same obelisk is built where this horseshoe building is, while on the granary tile there's some different one (marketplace?).

Am I to understand that only Egypt can build the pyramids now?
But then why is the Colosseum in an Egyptian city?

I read somewhere (can't remember now unfortunately) that civs can unlock their associated wonder early via their unique civics - and get a bonus towards its construction.

I didn't understand that either. It seems like if a civilization builds its associated wonder, it should receive an extra bonus, but I'm not convinced that's the case

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

The Songhai have a +30% bonus to production towards the Tomb of Askia, so...

 

[Krajzen]

Civ unique civic trees are an insane addition (in the positive sense)

 

[Lonecat Nekophrodite]

Is Tjaty means 'Undertaker' in Old Egyptian?

 

[xphantomx]

Yes, I agree but that Godzilla sized donkey is about to bulldoze that city

 

[SeelingCat]

Is Tjaty means 'Undertaker' in Old Egyptian?

It means "vizier."

 

[Lonecat Nekophrodite]

It means "vizier."

but this unit is associated with necropolii

 

[Zaarin]

but this unit is associated with necropolii

Necropoli were royal cult centers in Ancient Egypt.

 

[guilarroyd]

The amount of effort and differentiation they are putting on each civ is amazing and I think this time more than ever this would really allow for different strategies.

 

[raen]

Attributes remind me of good old civ 4

 

[Navelgazer]

Babe the Blue Ox confirmed!
