  • The world's greatest leaders: Play as one of 45 different leaders from various civilizations around the world and throughout history

  • Build an empire of lucrative trade routes with Cleopatra of Egypt, flex the military might of your legions with Trajan of Rome, or develop a powerhouse of culture with Hojo Tokimune of Japan

  • Each of the leaders can be played any way you prefer, with unique abilities, units, and infrastructure in their quest for victory

  • Expansive empires: See the marvels of your empire spread across the map like never before. Each city spans multiple tiles so you can custom-build your cities to take full advantage of the local terrain

  • Active research: Unlock boosts that speed your civilization's progress through history. To advance more quickly, use your units to actively explore, develop your environment, and discover new cultures

  • 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 negotiations

  • Great ages: As your civilization ebbs and flows, and you reach milestone Historic Moments, you will move towards Dark Ages or Golden Ages, each providing specific challenges or bonuses based on your actions in game

  • Rise triumphantly from a Dark Age, and your next Golden Age will be even stronger - a Heroic Age

  • Lolalty: Cities now have individual Loyalty to your leadership - let it fall too low, and face the consequences of low yields, revolts, and the potential to lose your city if it declares its own independence

  • But one civilization's loss can be your gain as you inspire Loyalty among cities throughout the map and further expand your borders

  • 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, such as anti-tank support with infantry or a warrior with settlers. Similar units can also be combined to form powerful Corps units

  • Emergencies: When a civilization grows too powerful, other civilizations can join a pact against the threatening civilization and earn rewards or penalties when the Emergency ends

  • Timeline: Review your civilization's history at any time with the new Timeline feature, a visual journey through the Historic Moments that you encountered on your path to victory

  • Environmental effects: Volcanoes, storms (blizzards, sandstorms, tornados, hurricanes), climate change, floods, and droughts bring the world to life in a brand-new way. Your settlement choices are more important than ever as you balance high risks and high rewards

  • Power and consumable resources: Strategic resources play an additional role. These resources are now consumed in power plants to generate electricity for your cities

  • Initially you'll be powering your most advanced buildings by burning carbon-based resources such as coal and oil, but renewable energy sources also unlock as you progress to current-day technologies

  • 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 world around your empire to overcome unfavorable land conditions by making improvements such as 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 such as 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, call a Special Session to address an emergency, and increase the weight of your votes in your quest to achieve the new Diplomatic Victory

  • Enhanced multiplayer: In addition to traditional multiplayer modes, cooperate and compete with your friends in a wide variety of situations all designed to be easily completed in a single session
