Kit's verdict · 7.3/10
Bold ideas and gorgeous presentation, with a launch that felt unfinished.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Ages keep the late game from dragging
- Beautiful art and music
- Leaders and civs mix in fun ways
Not so much
- Switching civs breaks the fantasy for some
- Launch interface was thin
Play it if civ players who want a fresh take and don't mind change.
Skip it if fans who just want a bigger Civ VI.

Tips
Play it better
- Follow Legacy Paths in each Age, since they give points you spend on bonuses when the next Age begins.
- Towns can't build much but feed their gold to cities, so pick which settlements to grow.
- Watch the settlement limit, as going over it hurts happiness.
- Use Commanders to move armies as one stack and level them up.
- Plan for crises at the end of each Age, since they get harsh.
- Look at a civ's unlock rules in the next Age early and steer your empire toward the one you want.
