Uncover the secrets of victory in Civilization 7! Learn about all the victory types and strategies to help you dominate the game.
If you want to achieve victory in Civilization 7, you have various pursuable avenues and methods. From Legacy Victory methods to complete domination of opposing civilizations, this guide will look to familiarize you with all the possible victory conditions in the game. We’ll also provide helpful tips that can make achieving these victories far easier.
Understanding Types of Victory in Civilization 7
The following are the six distinct ways of winning the game:
- Economic
- Culture
- Science
- Military
- Points
- Domination
Amongst these, Economic, Science, Culture, and Military Victories are Legacy Victories. They will require you to follow a Legacy path throughout the different ages, which earns you Legacy Points. Now, let’s take a detailed look at these types.
Economic Victory
As the name suggests, this victory relies on making the maximum amount of wealth and ends when you establish a World Bank. Throughout the different ages, you will need to perform specific activities to unlock this type of victory. For instance, during the Antiquity Age, you will need to establish trade routes with the different civilizations. During the Exploration Age, you need to settle towns in distant lands, so that you can discover treasure and send it back to your main civilization for increased economic growth.
Finally, in the Modern Age, you will establish an extensive railway network that connects different civilizations, which will further improve your economic condition.
Culture Victory
In this type of victory, the aim is to impress other civilizations with your culture, so that you can leave a lasting mark. To achieve this, you can build Wonders during the Antiquity Age. They will remain standing throughout the ages and provide powerful boons. Next, during the Exploration Age, you need to send a group of explorers in search of religious artifacts. When you’ve found 15 of these, you will unlock the World’s Fair Wonder in the game. Build this Wonder in any of your cities to achieve this victory.
Science Victory
This victory relies on having the most advanced technology and completing several science projects during the Modern Age. To earn Legacy Points, you will need to discover and then display codices across the different academic institutions in the world. When the Modern Age starts, you will need to have considerable Production and Science to complete all three Space Races in the game. After that, you will need to complete the Staffed Space Flight project to unlock this victory. Keep in mind that you have to race against time to complete these prerequisites before another player can get there.
Military Victory
If you want to go the conquering and slaughtering way, the Military Victory in Civilization 7 might be right up your alley. While taking over other civilization and lands are a big part of this victory, that’s not all you have to focus on. Instead, you will earn Legacy Points in the Exploration Age by settling in new cities across the sea. In the Modern Age, you will have to establish an ideology and earn ideology points. When you have gathered 20 ideology points, the game will allow you to build the Manhattan Project Wonder.
After that, simply complete the Operation Ivy project to achieve this victory. Ensure you know how to heal units as it will help you in this quest.
Points Victory
Even if you aren’t typically aiming for a Legacy Path Victory, earning Legacy Points throughout the game can be highly beneficial. If you and the other civilization fail to achieve victory through any of the five other methods, the game will continue until the end of the Modern Age. When time runs out, the Legacy Points of all civilizations will be tallied. The Civilization with the most number of Legacy Points will win.
Domination Victory
As you might have guessed from the name, this Victory type involves taking over all other civilizations and eliminating all resistance. This means that you will need exceptional military strength to emerge victorious in all the constant wars you fight. Also, if you are playing the full game (with multiple Ages), you cannot achieve Domination Victory during the Antiquity Age. However, you can achieve such a win from the Exploration Age onwards. This makes the Domination Victory unique as it lets you win the game without ever progressing into the Modern Age.
