Quarters and Unique Quarters are interrelated concepts in Sid Meier’s Civilization VII. Although they look similar, they have distinct variations. A Quarter forms when two buildings of the same Age or Ageless category are built in the same urban area. In contrast, when two Unique Buildings share the same tile, it forms a Unique Quarter. However, both provide unique effects and enhance your civilization in different ways.

Let’s dive into the insights about Unique Quarters in Civilization 7, including how to unlock and create them, along with their effects.

Unlocking Unique Quarters in Civilization 7

Quarter tiles grant boosts and unique effects. Various in-game mechanics, such as the Policies or leader abilities boost the Quarters. They also contribute to your city’s defense, as walling the Quarter enhances the defense rate. You can also assign a Specialist on Quarter to receive Adjacency Bonuses, which further enhance your yield.

On the other hand, Unique Quarters, such as Necropolis and Acropolis, can be formed when two Unique Buildings of a specific civilization share the same tile. Each Unique Quarter offers unique effects and benefits.

These can be unlocked through the Civic Tree of specific Civilizations, usually appearing in the first nodes. Although, Unique Quarters offers significant advantages, spreading the Unique Buildings across different tiles can sometimes yield better results, depending on your strategy and layout.
