New Civs, Leaders, and Wonders are Coming Soon to Civ 7

Hot on the heels of Civ VII’s Deluxe Edition launch, Firaxis has unveiled its ambitious 2025 Post-Launch Roadmap. The Crossroads of the World DLC promises to enhance your gaming experience with two new leaders, four new civilizations, and four new natural wonders, split across two releases in early and late March 2025.

The first wave, scheduled for early March, will introduce Ada Lovelace leading Great Britain and Carthage, along with four new natural wonders. Following closely in late March, Simón Bolívar will lead Nepal and Bulgaria into the fray.

While specifics about the new leaders, civilizations, and wonders remain under wraps, we're here to share some informed predictions. Remember, these are speculative and based on historical and real-world data, so enjoy them with a dash of humor and no offense intended.

Ada Lovelace Leader Ability, Attributes, and Agenda Prediction

Ada Lovelace, known historically as the first computer programmer, is poised to be a science-focused leader in Civ 7. Her aristocratic roots and connection to Lord Byron suggest her abilities might revolve around the Codex and Specialist mechanics, areas not yet explored by other leaders. With Great Britain's anticipated bonuses, Lovelace is set to guide players towards a science victory.

Simón Bolívar Leader Ability, Attributes, and Agenda Prediction

Simón Bolívar, famed as The Liberator of America, returns from Civ 6 to lead with a Militarist/Expansionist approach in Civ 7. His historical military acumen and the game's new Commanders mechanic suggest he'll focus on maintaining mobile forces through logistical prowess, differentiating him from other leaders like Trung Trac.

Carthage Unique Bonus, Unit, Infrastructure, and Wonder Prediction

Carthage, known for its trading prowess in the classical world, is likely to be a naval trade and coastal-focused civilization in Civ 7. However, with Aksum already filling a similar role, Carthage might focus on increasing Trade Route capacity and Culture bonuses from international trade, potentially synergizing well with the Colossus wonder.

Great Britain Unique Bonus, Unit, Infrastructure, and Wonder Prediction

Great Britain, a staple in the Civilization series, is expected to reflect its Industrial Era dominance in Civ 7. As a Modern Age civilization, it may offer bonuses tied to naval production and trade, with a production boost from Oxford University, reinforcing its science and industry strengths.

Nepal Unique Bonus, Unit, Infrastructure, and Wonder Prediction

Nepal, nestled near the Himalayas, is a new addition to Civ 7. As a Modern Age civilization, it's likely to leverage its military and cultural heritage, with unique units benefiting from mountainous terrain. The wonder it will synergize with remains a mystery, but it's sure to add a unique flavor to the game.

Bulgaria Unique Bonus, Unit, Infrastructure, and Wonder Prediction

Bulgaria, making its debut in Civ 7, will embody the theme of the Crossroads of the World DLC. As an Exploration Age civilization, it's expected to emphasize Military and Economy, focusing on Cavalry and leveraging its historical ties to the Ottomans and proximity to the Silk Road.

Crossroads of the World DLC Natural Wonder Bonus Predictions

The Crossroads of the World DLC will introduce four new Natural Wonders, each enhancing Tile Yields. While they won't offer unique bonuses, these wonders will add new strategic layers to your Civ 7 campaigns.
