The more streamlined approach to conquering world history may not appeal to veteran fans of the Civ series, but it does make the game more accessible and approachable for newcomers and casual players.

The gist of our most recent preview is that the ages system is genuinely transformative, but we haven't quite decided yet whether or not we hope Civ 8 puts things back the way they were.

Suffice it to say, you’ll probably have enough here to keep you playing until Civilization 8 launches. There’s just one day to take advantage of this deal, however, so don’t wait around.
