With the announcement ofCivilization 7,many players have been wondering which leaders of historical civilizations around the world will reappear in the newest installment of the franchise. Some returning leaders might be a mainstay of the series, while others might be relatively new to the games.
These leaders might return to lead the same civilization, or even a different one. The civilizations to be included is still a topic of heated discussion among fans of the series. Nevertheless, fans around the world are excited to see which leaders will make their reappearance in the sequel, even if it is not their favorite.
7Isabella I
The Fierce Queen Of Castile
Although absent inCivilization VIand its downloadable content, Isabella I could make an appearance in the upcoming title due to her prominence in previous games. Leading the Spanish, Queen Isabella has the potential to become a leader thatfocuses on the religionaspect of the game.
It is not clear yet whetherCivilization VIIwill include a religion system like its predecessors. However, if it does, Isabella I will likely appear in the game considering her strength in this aspect of gameplay.
6Dido
Iconic Queen Of Carthage
The queen of Carthage is iconic in the series. This is thanks to her ability to bless the civilization she leads with a unique mechanic, which can be powerful once used correctly. InCivilization V, units of Carthage can cross a mountain after gaining a Great General. They are the earliest civilization that is able to do so.
Her unique mechanic returned inCivilization VI.It gives players theability to move capitalsbetween Dido’s owned cities, as long as it fulfills the requirement of having a Cothon district. Players can expect Dido to introduce some unique mechanics if she is included in the game.
5Otto Von Bismarck
First Chancellor Of Germany
Making his debut in Civilization III, many players expected the first Chancellor’s return inCiv VIyears ago when the game was announced. However, Bismarck did not appear once, even in downloadable content that introduced many other leaders.
Feeling his absence, many players expect Otto von Bismarck to make a return in the upcomingCivilization VII,due to his popularity as one of the famous German leaders. The Iron Chancellor could also introducethe powerful unique unitPanzer in the upcoming sequel, should he be included in the game.
4Sejong
The Father Of Hangul
Making his debut inCivilization V, Sejong quickly became a fan favorite. He leads the Koreans in the series, with a tendency to focus on technological advances. With his orientation to Science in previous games, fans can expect him to have the specialty of Science Victory if he appears inCiv VII.
Along with his Science tendency, Sejong could alsointroduce unique naval unitssuch as the Turtle Ships. This would make him a great addition to the title.
3Julius Caesar
One Of Rome’s Greatest Commanders
Missing onlyl the fifth installment of theCivilizationseries, Julius Caesar has been included in every game in the franchise. It makes sense, as he is one of the primary examples that people use as one of the greatest leaders of history. His popularity and his power make him fun to play in almost all theCivgames.
With this in mind, most fans will have high hopes for the popular Roman statesman and general to reappear inCivilization VII.Most hope that he will be present in the base game instead ofbonus content, as was the casem inCivilization VI.
2Mahatma Gandhi
The Idealistic Leader Of India
Since he has appeared in every game in the franchise, players can expect Mahatma Gandhi to be present as the leader of India in the upcomingCivilization VIIas well. The famous pacifist leader is perhaps most famous in theCivfranchise due to his chance of being incredibly malicious with nuclear weapons, whichoriginated as a bug.
His inclusion inCivilization VIIwon’t be a surprise to most fans of the series. However, there is still a chance that he might not be included in the base game, and will instead make his return in downloadable content.
1Alexander The Great
Undefeated Macedonian Leader
He is known as the most famous general in the world, due to his undefeated streak during his lifetime. Alexander the Great’s inclusion inCivilization VIIis highly expected, even by casual fans of the series. His warmongering tendency will also give him the high potential towin a Domination Victory, as it has in previous games.
Still, there’s a small chance that his inclusion might not be guaranteed. Firaxis Games might have another idea to keep the sequel fresh. However, even though he might be a part of the base game, his appearance in the game might appear in future content.Civ Viintroduces a number of leaders in its downloadable content, andCiv VIIwill likely do the same.
