Civ 7 First Look Reveals Pachacuti and the Inca

In the game Civ 7, Pachacuti is added to an already impressive roster of leaders and civilizations. There’s no arguing he reigns supreme in mountainous regions. Mountains have historically presented challenges in Civilization games, but some leaders possess unique advantages that make them particularly valuable. During the Exploration Age, these benefits are amplified if you select the Inca Empire as your civilization.

With the special talent called “Earth Shaker,” Pachacuti gains a benefit where structures next to mountains receive additional food supplies. Moreover, his specialists stationed near mountains won’t require any happiness maintenance. This combination allows players to expand their population quickly and enjoy greater flexibility while constructing their empire in mountainous regions.

As the Mountain King, Pachacuti’s mission in Civilization VII involves strengthening his ties with leaders who possess minimal mountain territories. Conversely, leaders boasting extensive mountain territories may find themselves at odds with Pachacuti, leading to a deterioration of their relationship.

When you choose Pachacuti, the Inca civilization is particularly well-suited for his abilities. The Inca cities can work mountain tiles to gain extra resources for both food and production. Additionally, you’ll discover the unique Terrace Farm improvement in the Inca civ, which offers a high yield of food but must be built on a rough terrain near mountains.

To make your Inca Empire even more formidable in Civilization VI, add some additional civic tree bonuses and the Machu Picchu wonder, which boosts resource gathering, culture, and gold. Players can start building their own powerful Inca Empire as early as February 6, 2025, if they purchase the Deluxe or Founders Edition, with the worldwide release date set for February 11, 2025.
