Civilization 7 Reveals Modern Age Civ That Capitalizes On New Mechanic

by

As the launch of Civilization 7 approaches, the last Modern Era civilizations are being unveiled, enriching an already rich lineup for the game at its release. The latest addition is Buganda, which has been showcased in mods previously but will make its official debut as a playable civilization in Civilization 7. Players can expect to exploit several strengths with this civ, but it may prove particularly formidable by leveraging a unique mechanic that’s entirely novel to Civilization 7.

Buganda wields the true power of navigable rivers in Civ 7

One significant update for Civilization 7 is the introduction of navigable rivers within the game. Unlike previous versions where rivers mainly affected water supply and required additional moves to traverse, Civ 7’s rivers are now accessible for various units to travel on and even engage in battle from land.

In the exciting world of Civilization VII, I find myself hailing from the vibrant kingdom of Buganda – a region that flourished in Africa during the late 19th century, largely due to its formidable war canoes. These vessels of war have undoubtedly left an indelible mark on our culture, shaping many of the unique abilities we wield as a power within the game. Our distinctive prowess no doubt stems from these ancient watercraft, serving as the foundation for our strategic prowess in this captivating digital world.

River Raids will offer Buganda extra cultural elements for demolishing structures or enhancing areas, which directly complements their distinctive units. The Mwami commander boosts the profit gained from demolition within its control area, while the Abambowa infantry regiment restores health by demolishing any tile.

From my perspective as a devoted fan, what truly sets this game apart is the unique feature that bestows the Amphibious keyword upon every land unit in Buganda. This means these units can engage in water-based attacks without suffering any combat penalties, although remember that embarking or disembarking still requires movement.

In the era of densely populated and hard-to-conquer cities, I find myself drawn to Buganda as a strategic haven for players aiming for a military triumph. Its civic trees offer an advantage in culture and food production from its lakes and navigable rivers, and it rewards additional happiness and cultural growth from quarters nestled near these waterways.

As a gamer diving into Civilization 7, I find myself intrigued by the unique starting position of Buganda. Unlike other civilizations, it seems to favor regions near lakes and tropical landscapes. The specifics of how to unlock Buganda are yet to be discovered, but judging by its setup, it appears that in the Modern Age, Buganda will offer a versatile combat-focused playstyle. Can’t wait to explore more!
