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

Just a day after the launch of Civ VII’s Deluxe Edition, and a week before the standard edition's release, Firaxis has unveiled the 2025 Post-Launch Roadmap. The Crossroads of the World DLC will introduce two new leaders, four new civilizations, and four new natural wonders, spread across two releases in early and late March 2025.

Ada Lovelace will lead Great Britain and Carthage in the early March release, accompanied by four new natural wonders. Later in the month, Simón Bolívar will join the game, leading Nepal and Bulgaria.

While specifics remain under wraps, we can still make some informed predictions about the new additions. Remember, these are just our guesses, based on historical facts and previous game mechanics, and are intended to spark excitement, not to offend.

Ada Lovelace Leader Ability, Attributes, and Agenda Prediction

Ada Lovelace, recognized as the world's first computer programmer, is set to steer Great Britain towards a science-focused strategy. Her unique abilities might revolve around the Codex and Specialist mechanics, untapped by other leaders, enhancing her civilization's scientific progress and leading players to a science victory.

Simón Bolívar Leader Ability, Attributes, and Agenda Prediction

Simón Bolívar, famously known as The Liberator of America, is expected to bring a Militarist/Expansionist playstyle to Civ 7. Leveraging the new Commanders mechanic, Bolívar could focus on logistical prowess to keep his forces advancing, differentiating his strategy from other leaders like Trung Trac.

Carthage Unique Bonus, Unit, Infrastructure, and Wonder Prediction

Carthage, once a thriving trading hub, is likely to specialize in naval trade and coastal development. However, to distinguish itself from Aksum, Carthage might focus on increasing Trade Route capacity and gaining Culture bonuses from international trade, possibly 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 capitalize on its Industrial Era prowess. With potential bonuses in naval production and trade, and a production boost from Oxford University, Great Britain under Ada Lovelace could be a formidable force in both science and industry.

Nepal Unique Bonus, Unit, Infrastructure, and Wonder Prediction

Nepal, a new addition to Civ 7, is likely to be a Modern Age civilization with a focus on military and cultural advantages. Its unique units might benefit from mountainous terrain, and while the Taj Mahal is nearby, its synergies with Nepal's bonuses remain to be seen.

Bulgaria Unique Bonus, Unit, Infrastructure, and Wonder Prediction

Bulgaria, making its debut in Civ 7, is set to be an Exploration Age civilization with a strong emphasis on Military and Economy, particularly Cavalry. Its unique approach might involve leveraging Traditions and Social Policies for steady progression, reflecting its historical context.

Crossroads of the World DLC Natural Wonder Bonus Predictions

The Crossroads of the World DLC introduces four new Natural Wonders, which, in line with Civ 7’s design, will provide additional Tile Yields without unique bonuses. These new wonders will add more strategic depth to your explorations and settlements.
