Dynamic Era Focus: Each new era allows players to refocus their civilization's development, while still benefiting from past achievements.
-
Personalized Leader Bonuses: Frequently used leaders unlock unique bonuses, adding replayability and personalization.
-
Era-Specific Gameplay: The multiple eras (antiquity, modernity, etc.) offer distinct gameplay experiences within each timeframe.
-
Adaptive Gameplay: The game's flexibility allows players to recover from strategic missteps. One reviewer successfully overcame a military disadvantage by adapting their resource allocation.
