Civilization 7 - Economic Legacy And Economic Victory Guide
Sid Meier's Civilization 7 offers several ways for you to successfully complete campaigns. One, in particular, sends you on a journey to acquire unrivaled wealth. Here's our guide to help you with the Economic Legacy and Economic Victory in Civilization 7.
How to get a Cultural Victory in Civilization 7 - Cultural Legacy guide
Your Economic Legacy in Civilization 7 requires you to focus primarily on mechanics that deal with resources and trade. This is different from milestones related to Cultural, Military, and Science paths, though you can tackle multiple objectives at the same time. Later, upon reaching the Modern Age, you could be the first to achieve an Economic Victory if you play your cards right.
Economic Legacy in the Antiquity Age: Silk Roads
The Civilization 7 Economic Legacy path is all about obtaining numerous resources, which you can then assign to your settlements. This means buddying up with your neighbors so you can have several trade routes. Moreover, you should be on the lookout for camels. These resources grant +2 slots in a settlement that they're allocated to, allowing you to cram more goodies.
- Step 1: Study the Code of Laws civic.
- Step 2:
- Move your merchant to a foreign settlement (i.e. another civ or a city-state).
- Initiate a trade route.
- Step 3: Improve your trade relations with another civ.
- Step 4: Slot in a total of seven resources.
- Step 5: Slot in a total of 14 resources.
- Step 6: Slot in a total of 20 resources.
Economic Legacy in the Exploration Age: Treasure Fleets
Come the Exploration Age, the Civilization 7 Economic Legacy path becomes significantly more involved. The goal here is to plop down settlements in distant lands--i.e. those on another continent, making sure that there are nearby resources like gold, silver, spices, tea, cocoa, and more.
You then need to have Fishing Quays in these settlements to make a Treasure Fleet spawn. From there, your ships laden with loot need to arrive at owned water tiles in your original continent. You can learn more about this activity in our Treasure Fleet guide.
- Step 1: Research the Cartography and Astronomy techs.
- Step 2:
- Create a settlement in distant lands.
- Build a Fishing Quay in this settlement.
- Step 3:
- Improve five valid treasure-type resources.
- Research the Shipbuilding tech.
- Spawn a Treasure Fleet unit.
- Step 4: Score 10x Treasure Fleet (TF) points by unloading Treasure Fleets in your homeland settlements.
- Step 5: Score 20x TF points.
- Step 6: Score 30x TF points.
Economic Legacy in the Modern Age: Railroad Tycoon and the Great Merchant
So, you've made it to the Modern Age? Well, that just means you're one step closer to a Civilization 7 Economic Victory, assuming this is the path you want to follow for this particular era. The objective now is to amass Railroad Tycoon (RT) points.
To get RT points, you must have Rail Stations in your settlements, as these buildings allow you to construct Factories. Each settlement that has a Factory lets you assign 1x resource into a special slot. Each "Factory Resource" grants an RT point per turn. For example, if you have 10 Factories across your empire and all of these have a resource, then you'll receive 10x RT points every single turn you advance.
- Step 1:
- Research the Industrialization tech.
- Build a Rail Station.
- Step 2: Research the Mass Production tech.
- Step 3: Build a Factory.
- Step 4: Earn 150x Railroad Tycoon points.
- Step 5: Earn 300x RT points.
- Step 6: Earn 500x RT points.
Ah, but you're not done yet. Upon reaching 500 RT points, a Great Banker will spawn in your capital. At this stage, you need to send the Great Banker to every remaining civ's capital to use its special action: Establish the World Bank. The Great Banker also has a unique ability that allows it to teleport instantly to cities, so you need not worry about long travel times.
In any case, once the Great Banker has conducted its activities in all the remaining capital cities, the World Bank will be automatically established, netting you a much-deserved win.
That does it for our Civilization 7 Economic Victory and Economic Legacy guide. We hope these tips aid you in your quest to become filthy rich. If you're keen on learning about the other victory conditions, you can check our guides regarding the Cultural, Military, and Science facets.
