Develop your civilization across several areas of progress. Research technologies to improve your Science, Military, Spirituality, Culture, and Industrialization. Grow your population so that illustrious Leaders can emerge and change the world, even after their deaths.

Your civilization’s history can follow many different paths. Build a powerful philosophical current of humanity, use your Philosophers to become one of its forerunners, and help determine its evolution. Send Builders to create wonders from your territory—achievements intended to outlive everything, even men.
