Civ 7 has been Overhauled - Time-Tested Civs, NEW Victories, Triumph Sets & Balance Changes!

Welcome back to Civilization 7's transformational rebuild - the Test of Time Update. Today Firaxis revealed more changes coming to their significant civ 7 updates - one civ per game, reworked victories, and triumphs instead of legacy paths. A lot of extra detail was revealed today in some patch notes, ahead of the release of Civilization VII's Feature Workshop 2 - the beta build that this video covers. In this video I'll give you a full breakdown of how playing as one civ works, from sycretism to the test of valor. Then we'll talk reworked victories, largely with a focus on points and dominance across the ages. Thirdly, we'll talk those glorious expanded Triumphs that're replacing the victory paths, and finally - the balance pass. Pay attention to the happiness changes in particular! As well as specialist and adjacency rebalancing. HOW CAN I PLAY AS ONE CIV? WEN UPDATE FOR ME? These changes are currently available in the Firaxis Feature Workshop. Build 2 is on now through the last week of February, 2026. The Test of Time Update is expected to roll out publicly sometime this Northern Hemisphere Spring (March, April, May) - though EVERYTHING is still subject to change and feedback!
