How Ages work in Civilization 7
Tanks and planes fly in Civilization 7.

Your journey in Civilization 7 will take you from the early stages of history all the way through the modern day. This has always been true for the series, but now the game breaks up its progression into distinct chunks known as Ages. This is arguably the biggest change Civilization 7 has made from previous versions, and you need to understand exactly how it works before worrying about any other tips and tricks. Ages aren't just a cosmetic feature but represent important milestones in your Civilization 7 journey that you need to plan for if you hope to come out on top. There's a lot to unpack here so let's break down everything you need to know about how Ages work.
What are Ages?

The easiest way to think of Ages in Civilization 7 is as chapters or major milestones in your game. By default, you start each game in the Antiquity age, move into the Exploration age, and end in the Modern age. You cannot achieve any victory before reaching the Modern age and unlocking your Victory Condition through one of the four Legacy Paths. Essentially, reaching a new Age means you have made significant progress toward one of the possible victory conditions and are moving the game state forward.
