So in Civ 7, leaders and civs are separated. At the start of the game, you’ll pick a leader who you play as throughout your run, as well as a civ.
The civs available to you depend on the age, so if you start in Antiquity you’ll have appropriate civs from that time period to choose from. When you get to Exploration, you’ll get to choose another, and so on.
You’ll keep everything, it’s just that your name (I think) will change, and obviously, each civ will have its own strengths and weaknesses, different units, art, etc. I hope that, since they’re now tied to their age, it’ll allow them to really focus on what made them unique within their time period, rather than having to make the Roman Empire make sense in the Modern age.
I’m not sure what Civ 7 specific features there are, but I’m sure their options will depend on your chosen civs as well.
It also seems like there’s some sort of unlock mechanism for what civs will be available for you to choose from in the next era - you’ll assumably have to do certain things in an era to unlock specific civs for the next era
That makes sense, I guess. Like to choose a skillset for the next epoch, if you’re right. That sounds kinda cool. Almost like a skill tree for your civ, only that it comes with a civ name change.

They stole the idea from Humankind. On the other hand, Humankind did come after the king, so they shouldn’t have missed.
Game’s pretty good btw, if you want to play what Civ 7 is apparently going to be.
