A Culture Victory<\/strong> in Civilization 7<\/a><\/em> may not sound as dramatic as a Military Victory<\/a> or a Science Victory<\/a>, but it\u2019s no less exciting. You\u2019ll be building beautiful buildings that survive through the ages, spreading your religion to other countries and bringing the world together with one of civilization\u2019s greatest achievements: the World\u2019s Fair.<\/p>\n

In this Civilization 7<\/em> guide, we\u2019re going to give you a broad idea of how to get a Culture Victory<\/strong> and then give you an age-by-age walkthrough on how to make it happen.<\/p>\n

How to get a Culture Victory in Civilization 7<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

In a Culture Victory, you want to build unique buildings that increase your Culture yield as much as possibly. If you\u2019re using a civilization like the Greeks, you can use their unique buildings together to build an acropolis district, which will net you some bonus gold, but will also give you extra culture via the odeon and parthenon buildings. As you advance through the ages, you\u2019ll unlock temples, and theaters, and all kinds of buildings that will help you increase your Culture yield further.<\/p>\n

Having a high Culture yield is critical, as it\u2019ll help you rocket through the Civics Tree early on in each age. Not only will this give you an advantage over other civilizations, as you\u2019ll be able to customize your government with powerful perks far sooner, but it\u2019ll also unlock the ideas you\u2019ll need to explore in order to eventually achieve victory.<\/p>\n

Wonders, for example, are often locked behind nodes in the Civic Tree. Because Wonders are unique (there can only be one of each per game across all civilizations), you can get a Wonder taken away from you by another player if they complete theirs first. So unlocking the ability to build something like the Colossus \u2014 which is deep in the Antiquity Age Civics Tree \u2014 before anyone else does gives you a head start. (This is also true for religion in the Exploration Age and especially<\/em> true of explorers in the Modern Age.)<\/p>\n

Your ultimate goal in a Culture Victory is to construct the World\u2019s Fair Wonder<\/strong>, which you unlock by finishing the Culture Legacy Path<\/a> in the Modern Age. If you become the first player to build it, the game ends \u2014 and you win.<\/p>\n

As described above, a Culture Victory is all about wowing the world with the soul of your civilization. That sounds corny \u2014 and it is \u2014 but it\u2019s also the way the game treats it, to an extent. You are trying to become what people consider the ur culture, the way folks look to the Greeks now as one of the most ancient and storied civilizations of antiquity.<\/p>\n

Below, we\u2019re going to give you a bit of more structured advice for each age to help you push through the game\u2019s objectives and complete the Culture Legacy Path, which will help guide you to completing the World\u2019s Fair Wonder in the Modern Age.<\/p>\n
