ur Civilization VII Analyst: Technology and Civics

Technology

There are now separate tech trees for each of the three Eras; the views we have do not suggest any connections between the Antiquity and Exploration trees. It is not clear how any unfinished techs are handled at the end of an Age. One also notes that the Exploration Age appears to begin in the Medieval era.

• Some technologies and civics have "Masteries" which can be researched to enhance the tech.
• You cannot progress past the tree for your Age until the next Age begins, but each Age has its own repeating "Future Tech" options.

The tree below is mostly from the Antiquity livestream, but the Masteries in that build just display duplicates of the parent tech, so I have substituted the older Masteries from the first gaemplay showcase, where available. Those are probably out of date, but they are better than nothing.

Social Policies

As in Civ5 and 6, Social Policies are "cards" that are unlocked by Civics and which can be slotted into governments.

• The number of Social Policy slots is determined by a number of factors, but not by government type.
• Social Policies are unique to an Age, and disappear after the end of that Age.
• Social Policies obtained through the civilization-specific tree are called Traditions and do not expire between Ages.
