No two games of Civilization 7 are the same. Every time you begin a new campaign, you’ll be faced with a fresh map to explore. A variety of features appear on a Civilization 7 map and this includes Natural Wonders. Not only are they visually appealing, but they offer an array of bonuses for settling in their proximity.
Natural Wonders add a lot of value to your playthrough, but each Natural Wonder possesses different benefits. In the latest instalment of the Civilization franchise, there are 12 Natural Wonders. Some Natural Wonders have appeared in past Civilization games, while others are making their series debut.
