Firaxis Games has released Update 1.2.3 for Civilization 7, which has brought a range of gameplay improvements and additional content in the form of fresh civilizations and a new leader. Civilization 7 now has Assyria as a civilization option, bringing powerful buildings and units for you to expand your horizons with.
Assyria comes in as a new Antiquity Age civilization, meaning you can kick off your campaign with strong military bonuses. It goes hand-in-hand with new leader Genghis Khan and the expansionist attributes he possesses. However, it’s definitely worth considering when selecting any militaristic leader in the roster.
