Civilization VII's Content Collections offer additional paid content to expand on the game's foundation and open up new strategic possibilities for building empires you believe in!

Crossroads of the World Collection includes:

• 2 new leaders: Ada Lovelace, Simón Bolívar
• 4 new civilizations: Carthage, Great Britain, Nepal, Bulgaria
• 4 new Natural Wonders: Machapuchare, Mount Fuji, Vihren, Vinicunca
• 1 badge cosmetic bonus

If you don't want to watch smth on YT, and avoid the click:

• Advisor movies (I, of course, wholeheartedly agree)
• Palace Screen (I know this was one of my favourite things as a kid - even though it is completely superfluous)
• Changing leader art (i.e. Outfits and such change with tech progress)
• Joining Great People to cities (Like in Civ IV)
• Hotseat Multiplayer (It may seem obsolete nowadays, but I genuinely think it does add a nice, more communal kind of MP where you don't have to bring your PCs like in a LAN)
• Keyboard movement
• Bigger maps
• Release the games when I was 10 (instead of when being a sad adult)

Not sure how I feel about the gold vs production mechanic but the rest sounds really cool.

I don't know why Ars Technica has so many civ 7 reviews. Previous one was 2 weeks ago.

The lyrics:

THE ILIAD (Ancient Greek)
me man aspoudi ge kai akleios apoloimen
mega rhexas ti kai essomenoisi puthesthai
(Let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle,
but let me first do some great thing)

BEOWULF (Old English)
Ure æghwylc sceal ende
gebidan worolde lifes;
wyrce se þe mote
domes ær deaþe
(Each of us shall endure
this world’s life until the end;
let he who is able
achieve fame before death.)

POPOL VUH (K’iche’)
Nab'e chel iwe,
Nab'e nay puch kixq'ijiloxik
Rumal saqil al,
Saqil k'ajol.
Ta chuxoq.
Mawi chisachik i b'i'.
(You shall be the first to arise,
and you shall be the first to be worshipped
by the sons of the noblemen,
by the civilized vassals.
So it shall be!
Your names shall not be lost.)

RAMAYANA (Sanskrit)
ihaiva nidhanam yamaah
mahaa prasthaanam eva vaa
(Here let us all for death prepare,
Or on the last great journey fare.)
