APEX AGE: EXPLORATION

Add the Bulgaria civilization to your collection in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII as part of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection DLC!*

In the seventh century, the Bulgars crossed the Danube and made the Balkans their own. Their warriors used the mountains to their advantage, scattering larger armies through skill and stratagems. The First Bulgarian Empire ran on conquest, expansion, and the growth of trade. The Second Empire saw the rise of art, literature, and architecture alongside spirituality and monastic traditions. All came crashing down when the Ottomans invaded.
