APEX AGE: EXPLORATION

The England civilization is now available in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII!*

This content is available as part of the Hall of History Collection DLC** bundle featuring two leaders and three civilizations. 

Forged in battle, refined at the altar, England dominated medieval Europe. Under the Plantagenets, the crown contended with the church, the aristocracy, and restive neighbors to shore up a kingdom of strength and beauty, of longbows and Gothic cathedrals. Transformed by plague and the Hundred Years’ War, England emerged into the Tudor era rich in arts and economy, primed for reformation and colonial expansion – growth that laid the foundations for the British Empire.
