APEX AGE: MODERN

Add the Ottomans civilization to your collection in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII!*

This content is available as part of the Tides of Power Collection DLC** bundle featuring two leaders, four civilizations, and four Wonders.

From the shores of the Bosphorus, the Ottomans ruled an empire spanning six centuries and three continents. By the 19th century, the world's wealth flowed through the Grand Bazaar and the Ottoman navy ruled the seas. Tension between the religious and the secular prompted major reforms to reforge the Ottomans for a new era. But these changes came too late, and the empire gave way to the modern Republic of Türkiye.
