Add the Assyria civilization to your collection for the Antiquity Age in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII!*

This content is available for individual purchase, but is also available as part of the Right to Rule Collection DLC bundle featuring two leaders, four civilizations, four Wonders, and one badge cosmetic.

Nestled in the Fertile Crescent, Assyria was one of the earliest states to dominate the region. From beginnings in the city of Ashur to the rise of the great Neo-Assyrian Empire, a long succession of kings would oversee the bloody conquest of Babylon, Egypt, and others – acting as a conduit for Mesopotamian culture throughout the lands. These conquests would later spell doom for Assyria, as a Babylonian revolt ended the empire in 609 BCE.
