The Age system is a new addition to the Civilization franchise withCivilization 7.
But it will prove divisive.
Between Ages you’ll also be able to switch Civilizations to something else.
For example, you may start as Rome and then switch to Spain during the Exploration Age.
This makes each Age unique, and each transition comes with its own range of choices and important decisions.

We cover these win conditions in more depth in our Age-specific guides.
When the Age reaches70 percent,a crisis will start.
The age timer is determined by both turn progression and milestone growth.
This may be the Plague, which will reduce the population in your cities and cause unhappiness.
Or it could be a religious conflict.
Otherwise, those cities will become towns again.
Age Transition - A New Civilization
Once the timer reaches 100 percent, the Age will end.
The game will then prompt you to transition into the next Age.

At this point,you’ll be given the choice of a new Civilization to change to.
The game gives some helpful prompts of which each Civilization is good at above their selection option.
Legacy Points are earned via the win condition milestones.
What Actually Happens When A New Age Starts?
However, there are a few aspects that will always happen.
All units will be removed from your opponent’s border and positioned instead on towns and cities.
Although war might end when a new age triggers, your relationship with other world leaders isnot reset.
Your strategy is therefore important from the very start of the game.
