The latest Civilization 7 stream took a closer look at the Exploration Age, and along the way they revealed another new leader. Announced alongside her home civ Spain, Isabella looks primed to make a monetary powerhouse in Civ 7. With a combination of abilities that feel right at home in the Exploration Age and many different gold methods, using Isabella with Spain may become a favorite strategy when Civilization 7 is released. <\/p>\n

Civilization 7 will include Isabella and Spain<\/h2>\n

Revealed as part of the recent stream and further confirmed with a full first look video now on YouTube<\/a>, Isabella joins a growing list of unique leaders coming to Civilization 7. While she wasn’t featured as a leader in the last few releases, Isabella is another return from Civ 3 alongside Xerxes<\/a>. Isabella first appeared in Civ 2 as a leader of Spain alongside Philip II, but her Civ 3 appearance as a Spanish leader leaves more than two decades since she was playable in this way.<\/p>\n

As an economic and expansionist leader, Isabella comes with the unique ability  Seven Cities of Gold. This allows you to gain gold every time a natural wonder is discovered, and that gold reward is even higher should you discover a natural wonder in distant lands. For those who like strength at sea, Isabella also gets additional gold towards purchasing naval units and reduces maintenance costs for them.<\/p>\n

Spain was confirmed as a new Exploration Age civilization, and their bonuses definitely align with Isabella. Spain’s unique ability is Siglo de Oro, and this increases gold efficiency towards converting a town into a city, especially in distance lands. Spain’s unique quarter is the Plaza which boosts gold for every settlement in distant lands, and the unique Casa de Contratación building gives extra gold adjacency for navigable river and resources tiles. <\/p>\n

However, the most exciting feature for Spain may be the unique Conquistador unit. This Great Person can only be made in Cities with a Wharf, and your specific Conquistador is chosen at random. Since each can only be received once, you can continue to get each one so long as you can handle the increased gold costs. Here are all of the possible units and their bonuses:<\/p>\n
