Legend Unlocks, and the Legend Path System as a whole, are new toCivilization 7and act as a form of progression that extends beyond the game currently being played. In other words, it allows you to unlock cosmetic and mechanical features for future playthroughs by completing certain objectives.
In thisCivilization 7Guide, we’ll tell you all about how Legend Unlocks work and how you can access them, while also providing a list of the available Foundation Legend Unlocks as an example of the kind of rewards you can earn through this system.
Legend Paths, Explained
Civilization 7contains several Legend Paths, each of which contains challenges that, when completed, will earn EXP towards leveling that path.Whenever you gain a level in a path, you’ll get a Badge, Title, Banner, Border, Background Color, or Memento.Most of these are cosmetics that can be used for your profile icon, while Mementos are small equippable bonuses you can apply at the start of a game.Leader Legacy Paths can also unlock extra Attribute Nodes that can then be accessed in-game,and unique Policy Cards that are exclusive to the Leader whose path unlocked it.
There is a “Foundation Path”, which contains general challenges, and then a separate Legend Path for each of the playable leaders in the game, which each contain character-specific objectives.
Foundation Legend Path, Explained
The Foundation Legend Path is the biggest in the game, and includes a wide assortment of general challenges. There are 50 levels of this path to complete, and 265 challenges to earn experience from.
All Foundation Legend Path Challenges
TheMajority of Foundation Legacy Path Challengesact as either milestones, rewarding you for playing the game a lot, or as encouragement to try certain strategies with certain civilizations, to guide you toward useful strategies and wonders.
