Like in the Exploration Age, Modern Age civilizations will also be locked until certain conditions are met. Even if you don’t unlock any from either age, you’ll still have a few choices, especially if a civilization is tied to a leader, such as Himiko for Meiji Japan.

List of Natural Wonders | - |
Wonders are the in-game counterparts of world wonders. You can find them by exploring the map and researching Civics and Technologies. Building wonders and settling next to them provide adjacency bonuses, granting more yields for tiles.
Great People are unique units tied to certain civilizations. They provide various buffs, such as granting additional sight or increasing happiness yields for specific buildings.
All Victory Conditions and Types
Victories are the endings of each civilization you run. Each victory depends on how you develop your civilization, whether through culture, science, economics, or military runs.
Civics are beliefs, ideologies, and philosophies that your civilization can study and implement. Each age offers different Civics, with some locked behind specific civilizations, such as Arrival of Hapi, which can only be unlocked by playing Egypt.

Technologies in the Antiquity Age focus on improving basic livelihoods, such as farming, trading, education, and navigation. This is also the first stage of all three ages, where you build the foundation for the victory you want to pursue later on.

Technologies in the Modern Age focus on modernization, providing advanced tools that help you steer your actions toward your chosen victory path more quickly.
List of Buildings and Improvements
Buildings are establishments you can place on tiles to boost yields. Each age transition introduces new buildings, allowing you to overbuild for even higher yields. Ageless Buildings, however, do not change across ages.
Units are controllable members of your civilization that serve different roles. Most provide combat capabilities, while others have specific functions, such as Merchants for Trade Routes, Missionaries for spreading religions, and Settlers for establishing towns.
Resources are natural products that your civilization uses for commodities and trade. Many can be found on the map and may be claimed by expanding into them. However, some, like Treasure Resources, can only be accessed in Distant Lands.
