Civilization 7 - Morse Code Translation and Meaning

You'll encounter a narrative event containing some Morse Code in Civilization VII (Civ 7). Check out this guide to find out what the Morse Code means and what choice to pick to get a positive result!

List of Contents

Morse Code Translation and Meaning

Initial Morse Code Transmission

A Transmission
Initial Morse Code Transmission
-.-. --.- -.. . .- ....- .-. -.-
Translation: CQDEA4RK
1 --. .- --- -- .... .-- ..--..
Translation: GAOMHW?
2 --.- .- --. ..... .---
Translation: QAG5J

In the Modern Age, you might come across a Narrative Event showing some hyphens and periods which represent Morse Code. When you translate the Morse Code, it may look like gibberish at first but it's actually abbreviations.

Abbreviation Meaning
CQDEA4RK
(Prompt)		 "Calling from A4R, over."
GAOMHW?
(1st Choice)		 "Good afternoon old man, how do you copy my signal?"
QAG5J
(2nd Choice)		 "Arrange your flight in order to arrive over at 5J."

"A4R" and "5J" are probably made-up location codes for the narrative event.

1st Choice - Positive Result

Warm Greetings
1st Choice Morse Code Result
--. .- -.. .-. --- -- ..- .-. ..... ----. ----.
Translation: GADROMUR599

Selecting the first choice in the first narrative event will get you the following Morse code response next turn and grant you +900 Science.

Abbreviation Meaning
GADROMUR "Good afternoon dear old man, you are..."
599 5 - perfectly readable
9 - extremely strong signal
9 - perfect tone

"GADROMUR599" means "Good afternoon dear old man, you are 599." The numbers at the end describe the signal received which basically says that the signal is clear and understood.

2nd Choice - Negative Result

A Chilly Response
2nd Choice Morse Code Result
-. .. .-.. .-.. .. -.. ... -.-
Translation: NILLIDSK

The second choice leads to the following response in the next turn and give you -50% Science for 3 turns.

Abbreviation Meaning
NIL "Nothing" which means no signal to transmit or transmitted.
LID "Poor operator" which means the operator has poor transmission quality or technique.
SK "Silent key" which means end of contact indicating the end of transmission.

"NILLIDSK" would then roughly mean "No signal, poor radio operator" indicating a negative response to your message.

Really enjoying how clear the tips are on this Civ 7 comment thread — a few of these strategies totally changed how I approach early expansion. It’s cool seeing how different players handle the same challenges. I also mess around with decoding random messages for fun sometimes using this: <a href="https://www.morse-code-translator.world/" rel="nofollow ugc">Morse Code Translator</a>.
