Overbuilding an Altar in Civilization VII (Civ 7) will give you the option to melt or construct a relic. Learn whether you should construct the relic or melt the relic by reading our guide below!
List of Contents
If you are aiming for the Culture Legacy Path in the Exploration Age, you should get this relic to help you reach 12 relics for the Golden Age.
Make sure you have enough buildings with relic slots in your civilization to showcase it and receive its +2 to culture and happiness.
A slight production boost can be great for civs that rely on specialists. These are science and culture civs that need to maximize these yields. It is also useful for military civs that need production to create armies quickly.
When you overbuild on an Altar in the Exploration Age, you might trigger the Narrative Event called Holy Remnants. This will let you choose between the relic or the production boost.
An Altar is a building that should be overbuilt because it does not have any unique abilities in the Exploration Age.
