Learn how to play as India (Gandhi) in Civilization VII. This guide covers new features, Gandhi's unique abilities, and strategies for victory.

This guide focuses on playing as India under the leadership of Gandhi in Civilization VII. While the source text primarily discusses general game features and mechanics, it provides context for understanding how specific civilizations and leaders will interact within the game's framework.

Key Game Mechanics Relevant to India (Gandhi):

• Ages System: Civilization VII features three distinct Ages (Antiquity, Exploration, Modern) with unique tech and civic trees. Each civilization is tied to an Age, and players can transition to new civilizations based on gameplay choices. This system will influence how India's historical strengths and Gandhi's pacifist tendencies manifest across different eras.
• Influence Yield: A new yield type, Influence, is crucial for diplomacy. Gandhi's historical focus on non-violent resistance and international relations suggests Influence will be a key resource for India.
• Settlement Types: The division of Settlements into Towns and Cities, with Towns initially focused on Gold production, will impact early game expansion and economic strategy for India.
• Rivers: The introduction of navigable rivers adds strategic depth to movement and trade, which can be leveraged by any civilization, including India.
• Age Transitions and Crises: Temporary 'Crises' during Age shifts force players to adopt negative policies, potentially impacting all civilizations. Gandhi's unique traits might offer ways to mitigate or even benefit from these crises through diplomatic or non-violent means.
