Civ 7 was always going to bedivisive among fans. That’s just the nature of the franchise. Everyone hates the newest game until they come to love it. Civ 7 is different, though.

Finally, a newCommanderis being introduced to the game: Trung Nhi, joining the battle when playing her sister, Trunc T. Trung Nhi features a custom unit model, a distinctive Promotion Tree art, and her own playstyle.
