While other civilizations in the exploration and modern age have access to unique civics that aren't visible when you select them respectively, the impact to the antiquity age is much more significant. Also note: Leaders that are still locked behind NDA are not included for consideration in these rankings.
No love for Harriet Tubman? She's easily going to be one of the strongest leaders in vegetation heavy maps, and she also pairs well with Greece for espionage purposes.
@ComplexityComplex She has a very cool group of bonuses and tbh it's hard for me to place her, if i was going to play a Tubman game, I'd probably go Han Chinese. Huge bonuses to influence through the civic tree, as well as the great wall for defense when the enemy inevitably declares war on you! Could get some great stacking with her Momento, Lantern (Migrant appears in the capital when you complete an espionage act without being detected).
@@JustOneMoreTurn I was thinking of pairing Isabella with Han China, as colonizing natural wonders in Civ V could result in a very spread out Empire that could be vulnerable to invasion, so I figure being able to build the Han Great Wall would let Isabella turtle around natural wonders. But I don't know if Han China's bonus' fit with Isabella's. I don't even know if each city can build their own Great Wall, or if you can only have the one Great Wall. Can settlements build Great Wall segments?
FYI, the civilization reveals on the civ 7 website do have these civics listed, but I agree that it would be so much more convenient to have them listed in-game when you choose a civ.
I was looking at the website yesterday and it had all the bonuses and civics listed but had a lot of ‘gain an amount of science’ type wording rather than a clear plus 3 or whatever it actually is ingame.
You're mixing up flat bonuses and policies; you refer to them all as "you get X" when it's really not. The buffs with plus-signs are unconditional, you get those from just researching the civic, but the quill buffs are policy unlocks. Those cost a policy slot!
What about pairing Trung Trac with Rome? She gives your first Legatus 3 promotions for free, and that legatus can now settle a town, so you get your 2nd settlement a few turna after discovering discipline
great approach to pick a leader and looking for specific buffs instead of just going through everything one after one. all the best for your new channel, looking forward to see civ content. but also love to see those casted games, keep going drongo!
When the title spoke about "Hidden Bonuses" i must admit i was thinking about the true hidden bonuses like start biases ~ Though i don't mind a closer look at the civilization specific civics.
Thanks so much for this video, having all of this in one location really helps a number cruncher like me figure out what I want to play on my first run.
Really informative and really interesting to see these combos, would be great to expand this into the exploration and modern age civs and cover the embargo leaders too
32:45 So busy squeeing over trade range he didn't notice the Dhow is _also a merchant._ The range is probably better, but a galley+merchant combo isn't bad either.
Yup, surprisingly few trade civs for this poor guy to pair with, especially considering it's one of the main things to do in the antiquity age. They've announced Carthage will be released in March, maybe it will be another one.
Nice to think about which combinations suit which gameplay styles. One aspect I'm very interested in is diplomacy/influence which means I need to try Greece and Han. Probably with the leaders you mention, although I wonder if Himiko might work well with one of those as well.
The other bonus of Xexes is also very powerful：it will increase the unique improvement for 1 culture and 1 gold, which is almost double for classical time, and thus it should also be good for Han, due to the Great wall(probably not Persia, as Persia really requires the war)
Haven't played the game, doing some cooking, really wanted a civ to play Greece with. What do you think of Baroque Friedrich with greece. You gain an infantry unit on constructing a culture building, which you can as greece, and that unit is upgraded to your unique unit and you gain a unique great work when you capture an enemy city
Awesome video, i initially though you would be talking about civ and leader specific narrative events, like how if you build the colleseum as Rome, you get some fun bonuses via a narrative event What about pairing Friedrich with Egypt? Via his abilities, you gain medjay for free after constructing persona specific buildings, and as Egypt medjay cost no maintenantce, and can generate gold for bwing stationed in your settlements That seems like a fun way of gaining gold while also having a decent defensive force without investing production or money into it
Drongo your content is a cut above the rest. Can you do an Antiquity age civ pairing with Isabella. She looks like so much fun exploring for natural wonders.
I think Isabella could go well with Khmer. She doesn’t directly boost specialists but having a few high yield wonder tiles would make growing pop for specialists much faster, at least if you get a food wonder.
Question: Does the Greece 50% influence towards befriending a city state stack with the Diplomatic Point in the tier 2 tree that also gives 50% influence towards befriending a city state. This would essentially give you free befriending to city states?
Are you a Mandarin speaker? Your pronunciation of Junzi really caught me off guard 😅 Great and unique video, looking forward to Exploration and Modern civ pairings!
How does Tubman work with Han or Greece? Haven't seen any gameplay of her yet, but as a spy leader, influence civ seems like a clear synergy, particularly alongside Han's defensive bonuses.
I was ready to dislike and request never to get recommended this guys videos for trying to clickbait me… until I realized he is entirely correct and this is a common problem with many strategy games. It’s just that civ didn’t have it in 5 or 6. Great video man
I actually think you should take a second look at his bonus to unique improvements and buildings as well as the memento that gives gold and culture to them. If you place down a whole bunch of unique improvements, then get a city state or two and pick their unique improvements and since unique improvements only cost 100 gold it seems like you can just fill entire cities and towns with these things which will get you +4 gold +4 culture in antiquity in addition to the improvement itself. The kicker is they will last into the next age which seems totally busted to me. I would love to see you try it out as buffed ageless infrastructure seems like the most broken thing in the world to me unless I'm wrong and there is a severe limit to placing unique improvements.
the video would have been shorter if you would have done the civilization alphabetically. More seriously great video and way to present each civ and pair them with the right leader !
Interesting to recommend Trung Trac for Maya for the vegated start, and not Harriet Tubman who has a vegetated start AND better movement through vegetated terrain.
She has a very cool group of bonuses and tbh it's hard for me to place her, if i was going to play a Tubman game, I'd probably go Han Chinese. Huge bonuses to influence through the civic tree, as well as the great wall for defense when the enemy inevitably declares war on you! Could get some great stacking with her Momento, Lantern (Migrant appears in the capital when you complete an espionage act without being detected).
Just spitballing, here, but Harriet Tubman strikes me as a sort of nonhistorical wildcard perfect for just about anything other than deserts or tundra starts.

You can access the civilopedia once you're ingame, it reveals each of the civics but it only gives a historical context, it doesn't actually tell you what they unlock, see here: i.imgur.com/zjxBtBf.png

@@rneumann7229 yup, also a point worth noting is that future patches and updates might potentially tweak the values or add or remove some bonuses.
I'm so happy Drongo is doing civ content. And the crafting of these videos are top notch too
For having only 3 videos, you are by far my favorite channel making Civ7 content, keep up the great work!
I think he had a different channel or something before; a lot of people seem to know who he is in the comments.
If you ever watched Age of Empires, hes pretty big there. Probably did a new channel for civ to not frick up his algo
@karu1585 exactly, UA-cam doesn't take kindly to those who mix their interests
You're mixing up flat bonuses and policies; you refer to them all as "you get X" when it's really not. The buffs with plus-signs are unconditional, you get those from just researching the civic, but the quill buffs are policy unlocks. Those cost a policy slot!
Great point! After watching back that was something I definitely forgot to explain, apologies!
What about pairing Trung Trac with Rome? She gives your first Legatus 3 promotions for free, and that legatus can now settle a town, so you get your 2nd settlement a few turna after discovering discipline
NICE Combo! I overlooked this one! I feel like Trung Trac has so many great synergies across the Antiquity civs.
Not only that, but your other commanders also get +20% experience, which means they'll be able to settle their towns more quickly as well!
great approach to pick a leader and looking for specific buffs instead of just going through everything one after one.
all the best for your new channel, looking forward to see civ content. but also love to see those casted games, keep going drongo!

@@MegaHuntressthat’s hardly a bonus you can miss since she seems to always have one in the capital 😅
@ you underestimate m̶y̶ p̶o̶w̶e̶r̶
The stupidity of some people.
Also, it was mainly made as a joke as OP talked about starting bias.
There doesn't seem to be a wrong choice, which is awesome. So much synergy, very cool to see.
Hi Drongo, im a big fan of your aoe3 and aoe4 content, but love that you're picking up civ7! Looking forward to more of this!
Can't wait to play this game in 3 years
This was a really interesting video! Nice breakdown of some combinations that aren't so obvious from the main screen!
Thanks so much for this video, having all of this in one location really helps a number cruncher like me figure out what I want to play on my first run.
Exactly why I did it. I knew that if I didn't have early access I'd be pulling my teeth out trying to compile all this info!
Totally underrated channel. Great video!
Great content coverage thus far! Most unique I've seen
Great video. Keep it coming Drongo.
Bro, your channel is amazing. Keep going and you might pop off like crazy
Really informative and really interesting to see these combos, would be great to expand this into the exploration and modern age civs and cover the embargo leaders too
I’m so happy My Stormgate is doing civ content. Also the crafting of these videos are top notch too
How did you find that channel lmao, I never posted there.
32:45 So busy squeeing over trade range he didn't notice the Dhow is _also a merchant._ The range is probably better, but a galley+merchant combo isn't bad either.
HOLY
Yup, surprisingly few trade civs for this poor guy to pair with, especially considering it's one of the main things to do in the antiquity age. They've announced Carthage will be released in March, maybe it will be another one.
Great Britain seems like a good candidate for trade later on too
Nice to think about which combinations suit which gameplay styles. One aspect I'm very interested in is diplomacy/influence which means I need to try Greece and Han. Probably with the leaders you mention, although I wonder if Himiko might work well with one of those as well.
You should make another broken strategies video, last one with confucius was so good
Hope you'll do videos likes this for the next Ages too.

Can you make a part 2 pairing him with exploration civs
It's on the list!
the video would have been shorter if you would have done the civilization alphabetically.
More seriously great video and way to present each civ and pair them with the right leader !
Do the non tradition abilities for civics carry between ages or do they go away like civ abilities? I haven't seen any direct clarification on this
From my calculations they go away.

can I get a timestamp
You can't access the civilopedia from the menu? Surely you can once in the game. You don't have to wait until chiefdom. Bullshit clickbait title.

I really hope they change the starting city look cuz it looks so bad :D
It does look a bit out of place for the age of antiquity when we're just researching agriculture, I agree - but I do think it looks great.
