Civilization VII doesn’t just hand you towns and cities on a silver platter, though.
However, the Settler is much different from the Scout, as you don’t directly control the Settler.
you’ve got the option to pick any spot you want, though.
Settlers can take damage if you make them travel a great distance, especially over water.
This increases the time to find the settlement and the death potential of your Settler.
Legatus specifically can find a settlement every three levels and on any spot you’ve explored.
When choosing a spot for a settlement, you want to keep a few things in mind.
Here, you’re able to either befriend the Independent or incite a raid with them.
Click that to disperse the Independent.
During that time, you’ve got the option to spend more Influence to speed up the process.
However, other leaders can do the same to undercut you so they can become Suzerain.
When this happens, the capital will turn to your colors and be added to your settlement total.
Once a settlement is captured, you have the choice to keep it or raze it.
Keeping the settlement means it stays in your total and becomes a part of your empire.
Razing it keeps it a part of your empire temporarily for 10 turns.
After 10 turns, if no other leader captures it, the settlement is destroyed.
This is due to the attack it just suffered, which lowers the settlement’s happiness levels.
This can only be done several turns after the war has begun.
As you progress in Civilization VII, your settlement limit will continually increase.
However, if you exceed the limit, your current settlements will lose happiness until the limit is met.
There’s so much to learn and discover when you’re exploring the massive world of Civ 7.
