Discover how to earn attribute points in Civilization 7 with our comprehensive guide.

Attributes in Civilization 7 introduce an RPG-like element, allowing players to customize their civilization through a skill tree. These choices significantly impact various aspects of your game. This guide explains how to acquire Attribute Points and effectively utilize them to maximize your civilization's potential.

Civilization 7:  How to Get Attribute Points

Attribute Points are earned by completing specific actions within six categories: Cultural, Diplomatic, Economic, Expansionist, Militaristic, and Scientific. Most of these actions are tied to Legacy Paths, accessible through the Age Progress screen.

• Legacy Paths: Completing objectives within a Legacy Path grants Attribute Points corresponding to that path's category. For example, achieving milestones in the Militaristic Legacy Path's "Non Sufficit Orbis" objective will reward Militaristic Attribute Points. Similarly, progressing through Cultural Legacy Paths like converting settlements to your religion grants Cultural Attribute Points. Completing all Legacy Paths across all categories is the most effective way to accumulate Attribute Points. Some objectives may even grant multiple Attribute Points or additional rewards alongside them.

• Natural Progression: You also gain Attribute Points naturally as you advance through the ages.

• Narrative Events: Each leader receives 3 Attribute Points through Narrative Events that occur at the 25th turn of each age (at standard game speed).

• Other Sources: Additional Attribute Points can be earned from completing Wonders, achieving victory rewards, and through other Narrative Events that occur throughout your playthrough.

Accessing the Leader Attribute Tree:

To access your Leader Attribute Tree:

The Leader Attribute window displays all attribute categories and the points you have available to spend in each. It also shows your remaining "Wildcard Points." These Wildcard Points, earned from Narrative Events, can be allocated to any attribute category.

Strategic Attribute Allocation:

Carefully consider your civilization's strengths and your desired victory path when allocating Attribute Points. Analyze the available bonuses in each category and focus on those that align with your strategy. Completing Legacy Path objectives related to your chosen areas of focus is a great way to earn relevant Attribute Points.

Respeccing Attribute Points:

Important: Attribute Points in Civilization 7 are permanent and cannot be reallocated. Choose your upgrades wisely, as your decisions are irreversible within a given playthrough. Your attribute point allocation will only change when you reset or start a new game. This permanence emphasizes the importance of understanding the game's mechanics and planning your strategy carefully.
