Setting up a game of Civilization 7 presents a wealth of customizable options to tailor your experience. While you can control many aspects, the map generation remains partially randomized. Options like continents plus, continents, archipelago, fractal, shuffle, and terra incognita, along with size variations (tiny, small, standard), offer a degree of control. However, crucial details like starting locations, terrain, resources, and more are randomly generated. Fortunately, Civilization 7 assigns a unique seed to every game, enabling you to replay specific maps or share them with others. This guide explains how to find your game seed.
Locating Your Civilization 7 Game Seed
Civilization 7 provides two opportunities to access your game seed: before launching the game and during active gameplay.
Accessing the Seed Before Starting
Follow these steps to retrieve your seed before starting a new game:
Step 1: Configure Game Settings
Initiate a new game and customize all the desired options, including map type, size, and any other available settings.
Step 2: Access Advanced Options
On the final setup screen, before launching the game, locate and select the “Advanced” option situated beneath the map options.
Step 3: View the Game Seed
Within the advanced options menu, you’ll find the game seed displayed at the bottom. Make a note of this seed if you wish to recreate this specific map later.
Accessing the Seed During Gameplay
If you’ve already started your game, you can still access the game seed using the following steps:
Step 1: Pause the Game
Pause your current game session. This will bring up the pause menu.
Step 2: Locate the Seed
Look at the bottom right corner of the pause menu. The game seed will be displayed there.
Conclusion
Knowing how to access your game seed in Civilization 7 offers valuable control over your gameplay experience. Whether you want to relive a particularly challenging map, share a favorable starting position with friends, or simply document your progress, the game seed provides the key. Utilizing these straightforward methods ensures you can easily find and utilize this feature.
