The Industrial Era represents a turning point in the game for various reasons. First, the scientific momentum that the earlier development of Education has produced finally matures, resulting in the big technological leap known as "industrialization." Besides the development of several very useful buildings, this leap is best represented by the revealing of three new strategic resources: , , and . At the same time, the parallel development of culture results in a renewed interest in the past of civilizations, revealing another, non-strategic resource: Antiquity Sites. All of these novelties will spark another burst of expansion, as everyone tries to get access to these vital new resources.
Industrialization also brings the gradual social development to the threshold of modernity, and requires that your civilization adopts an Ideology. This will shape the rest of the game for you, becoming a major influence on your way to victory.
On the military front, the development of Artillery brings a new era of siege warfare, allowing attacking armies to level city defenses from afar. Guns gradually invade all aspects of combat, replacing melee weapons and armor.
