Great People are a special type of civilian unit in Civilization VII and its expansions. As in previous Civilization games, they represent specific historical figures; in a departure from previous games, they are unique units, meaning that they are available only to specific civilizations.

Players must satisfy special conditions in order to train or purchase Great People. Each eligible civilization receives a randomly-selected Great Person from a pool of 10 upon training or purchasing one, and much like in Civilization VI, each individual Great Person provides a distinct bonus and can be earned only once.

Only one Great Person is an exception to the rules above: the Great Banker, which is available to any player following the Railroad Tycoon Legacy Path.

Players can use the Activate Great Person Action to trigger a Great Person's bonus, but only if the unit is positioned on the required tile and has Movement remaining.
