Civilization 7 will let you hand the keys to the nukes to Benjamin Franklin and Harriet Tubman, and guess what? America's just showed up

Civilization 7 will finally let me fulfil a boyhood dream: deploying nuclear weapons against Benjamin Franklin. Firaxis has unveiled two more leaders you'll be able to play as in its upcoming history sim, guiding their nations across the millennia like some kind of dread, undying volksgeist.

The two new head honchos revealed for Civ 7 are Ben Franklin and Harriet Tubman, revealed during a recent showcase of the game's Modern Age. Also making a proper debut in that stream: America! That makes sense. As the history buffs out there might know: Ben Franklin and Harriet Tubman were both American, and America is actually a real country, not just a place they made up for films. As you might expect, a lot of the USA's abilities revolve around expanding and building up its gold reserves.
