In Gathering Storm, the second expansion of Civilization 6, the world around you is more alive than ever. Set a course for victory with your people as you develop new advanced technologies, launch engineering projects, and negotiate with the global community on important issues at the World Congress.

The decisions you make throughout the game will affect the world's ecosystem and may affect the future of the entire planet. Natural disaster like floods, storms, and volcanic eruptions can plunder or destroy your modernizations and districty - but they can also renew and enrich the land. In addition to these new game systems, Civilization 6: Gathering Storm introduces eight new civilizations and nine new leaders. Additionally explore seven new world wonders and a multitude of new units, districts, buildings, and upgrades.

Strategic resources play an important role in Gathering Storm, as they are now used in power plants to generate electricity for cities. initially, players will power their most advanced buildings by burning carbon-based resources like coal and oil. As players reach today's technologies, however, renewable energy sources become unlocked. Depending on the way you choose to produce your energy, the earth's temperature will be affected. Too much carbon emissions can lead to the melting ot the polar caps and rising of sea levels. Shape the world around your empire and overcome the sometimes unfavorable environments through modernizations. Build canals, dams, tunnels, and railroad tracks to connect our cities.
