The science, domination, culture, and religious victory allows players to increase progress proactively be it from building units, buildings and other systems already in the game that increase a players progress to victory. Currently, the diplomatic victory lacks a consistent way to proactively increase your own progress towards the victory. player can increase their Diplomatic Favour, which in theory should increase their chances at a diplomatic victory. It is also possible for other civilizations to vote for a player to lose a point. Each of these votes allows civilizations to gain two out of a needed ten points to win a diplomatic victory. Starting in the modern era of the game, civilizations will start voting on a world leader. Civilizations can also trade Diplomatic Favour between each other. Each city-state civilization has allied gains that give them additional Diplomatic Favour per turn. In order to vote on these choices, civilizations need to accrue a new diplomatic currency called “Diplomatic Favour.” Civilizations can get Diplomatic Favour through a few methods: the easiest and most common way to do so is by allying city-states to your civilization. Civilizations then vote on an “A” and “B” choice on two different policies with the “A” choice usually being positive, and the “B” choice being a negative version. Unlike in Civilization V policies that will be voted upon are randomly chosen by the game. These policies range from promoting a world religion to the banning of nuclear power. The World Congress, starting from the medieval era, allows civilizations to meet after a certain amount of turns have passed – with meetings happening more frequently later in the game – and democratically vote on world policies. Gathering Storms brings back the diplomatic World Congress, and with it, the diplomatic victory condition. Overall, this forces a civilization to think about how the environment will affect a new city before they place it. Previously great settle spots are now much riskier. ![]() ![]() No longer can you settle a city just based on what resources are nearby. ![]() The addition of these features adds new depth to city placement in Civilization that was sorely missing. Floods and volcanic ash will add bonus fertility to the tiles near them but can also damage or even kill your city’s population. There is also river flooding and volcanoes, which serve as risk reward systems. ![]() Along with tile flooding, Gathering Storm adds blizzards, droughts, hurricanes, tornados, sandstorms, all of which can severely damage your cities. If you fail to properly plan your city placement, and place an important expansion for a city on the coast, it can cripple that city if that tile floods, and possibly your entire civilization if it was a key city. While you can mitigate these factors later in the game, you are, before that point, completely vulnerable to the whims of nature. As civilizations increase the warmth of the planet, causing the sea level to rise, whole tiles will partially flood before completely disappearing, removing anything on that tile. Both of these systems intertwine as civilizations emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere causing natural disasters to increase in severity and frequency. The first major change to Civilizations 6 is climate change along with natural disasters. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm introduces a load of new content for players to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate.
