Firaxis Games has recently announced that the second expansion for the sixth installment in the Civilization series will be coming our way this Valentines Day which will bring more leaders/civilizations and introduce natural disasters to the mix of global domination.
As we already had to watch our backs for invasion against feuding nations, now another threat will be present as you craft a great civilization. From floods, storms, and erupting volcanoes, you will have to be prepared for these natural disasters depending on the choices you make. The game’s ecosystem will have a firm response on how you use resources when your civilization prospers, but the after affect of a disaster will help the Earth despite the cultural tragedy.
With these new problem to face, there are countermeasures that can be performed to prevent this from happening. The new Technology and Civics trees will assist players in how to deal with these environmental catastrophes and create new emission fighting apparatus to further any storms from occurring. Engineering projects will also play a role in keeping your civilization safe by creating dams, canals, and flood barriers to hold off the elements.
Two new scenarios will be coming with the upcoming expansion: The Black Death which has the notorious Middle Age plague afflicted upon your civilization with the objective to oppose the illness by maintaining the population and sustaining your nation’s economy. Second scenario War Machine is exclusive to both France and Germany, reenacting Germany’s advancement onto Belgium and later France during WWI, You either play France to prevent the invasion or Germany to carryout the attack.
Civilization VI: Gathering Storm will be available for PC on February 14, 2019.
