The second big expansion to Sid Meier's Civilization VI. The Gathering Storm add-on enriches the production with a number of aspects related to climate and geology. In addition, resources and topography or the opportunity to speak at the World Congress play an important role here. Despite that, there are new scenarios and a number of minor improvements and novelties.

Gathering Storm is the title of the second major expansion set to Sid Meier's Civilization VI - a turn-based strategy from 2016. Just like the basic version of this production, the add-on was developed by Firaxis Games studio.

Mechanics

Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Gathering Storm enriches the game mainly with a number of aspects related to climate and geology. The changes taking place all over the world reflect the choices made by the rulers of individual states, and their actions are influenced by such phenomena as snow blizzards, sandstorms, hurricanes and tornadoes, as well as volcanic eruptions and floods (which are the aftermath of rising water levels in the seas and oceans - the result of melting ice caps).

Raw materials and topography also play an important role. Although coal or oil allows for efficient functioning of society, renewable energy sources are becoming more and more important over time. In addition, when choosing a location it is worth taking into account the potential opportunities and threats lurking in a given zone - however, the matter is facilitated by the possibility of sculpting the landscape, for example by building dams or tunnels.
