Keep in mind when choosing this map that it doesn't actually wrap around like a globe would, as the top and bottom are impassible borders. You get a smattering of larger continents along with some smaller land masses to expand into with your naval forces.Ī central water area dominates the map, with land masses surrounding on the top, bottom, and sides. Missing the “Earth” maps from previous Civilization titles? This is the closest thing currently available (until some modders get us a real one or more map types arrive in DLC anyway). Looking for other Civilization VI guides? Check out: Check out our guide to the Districts right here. Other than choosing the type, you can also specify World Age (amount of hill and mountain tiles), Rainfall (amount of forest tiles), Temperature (amount of desert and tundra riles), Sea Level (water tiles), and the amount of resources present, from sparse to abundant.Īside from changes in map setup, the new Districts system also significantly modifies how you build cities while expanding and conquering.
Each of the six main map setups also feature a horde of different options - from size (2 player Duel to 12 player Huge) to specifying what types of terrain are found across the map.
