Civilization VI: Gathering Storm brings climate change to the world’s attention

Surprise! Civilization VI is getting a new expansion. Alright, fine, it’s not terribly surprising - it’s tough to shock you hobbyist generals, weaned as you are on Sid Meier’s decades-long lesson in preparation and patience. It’s especially tricky on this occasion, given that Civ VI’s second expansion was leaked in detail nearly a month ago. Not everything is already known, though: back then we thought the pack was going to be called Vesuvius - the mother of all leaks, in a sense - but now we know its true name is Gathering Storm. That’s a rather more ominous title, but don’t fear: we’re here to explain exactly what’s coming in that dark cloud of new content, out on February 14 next year. For the first time, Civ is taking on geology and climatology, in the form of floods, eruptions, and major climate change. Yep, Gathering Storm introduces fossil fuels, and with non-renewable power comes grave responsibility - if you’re not careful you’ll reshape the map, with knock-on consequences for every nation. In this land grab, the land is shrinking.
