The Maori join Civ 6: Gathering Storm, and they start the game at sea

Civilization VI: Gathering Storm will bring us the Maori, who are now the second officially-revealed addition to the civ roster. Kupe will serve as the civ’s leader here - according to historical Maori legend, he set sail from Hawaiki and discovered the land that would eventually be known as New Zealand and eventually led his people to migrate there. That translates to a unique starting position, as the Maori begin the game at sea. The leader’s unique ability is Kupe’s Voyage, which sets the Maori far apart from other civs. You’ll start the game at sea and gain bonus science and culture until you pick a spot to place your first settlement. Once you do, you’ll get a free builder, extra population, and additional housing and amenities. Since you're starting on the ocean, Mana, the civ’s unique ability, naturally gives you sailing and shipbuilding technologies from the very beginning of the game, as well as improved movement and combat abilities for units that have embarked. This ability also gives you bonus production in woods and rainforests, as well as bonus food from fishing boats.
