TL;DR – Every single feature of Civilization 6 (at time of posting) in one map

Article –



This week, well two days ago at the time of writing, the new and second expansion for Civilization VI called Gathering Storm was released. It added new Civilizations, City States, World Wonders, Natural Wonders, and most interestingly Geographical Features (see all new features HERE). With that in mind, I knew I had to immediately jump in and update our Full Civilization VI Map.



Now as always, a couple of notes before we start, first the Civilization boundaries on the map are based more on clarity than anything else, so in most cases, they conform to their modern counterparts. We have also worked using the commonly implemented political borders, not necessarily what nations claim, and this means making some judgement calls which you will see below. Also, while all attempts have been made to make sure that everything is accurately placed, putting this together meant working from multiple different sources, and map projections, and as such, no matter how much you try there might be some slight discrepancies here and there.



Finally, after the break there will be a lot of large images, so now is the time to check that you are on WiFi and are not using Mobile Data.

Africa

We begin our tour with Africa, the home of civilization, which is thematic on many levels, and I dig things being on multiple levels. In Africa, we only get one new Civilization in this expansion … well, one and a bit. So our first new entry is Mali who are a long sort after addition, and personally, I am glad they added one of the Niger River Empires.



When it came to adding the civilization I actually had my only major stumbles when it came to placing city locations. In past maps, epically with some of the older civilizations, just Googling the city location is not enough. So you need to go searching for it through different websites, textbooks, rummaging through journal articles for that nugget of information. Well, none of that helped for two of the locations, for example, I know that one of the spots was mentioned in Ibn Battuta’s travels, and was four days walk from somewhere else, which is not helpful because other than the general area we don’t know where either location was. Or for another, I found out it was one of the Twelve Doors of Mali, but that was as good as it got. All of this means that for the first time other than the Mapuche we have city names without city locations.



The other sort of addition is Phoenicia (and also The Ottomans), in the past, the game has used Carthage as the focus of the civ, but this time they are mixing it up. To sort of show this, I added territory in and around the city of Carthage, in addition to the territory around Lebanon. This means that while there are not as many new African civs, there are a lot of new cities in Africa, especially along the Mediterranean Coast. There is also an interesting addition from Sweden along the Gold Coast that I didn’t think much about before adding it and finding it was a centre used in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which is one of the reasons I like doing this because you learn more about the history of the world, and the history of the location you are using.



Part of me would like to see Ethiopia added into the game in the future, if only because it will mean getting to finish off my Nile River Valley map. Though there are a lot Ethiopian adjacent volcanoes and deserts, so I am holding onto a little bit of hope here even if it is misplaced.

Europe

From one extreme to the other, we go from one map with a lot of space to one that is reaching maximum capacity. Now it is at this point that I need to apologise to the good people of The Netherlands, I see it and I am sorry. It was manageable but adding in the Mountain Ranges (well more like sand hills but who’s counting) really made a mess of things. If I get a chance in the future I might take it and create an insert so it is a bit more manageable, but unfortunately, there was not enough time to do that right now.



Across Europe, we get two new civilizations with Hungary and Sweden being added to the mix, with The Ottomans also saying hello. When putting it together, I had feared that Hungary would turn out to be another Netherlands, as they are tied for smallest territory on the map, but thankfully that was not the case. Indeed, as most of its rivers were already there the hardest thing to do with Hungary was find a good place to add the civilization title, as there was not a lot of room around the edge.



When adding all the different geographical features in I had a lot of fun at times trying to get them all to fit, like someone in the Civ Team really likes Tuscany. Some less fun moments was every time I had to add a new river in Great Britain and had to work out, goodness how is that going to fit, and ‘Mountains, those are Hill as best!’ did escape my lips on at least one occasion.

Fennoscandia

One of the things I was able to do when coming back to this map is fix a couple of the things from the last map that I didn’t think worked as well (okay not all of them, once again sorry The Netherlands). One of the areas I was able to fix was the Scandinavian Peninsula. This meant that I am finally happy with how Norway turned out with a number of the city location placement issues I found in the last map fixed.



This was important because one of the new additions to the game is Sweden, and Sweden was a bit of a mess last time around. Now I only had to worry about two things. Firstly, finding those Swedish volcanoes was a real pain, and even now I am not 100% sure about them. The second was how many lakes do I add, because there are a lot of them, like, a lot, a lot, of them. In the end, I went with a couple of the bigger ones, to suggest all the many, many, many other lakes that are there. It also was interesting to see that one new city in Denmark, and I wonder if that counts out ever seeing them back in Civ 6. (Edit: Viborg got moved to the correct place in Russia, so you are off the hook this time Denmark)

The Mediterranean

Before we move on, I did want to take just a moment to have a look at one of the more interesting areas on the map, and that is the area in and around The Mediterranean. Many of the world’s largest empires have controlled some or all of it, Rome, England, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, The Ottomans, Astro-Hungary, Persia, Greece, Morocco, The Berbers, The Moors, Macedonia, Egypt, Arabia, Mongolia, and more. Every one of them has left their mark which you can kind of see across this map.



This was one of the maps that also benefited from some extra tweaking as I was able to add some better coastlines to Italy, which means I have the cities around Naples in the right spot this time. Also, it is on this map that we get our two triple cities, this is when one location has been used on three different city lists. I wanted to point this out because it has only happened twice, both on this map, but one of the locations is Tripoli which literally means in Greek ‘three cities’ and you better believe that I am here for that coincidence.

The Middle East

The next stop on the round the world is another equally crowded place the Middle East, where many of the earliest civilizations of the world hail from. One of the interesting additions in this map is the City State Akkad, because it means that we now have Sumeria, Babylon, Juda, Hittites, Phoenicia, Egypt and Akkad represented in some way leaving only the Assyrians missing on the Fertile Crescent hit list. While we do have Babylon as a City State, Babylonia has yet to be added to the game which would potentially mean that this is the first time in the history of the franchise that they are not in the game, being one of the foundations civilizations all the way back in Civ 1 … that was released in 1991 … which I played on release … oh dear, I just felt old all of a sudden.



When I was putting this map together, one of the things I decided to add this time around was the unique tile improvements, mostly because I thought it was a shame that the Great Wall was not on the map, and you see some of that here with the Ziggurats. Another thing I also like to see with this map is the interplay between the rivers and the mountains. I did have to compromise a little with the mountain ranges and the deserts as it would just not be practical to add them in like the rivers (the rivers themselves took me over 8 hours to add and that was with most of them already being there with the first map). However, in and around Persia, you get to see the rivers flow from the mountains down.

Turkey

Now we come to the most complicated spot on all the maps, and that was even before we added in The Ottomans. We have cities from Greece, Macedonia, Persia, Arabia, Phoenicia, with now The Ottomans on top. Add to this City States and Natural and World Wonders and this took a lot of time to make sure everything was both in the right spot, and also looking good.

Russia

There have been no major changes to Russia this time around, however, I kept finding that you never had a good look at it because it got chopped up into many different maps. So if you are a Russia fan, here it is in all its glory.

Asia

Interestingly this time around, there actually is not a lot to say about Asia as there has not been that many changes. I will say it was great to learn about a lot of the new Wonders, shout out to the Chocolate Hills that were a rollercoaster of emotions as I found out that there is no chocolate there, but they do in fact look like them, and their actual story is even more interesting. Also, of all the locations I do feel a little bad about not showing to their full extent, The Himalayas is probably the one.





Oceania

Back in my last full map, I mentioned that I was able to make some quality adjustments to make the map look better from the base now that it had been upscaled. However, it did mean that New Zealand ended up being larger than it would be in real life, but I was okay with that. Well, this is one of those rare occasions where Past-Brian was a friend to Future-Brian because when I did that I had no idea that they were going to add The Māori into the game. Not only The Māori but the many, many, many, mountain ranges of New Zealand. Seriously, someone on staff at Firaxis really wants to take a holiday hiking the North Island, and I say we should let them have at it.



Adding to this, I do have to say, I really got a kick in adding all the geographical features into my home country of Australia. I was so much fun going through the list and going ‘I’ve been there’ or ‘That’s just down the road.’ It was also fun because even though I thought I knew a lot about Australia and its geography, I actually discovered a lot of new things while putting this map together.

North America

With North America, we get something old, and something new, something borrowed, and something blue, well I don’t know what we borrowed but the rest holds up. The first thing that is different here is that I have updated The Cree’s map again, it was different in both the City Map and the last Full Map. It has been a struggle to work out a good territorial map that both gives you an idea of The Cree, but also worked in with the map. After a lot of trial and error, I think this is the one that works.



With this map, we also get the addition of Canada … which meant going over all those arctic islands again for like the 8th time. Yo Canada, why do you have so many islands, also lakes so many lakes? Though I have to admit adding Canada was a little bit of fun because that is Canada Flag Red you see there. As well as this, the city distribution gives you a good look at the population distribution of Canada, with most of the population living near the American border. It took a lot to make sure the Canada and Cree maps lined up and while I don’t think it was perfect I am glad it worked in the end. One place I am not happy with is Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence River area, I have tried to make it look better but it is still alluding me, might have to give another shot.

Central America

I wanted to take a moment to look at Central America for a couple of reasons. The first is that there actually quite a lot of geographical features that expand out into the grey. The other thing is that this is one area of the map where there is a lot of space to add new civilizations. For example, we are missing The Maya who are one of the big surprise omissions so far. However, there is so much more to Mesoamerican history and culture that is yet to be explored.

South America

And lo the trip must come to an end, and we will end this travel across the world in the South American continent where we have our last new civilization in the game. I have to admit, I was probably the most excited about adding The Inca for some more selfish reasons than normal (I totally dig their bonuses in-game). I also discovered that there is a VERY volcanic region of Peru, which almost rivals New Zealand with the Volcano-to-Area ratio.



One thing I was surprised to find out is that to make this make work I had to become very familiar with Chile’s many, many, many rivers. While there were some good maps for some of the rivers online, a lot of it required finding the right river out of many candidates. This is not only important for it to look good, but rivers were an important barrier between The Inca and The Mapuche, so I wanted to make sure I was right, or at least right adjacent.

Full Map

Well all good things must come to an end and so here is all of Civilization VI: Gathering Storm mapped out in the one map. It is also a BIG map so if you expand it please give it a moment to chug into life.



With the large map, one of the additions you will see in and around Australia is a couple of inserts. When I was making the first map I discovered after I was down that Photoshop had a hard limit of how many pixels it would convert into other formats. So I had to a quick cut down job to get it to fit which meant getting rid of most of the Pacific Ocean. Now it’s back, sort of, I have added a Pacific Island insert of Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa (though as it turns out no geographical features ended up there, oh well). As well as this, you have a Hawaii insert with all its many volcanoes. Finally, no longer is the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station just stuck at the bottom of the map all by itself in the ocean. It is now where it should be on an insert on the side of the map like God intended.
