World generation is also changed: new terrain features, geothermal fissures and volcanoes, spawn along mountain ridges separating continents, and floodplains now spawn in larger clusters exclusively along rivers. However, doing so will increase CO 2 levels in the atmosphere, increasing the frequency of disasters. Late-game buildings can have their effectiveness improved by providing with the new power resource, which can be obtained by burning resources such as coal and oil. The frequency of these events is affected by a new climate system.

The expansion introduces natural disasters in the form of volcanic eruptionsriver floodsrising sea levelshurricanesdust stormsblizzardstornadoesand droughts.Īdditionally, some of these events can be beneficial to players for example, after river floods and volcanic eruptions, affected tiles may have their yields increased. The player has to face how their environment changes over time, whether randomly or as a consequence of their environmental decisions. The focus of the Gathering Storm expansion is improving the game world with the weather and how human action affects it in the last eras of the game. It received generally positive reviews upon release.
