Firaxis published an Update Check-In article outlining some exciting updates coming soon to Sid Meier’s Civilization VII.  

Update 1.3.0 arrives next week and is packed with naval-themed updates, including a new unit, building, combat updates, ocean resources, and a continued emphasis on balance efforts.  

Alongside 1.3.0, a new sea-themed, two-part Content Collection called Tides of Power launches. Part one of the Collection includes a new leader, Edward Teach, and two fresh civilizations: Tonga and the Republic of Pirates. The second part of Tides of Power arrives in December and will introduce the formidable leader Sayidda al Hurra, along with the Ottomans and Iceland. Tides of Power will be free for all players for a limited time.  

Finally, Creative Director Ed Beach hinted at some larger changes coming to Civilization VII, including testing dramatic changes to the Legacy Paths and Victories as well as playtesting ways to play one civ continuously through the ages. These changes, and others, will be tested and shaped with the help of the community as part of a new initiative called the Firaxis Feature Workshop.
