To play the current challenge between December 12 and January 9, go to the main menu in-game and click on "Seven Seas - Challenge of the Month." Note that if you don't own any of the DLC featured in the challenge, you will be granted free trial access to it for use in the challenge so you don't miss out.

The second of these challenges, Seven Seas, is now live, and—based on feedback from the first challenge—can be attempted at either Prince or Emperor difficulty. We'll update this page with details on upcoming challenges as they become available.

CHALLENGE 2: SEVEN SEAS
The continents have been consumed by oceans. Civilizations persist, scattered across the mountainous islands that remain, but for some it will prove nigh impossible to thrive in this unfamiliar environment.

Playing as the Norwegian leader Harald Hardrada, you find yourself at an advantage. You've already explored most of the ocean, your Viking Longships are unrivaled in naval combat, and you have the unique ability to pillage your enemies' coastal tiles. During the Seven Seas challenge, played in Heroes & Legends mode, the victory condition you pursue is entirely up to you. That sea air sure smells like Domination, though!

Game Parameters Mode: Heroes & Legends
Difficulty: Prince / Emperor
Speed: Standard
Player Leader: Hardrada (Konge)
Map Type: Island Plate
Map Size: Large
RuleSet: Gathering Storm
Start Era: Classical
Resources: Standard
World Age: New
Start Position: Standard
Temperature: Standard
Rainfall: High
Sea Level: High

NOTE: Civilization VI's ESRB interactive Elements have been changed and "in-game purchases” has been added.

EVENT 1: THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE

The Age of Abundance is upon us! From now until December 12, test your leadership skills in the first of our new series of in-game events by achieving a Culture Victory as the Greek politician and general, Pericles.

You start with two cities and 1000 gold, close to valuable resources, and on the exact same map as other Civilization VI players around the world. There are no barbarians to interfere with your plans, so the fate of Greece's cultural legacy is entirely in your hands. Good luck!
