How To Cross The Ocean in Civilization 6

Crossing the ocean in Civilization 6 opens up new strategic possibilities for exploration and expansion. This guide walks you through the essential technologies you need to research and the simple steps to navigate across ocean tiles with your units.

Understanding Ocean Navigation Requirements

To enter tiles outside your border and successfully cross the ocean in Civilization 6, you must first research two critical technologies: Cartography and Astronomy. These technologies are fundamental to enabling ocean navigation for any of your units.

Researching the Required Technologies

Access the Tech Tree

Begin by opening the Tech Tree to locate the technologies you need. Navigate to your technology screen to view all available research options.

Research Cartography and Astronomy

In the Tech Tree, you’ll find both Cartography and Astronomy listed. Research both of these technologies to unlock ocean crossing capabilities. Once you’ve completed research on both technologies, your units will gain the ability to navigate the ocean.

Crossing the Ocean

After researching both Cartography and Astronomy, you can now move any unit across ocean tiles. Simply select your desired unit and command it to cross the ocean. Your unit will be able to traverse these previously impassable water tiles freely.

Summary

Crossing the ocean in Civilization 6 is straightforward once you have the right technologies. Remember to research both Cartography and Astronomy in your Tech Tree, and you’ll be ready to explore new continents and expand your civilization beyond your current borders. With these two technologies unlocked, any unit can navigate ocean tiles with ease.
