How To Embark Units in Civilization 6

In Civilization 6, embarking your land units onto water is an essential skill for expanding your civilization and navigating naval routes. This guide will walk you through the simple steps required to get your units ready to embark and transition them to water travel.

Research the Shipbuilding Technology

The first requirement to embark units in Civ 6 is to research the Shipbuilding technology. This tech is crucial as it unlocks the ability for all of your land units to embark onto water.

To locate this technology, check the top left corner of your screen and click on the tech tree. Once you open the tech tree, you’ll find the Shipbuilding technology listed. Hover over or select the Shipbuilding tech node, and you’ll see a star icon with the description: “allows all land units to embark.”

Embark Your Units

Once you’ve successfully researched the Shipbuilding technology, embarking your units is straightforward. Simply click on any of your land units and command them to move toward water. As they reach the water’s edge, they will automatically embark.

Your units will now be ready to travel across water and explore new territories that were previously inaccessible to land-based movement.

Summary

Embarking units in Civilization 6 is simple once you understand the two key steps: first, research the Shipbuilding technology from your tech tree, and second, direct any of your land units to move into water where they will embark automatically. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to expand your civilization’s reach across the map and explore new continents and islands.
