NEW DLC OUT NOW – CULTURES OF OCEANIA
6 New Cultures:
- Era
1 – Pama-Nyungan (Aesthete) - Pama-Nyungan languages were
spoken by groups who spread across most of Australia’s territory from the
mid-Holocene era onward. Pama-Nyungan speakers brought not only their
languages and social organisation but also new cultural and artistic
practices as they set down roots.
- Era
2 – Polynesians (Expansionist) - During the first
millennium BCE’s final centuries, the triangle formed by the islands of
Tonga, Samoa, and Uvea was the birthplace of Polynesian culture. In this
vast expanse of ocean, the Polynesians developed innovative navigation
techniques—with which they set out to conquer the Pacific.
- Era
3 – Rapa Nui (Builder) - The Rapa Nui colonised Easter
Island around the 1100s. On this isolated territory, they managed to
overcome difficult conditions to survive, make use of the land’s mineral
resources, and cover their ground with monumental statues and ceremonial
structures.
- Era
4 – Māori (Militarist) - Māori populations mainly settled
on Te Ika-a-Māui, the North Island. Here, they built a thriving and
complex society, structured into clans and extended families, whose bonds
of solidarity were maintained through conflicts and wars.
- Era
5 – Hawaiians (Agrarian) - Starting in the late 1700s,
Hawaiian society entered a period of deep changes. Political unification
and increased contact with foreign cultures transformed their highly
stratified systems, even as Hawaiians continued to steward the bounty of
both land and sea.
- Era
6 – New Zealanders (Scientist) - In the 1940s and 1950s,
New Zealand accelerated its movement away from the British imperial
framework. Over the following decades, its leaders widened the social
model inherited from the Seddon and Savage governments, while also
investing in technologies to ensure the country’s energy independence.
6 New Wonders
- Aitutaki Lagoon
- Bungle Bungle Range
- Whakaari Volcano
- The Royal Palace of Papeʻete
- Mauna Kea Observatory
Plus 7 independent peoples, 15 new narrative events, and new
in-game themed music tracks composed by Arnaud Roy.
