During the Exploration Age of you Civilization VII playthrough, you might stumble across a special kind of ship called the Treasure Fleet. This is only granted to you by procuring a specific type of resource and it’s required to complete some objectives for the Economic Advisor. However, beyond that, the game doesn’t truly explain what the fleets are used for or how they work.
Fortunately, we played enough Civilization 7 to understand the Treasure Fleets, and they are a goldmine if used properly. Below, we’ll show you exactly what to do with Treasure Fleets and how to make boatloads of gold with them.
How to get Treasure Fleets in Civilization 7
For starters, let’s talk about how to acquire your first Treasure Fleet. This type of ship is only given to you if you procure the Silver resource, which is indicated by the silver pot and orange background icon. You need to have this resource within one of your settlement’s borders and then build a mine on the resource tile when you get the chance to grow your settlement. It’s also required to have the silver resource be connected to a settlement with a coastal border.
