Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Ocean tiles provide 1-3 food and 2-3 trade points, with movement cost 1 for water units.

Ocean tiles provide 1 food, increasing to 2 food for fishes, and 3 food for fishes when your civilization is in a republic or democracy government. Trade points start at 2 and increase to 3 when in a republic or democracy. The movement cost is 1, but only water units can move into these tiles. There is no defense bonus (+0%) on Ocean tiles.

Tips
  • Ocean tiles can hinder war progress early in the game.
  • Start building beach cities only after acquiring good navigation units.
  • Ocean spots become very valuable for trade gain later in the game.
  • Avoid staying in despotism or anarchy governments to maximize the usage of Ocean tiles.
