• Research Shipbuilding

Research Cartography to Access Distant Lands

Treasure Resources can only be accessed by crossing open oceans. One way to allow all units to cross is by researching Cartography. After unlocking this technology, settlers will be able to travel across open waters and reach distant lands.

Technologies and Tech Tree

Make a Settlement Close to Treasure Resources

After completing Cartography research, you can send settlers to foreign lands. It's best to send a scout first to find shorter routes, as rough seas will damage units by -15 per tile. Once you've secured a safe path, send your settlers to expand and claim the Treasure Resources.

When to Build More Settlements

Research Astronomy After

While traveling to the distant lands, take the time to research Astronomy. This grants access to Heraldry or Feudalism, one of which you'll need later to unlock Treasure Fleets.

Find Tiles with Spices, Tea, or Sugar

There are only three resources counted as Treasure Fleets: spices, sugar, and tea. You'll immediately know you're in a distant land once these appear on the map.

Find at least five of these and build settlements around them if you want to progress the Economic Legacy Path.

Research Shipbuilding to Access Treasure Fleets

Shipbuilding is the final technology required to unlock Treasure Fleets. By this point, you should already have Treasure Resources, but they will only appear in the Resources Screen after gaining access to Treasure Fleets.

Once completed, build a Fishing Quay afterward to start spawning Treasure Fleets.

How to Use Treasure Resources

Send the Treasure Resources to the Capital City

Unlike Factory Resources, where you can choose what to produce, Treasure Resources are automatically assigned to each Treasure Fleet.

Deliver these to your capital to gain Treasure Fleet Points. While the game states that they must be delivered to your capital, you can unload them at any tile within your mainland territory to earn points and progress the Economic Legacy Path.
