APEX AGE: ANTIQUITY

Add the Tonga civilization to your collection in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII!*

This content is available as part of the Tides of Power Collection DLC** bundle featuring two leaders, four civilizations, and four Wonders.

Into the endless blue, in search of new lands on scattered islands, the Polynesians sailed, settling the island of Tonga nearly three thousand years ago. Around 1000 CE, though, came another expansion, the Tu’i Tonga Empire – a struggle for dominance, tribute, and fealty over the Pacific. The Tongan kings maintained this system of hierarchical lordship over the islands until it, too, splintered.
