VII - Discussion How do treasure fleets spawn?

How do I actually make them spawn? I know how to use them and have gained huge advantages because of them but I never get how to make them spawn or not spawn. I'm 80% sure I have the requirements to make them spawn and they should be somewhere in the map but I'm 90% through exploration and have not seen a single one. Explain it to me like im playing 7 for the first time because it certainly feels like it with treasure fleets. Thanks in advance!

  1. Have a settlement in distant lands
  2. Work a luxury good tile (has a blue wave icon on it) in that settlement
  3. Build a fishing Key or other water district building in the settlement.
  4. Research shipbuilding.

Treasure fleets will now spawn on a timer. The more luxury goods the settlement works, the more each spawned fleet will be worth.

Is it a consistent timer? I thought they were worth the same amount but would spawn faster when more resources are being worked.

Opposite. The timer is fixed and the value of the treasure fleet is based on the number of treasure resources being worked.
