The Apocalypse Game Mode introduced a new Support unit, the Soothsayer, who can trigger disasters onto nearby tiles and come with special promotions. In order to earn promotions for the Soothsayers, players will compete in a new Appease the Gods Competition, which triggers randomly throughout the game independently of the World Congress. During the Competition, the Soothsayer will have a special ability to sacrifice nearby military units to an active volcano to earn scores equal to the units' Strength Combat Strength.

In Apocalypse Game Mode, the Disaster Intensity will be set to 4, with all disasters much more intense and frequent. The Climate Change phase will start at 1, instead of 0 (10% Ice is lost and sea level starts at 0.5 meters). Two additional types of disasters are also introduced: Solar Flares, a global disaster and Comet Strikes, signifying the impending end of the world.

When the Climate Change reaches phase 7, the world will enter the Apocalypse phase, where Comet Strikes will happen every turn until the end of the game. The other disaster unique to this mode, Solar Flares, will also begin occurring; this is the only disaster that affects the entire world at once.
