There are 26 leaders in game - every one has his unique combinations of traits, technologies and UU. The traits have the most significant influence on gameplay - other bonuses are rather limited - starting technologies are only important in first 100 turns, UU - has usually rather short time of usefulness (however - it's sometimes can be enough to significantly alter the course of play).

Civilization VI is here. The whole of human history, its nations and leaders, arrive. But who are they and what can they do? We’ve gathered them all here so you can decide just who you’ll play in your next effort to achieve absolute world domination.Our list includes every single Civ 6 leader, from the original collection right up to those released as post-launch DLC, along with their vital stats and trailers. That’s 31 unique civilizations from a huge variety of nations; from ancient behemoths like Mongolia and Rome, all the way to modern giants such as America and Australia.Civilization VI made our list of the.

Leader: Poundmaker, a chief of the Plains Cree who lived in the mid-19th century and worked hard to make peace with the Canadian government.His leader ability, Favourable Terms, causes all alliance types to grant shared visibility. When trading with foreign cities, camps and pastures in that city will provide additional food for the Cree, and additional gold for their trade partner.

Unique unit: the Okihtcitaw, which roughly translates to ‘warrior’. They replace scouts, and get a free promotion and increased combat strength. Unique tile improvement: Mekewap, which provides housing and production. When adjacent to luxury resources, it also provides gold, and when adjacent to bonus resources, food.

Civilization 4 Best Leader

Unique ability: Nihithaw, which grants a free trader unit when you discover Pottery. Additionally, when a trader enters an unclaimed tile within three tiles of a Cree city, it will claim that tile for your empire.get a lot of early-game advantages, with a stronger scout and a quick trader who can claim tiles as soon as you find a place to send it. Spam Okihtcitaws to find potential trade partners while hoovering up ruins. Handily, their strength should also give you a strong enough army to make some early conquests, which will give you more cities to send trade routes to and from, which in turn means more territory. Beeline economic techs for more trade routes and run expansionist policies to further lean in to all these advantages.Civilization 6 Mongolia. Leader: Queen Wilhelmina, who saw the Netherlands through two world wars and 58 years of rule. Her ‘Radio Oranje’ leader ability grants culture for every trade route to and from a foreign city, and bolsters the loyalty of any city that sends a trade route to another Dutch city.

Unique unit: De Zeven Provincien, a class of warship during the Age of Sail, which served as a ship of the line during the Anglo-Dutch wars. It has increased range and combat strength, and receives an additional combat bonus when bombarding defensible city districts. Unique tile improvement: the Polder,whichcan be built on water tiles next to the coast and provide food, production, and a little housing. These bonuses scale with later techs. Special ability: Grote Rivieren.Representing the canals and waterways upon which the Netherlands founded their mercantile culture (and often their territorial boundaries), this ability grants large adjacency bonuses for campuses, theatre squares, and industrial zones when built next to a river.

Specifically, the yield looks like +2, to judge from the reveal video. Completing a harbour will also claim available adjacent tiles for your empire.are coming in the, and are a bit of a jack-of-all-trades civ with a clear focus on water. Polders look strong, converting otherwise empty water tiles into food, production, and housing. Assuming they are land tiles as they seem, the Netherlands are the only civ who can convert water to land, which could enable some unique strategic plays.

Otherwise, not a huge amount leaps out about the Dutch – settle next to rivers and exploit that adjacency bonus according to your preferred victory type. Culture would be our pick, assuming you’ll be doing a lot of foreign trade.

Civilization 6 Korea. Leader: Queen Seondeok, who ruled Silla, one of Korea’s three kingdoms, from 632-647. Her ‘Hwarang’ leader ability grants +5% Science and +5% Culture to all cities with a Governor. Unique unit: the Hwacha, a rocket battery and a returning unique unit from Civilization V. The Hwacha is a ranged unit that stands out during the Renaissance for its raw strength, but it can’t move and fire on the same turn. Unique district: the Seowon,whichreplaces the Campus and can only be built on hills.

Unlike the Campus – which derives its science bonus purely from adjacencies – the Seowon gives a fixed science yield of +6. That’s huge, especially in the early game, but it goes down by one for every adjacent district. Special ability: Three Kingdoms.Korea’s unique ability causes mines to produce bonus Science, and farms to yield bonus Food, if built adjacent to a Seowon.The first civ to be revealed from the comingexpansion, are all about the science, just like they were in Civ V.

We imagine Science bonuses must be tricky to balance since they lead to techs which then further strengthen your science output, and thus magnify themselves once established. To us, it seems there’s every chance that’ll happen with Korea: beeline to a Seowon and surround it with mines to get a science edge that not even a lucky Great Library will touch. Civilization 6 Khmer. Leader: King Jayavarman VII, who ruled the Khmer Empire (in modern Cambodia) from 1181-1218. His ‘Monasteries of the King’ leader ability enables Khmer to grab adjacent territory, as well as bonus Food and Housing, when Holy Sites are built on a river. Unique unit: the Domrey, a ballista mounted on an elephant.

The Domrey is stronger than the Catapult it replaces, exerts zone of control, and – excitingly – can move and shoot on the same turn. That’s a powerful recipe for early warfare. Unique building: The Prasat,whichreplaces the Temple and provides a Relic Great Work slot. Additionally, any Missionaries produced here will generate a Relic when killed in religious combat.

Special ability: Grand Barays.Khmer’s unique ability grants bonus Food when farms are built adjacent to Aqueducts, and Aqueducts provide both Faithand an Amenity.A third civ joins the game with the ability to steal tiles, and with a powerful move-and-fire siege weapon, too. There’s every reason to make the most of this in the early game with a bit of warmongering, but don’t neglect Faith output – a religious victory is an obvious play for Khmer. Civilization 6 Indonesia. Leader: Dyah Gitarja, a Javanese queen regent. Her prime minister was Gajah Mada – Indonesia’s leader in Civ V – alongside whom she pursued a massive expansion of her empire. Her leader ability, modestly entitled ‘Exalted Goddess of the Three Worlds’, grants bonus Faith to coastal cities and allows her to purchase Naval units with Faith at a discount.

It also eliminates the movement cost for religious units to embark or disembark. Unique unit: the Jong, which replaces the Frigate. It is faster, gains extra combat power if it’s in a formation, and confers its movement speed to all units in said formation.

Unique tile improvement: the Kampung,which provides Housing, Production and Food for each adjacent Fishing Boat, and can be improved through further tech research later in the game. Special ability: Great Nusantara. Indonesia’s uniqueability will cause coastal tiles to provide minor adjacency bonuses for certain districts, while Entertainment Complexes will also grant an extra Amenity if they are adjacent to a coastal tile that isn’t a lake.Do you play on Archipelago maps? Do you like winning? Look no further.

Indonesian cities will absolutely thrive near the coast, and strong cities enable you to pursue practically any strategy. That said, you’re missing an opportunity if you don’t invest heavily in Faith: the Jong makes an ideal escort unit to spread your Missionaries all over the world for a religious win, but for the more martial-minded among you, you can invest Faith in your navy to dictate what happens on the water.Probably don’t pick Indonesia on Pangaea maps. Civilization 6 Nubia. Leader: Alexander the Great. Finally.Itdidn’t feel like Civ without Alex – he’s been in every game in the series and rightly so, as perhaps the most successful general the world had yet seen at his time. Predictably, Macedon under him is one of the strongest military civs in the entire game: his unique ability is To The World’s End, which reduces war weariness, so Macedon can stay at war for longer.

Additionally, Alex, like Teddy, has his own unique unit: the Hetairoi replaces the Horseman, and comes with a free promotion. Unique unit: Hypaspist. Macedon’s unit replaces the Swordsman and gets bonus combat strength when besieging districts, plus extra support bonuses. Unique building: Basilikoi Paides, which loosely translates to ‘royal page school’. Produces science whenever its host city trains a non-civilian unit, and gives additional bonuses when training specific military units.

Judging from the video, it looks like you can build these in encampment districts. Special ability: Hellenistic Fusion. Whenever Macedon captures a city, they get various bonuses according to the districts it has – a eureka moment toward a civic is shown as an example of this in the Macedon announcement video.Wow, that looks strong. Warmongering civs often have to stop kicking tail to catch up on science or culture, or just because of war weariness, but with Macedon and Alex, you keep your foot on the gas for waylonger. If you’re not killing everything in sight for at least as long as your UUs are relevant, you’re doing it wrong.Macedon, like Persia, were added to Civilization VI in the spring 2017 update. Check theorannouncements for more.

Civilization VI Persia. Leader: Cyrus II, also called Cyrus the Great. Through a series of brilliant campaigns and surprise invasions, Cyrus established the Achaemenid empire – the largest the world had ever seen until the conquests of Alexander the Great. His ability is Fall of Babylon, which grants bonus movement to all Persian units after declaring a surprise war. Cyrus also gets reduced diplomatic penalties for surprise wars.

The affectionate nickname for Australian troops in the 20th century, Diggers replace Infantry. They get bonus combat strength when fighting outside friendly territory, or on land tiles adjacent to water. Unique improvement: Outback Station. Unlocked with the Guilds civic, and upgraded with Steam Power and Rapid Deployment, Outback Stations provide food and production, with bonus food for adjacent pastures. In addition, new pastures will trigger a ‘culture bomb’ effect, and will steal adjacent tiles from other civs and city-states. In the video above, it looks like this will only occur when a pasture is built next to an existing Outback Station.

Special ability: Land Down Under.Cities get extra housing when built on coastal tiles, and campuses, commercial hubs, holy sites and theatre squares get additional yields when built on tiles with charming or breathtaking appeal.This is the first time are ‘officially’ added to a Civilization game.

Jadwiga also gets bonus gold, culture and faith from relic great works, and extra Holy Site adjacency bonuses. Unique unit: Winged Hussar. If it does more damage than its opponent when attacking, it pushes the enemy unit back a tile. Enemies who can’t retreat take additional damage.

Unique building: Sukiennice, or Cloth Hall. Provides bonus production from foreign trade routes, and bonus gold from domestic ones. Special ability: Golden Liberty.When you complete an encampment or fort in friendly territory, it will claim nearby tiles, evenif they belong to a rival civ.
