![]() Also one the really interesting things about this expansion was learning about all the new leaders, and wow did Eleanor live a life, and then some. I think Eleanor is a fantastic choice in the game, and frankly, it makes sense that she could be used as a leader for both England and France. I know that having leaders that were not actually the official de jure ruler of the civilization is frustrating for some, and I do see why. Also, there is a lot of work setting up cities on your border with Great Work slots, so it will be interesting to see how well it all works practically. Which probably makes Eleanor one of the more generalist leaders in the game. However, more cities tend to be good cities, or at least denying a competitor an advantage. This means that you can go straight to pushing out loyalty pressure for your new city right away, and not have to deal with another civ sniping it away from you, or the free city units messing with your stuff.Īt the moment, you would think that Eleanor would play more into France’s bonuses because you can get some of those big Great Work holding Wonders up. This in itself is a really cool power ( and maybe explains England’s redesign, bye bye the British Museums), however, the cherry is that if you do knock a city off, it goes straight to you with no Free City period. So you can use Great Works to push disloyalty on neighbouring civ’s cities. Whichever one you do pick, her bonus is the same, but what a bonus it is. Of course, the first thing is that you can use Eleanor when playing as both England and France, and indeed, they even made different character models depending on which civ you pick. Well, today we get something a little different with a leader that is an alternative for not one but two civilisations, and it works, both from a game and history perspective. ![]() It seems that Firaxis mostly intent to leave this to the mod community. Indeed, the way the bonuses are set up it allows you the ability to mix and match, for example, are you going to have a more cultural game with Pericles or a more warlike game with Gorgo? However, while this is a good idea, it has not been explored all that much in the base game with only two sets of dual leaders. If a city leaves a civilizastion and Eleanor is the the Civ with the most loyalty pressure the city skips the Free City phase.įrom the start of Civilization 6, it has been kind of cool to have the idea of multiple leaders for civilizations all with their different bonuses. Leader Bonus: Court of Love – Great works in Eleanor’s cities leads to a loyalty deficient in other civilization cities withing 9 tiles. I just don't know.Civilization Leader: Eleanor of Aquitaine Hell, he may even turn out to be a secret Byzantine alternative leader as well as Norwegian. My best guess is he may get extra bonuses from fighting joint wars, maybe he'll get diplomatic bonuses for selling units to other players. Harald Hardrada (Varangian): Honestly, Varangian Harald feels like a bit of an enigma, as I'm not sure how the game would replicate his time as a mercenary. Maybe cities will get bonus science and production from being directly connected to your capital by railroads, and trade routes provide extra gold and production for crossing railroads. ![]() Victoria (Age of Steam): Seeing as England has coal, iron, and military engineer bonuses that have been under utilised so far, I'd say Steampunk Vicky will be a late game scientific and production powerhouse through the use of railroads. Maybe envoys or diplomatic favour every time she gets one and having grievances others have of her decay faster if you have a trade route with them, allowing you more room to be combative while still playing diplomatically. ![]() Therefore, to create her own niche, I'd say Lizzie will most likely be a diplomatic leader with bonuses to recruiting multiple Great Admirals and trade routes to get more from the UD. With one Leader Pack left before Civ 6 is most likely complete, I'm wondering what you, the good people of this Reddit, think will be the last three leader abilities of Elizabeth, Varangian Harald and Steampunk Victoria.Įlizabeth I: Lizzie is a difficult one as her legacy of spycraft, Shakespeare, and colonisation are already covered by other leaders.
