Description: Alexander leads Macedon and Cyrus leads
Persia in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI! Macedon’s abilities will let you
conquer the whole world, and Persia can grow rich and cultured, or
launch surprise invasions with incredible ease. These historical
adversaries are paired well together, and feature in the new “Conquests
of Alexander” scenario. Can you determine the fate of the Near East, and
the course of history?
Includes the Macedonian civilization with Alexander the Great, the
Hypaspist unique unit, and the Basilikoi Paides unique building:
- Civ Unique Ability: The “Hellenistic Fusion” ability gives
Macedon Tech or Civic Eurekas depending on what Districts are present in
a captured city.
- Leader Unique Ability: Alexander’s “To World’s End” ability
lets Macedon stay at war longer by greatly reducing war weariness. He
also gives Macedon the Hetairoi: a fast Heavy Cavalry unit that starts
with a free promotion, which replaces the Horseman.
- Unique Unit: The Hypaspist replaces the Swordsman, gets extra bonuses from supporting units, and is stronger at besieging Districts.
- Unique Building: The Basilikoi Paides can be built in any
Encampment that doesn’t have a stable. It provides bonuses for all
melee, ranged land, and Hetairoi trained in the city. It also provides
some science anytime a non-civilian unit is created in the city.
Also includes the Persian civilization with Cyrus, the Immortal unique unit, and the Pairidaeza unique improvement:
- Civ Unique Ability: The “Satrapies” ability gives Persia a
free Trade Route when they develop Political Philosophy, and enhanced
yields from their internal trade routes.
- Leader Unique Ability: Cyrus has the “Fall of Babylon”
ability, giving movement and yield bonuses for a short time after
declaring a Surprise War, and negating some of the diplomatic penalties
of declaring a Surprise War too.
- Unique Unit: Persia’s unique unit is the famous Immortal.
This Swordsman replacement gets a bonus ranged attack, and is very
strong on defense.
- Unique Improvement: The Pairidaeza provide Culture, Gold, and
Appeal, as well as bonus Culture or Gold for adjacent Districts and
City Centers. Over time, they’ll provide even more yields as you advance
through the tech & civic tree.
New “Conquests of Alexander” Scenario:
- Race against time to prove yourself as great a conqueror as
Alexander the Great! This scenario is focused on combat, expansion, and
the calculated use of your Great Generals.
- As you increase the difficulty, you have fewer and fewer turns in
which to conquer the known world, providing a real challenge for
military strategists.
Two New Wonders:
- Mausoleum at Halicarnassus: One of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World returns to Civilization. The Mausoleum allows you to get
additional bonuses from your Great Admirals and Great Engineers.
- Apadana: The Persians were famous for their audience halls,
and the best example was found in Persepolis. This Wonder provides extra
Envoys every time you build a World Wonder – including the Apadana!
