Sid Meier's Civilization VI News

Two-thirds of all Civilization 6 civs will get a rebalance in the 4X game's April update

The Vietnam and Kublai Khan pack is due to drop in just a few hours, but we've already been given a glimpse as to what's coming later in the year for acclaimed 4X game Civilization VI. The latest New Frontier Pass pack is the penultimate release in this year-long run of micro-DLC packs, with the final pack due out in March.

In April, however, the developers at Firaxis have confirmed that they will be embarking on a sizable civilisation balance update. During their most recent developer livestream, they stated in chat that they plan to tackle roughly two-thirds of all of the civs currently in existence in Civ VI.

By the time the final New Frontier Pass pack releases, there'll be 50 civs in the game in total, so we can expect to see changes to between 30-35 of them based on the dev's original statement. There are plenty of Civ 6 civs that are strong across the victory types, but also plenty that aren't so good, or who don't combo that well with their respective Civ 6 leaders.

Kublai Khan reigned from 1260 to 1294 AD and created an empire that ran from the Korean Peninsula to the edges of modern-day Baghdad. He was the ruler of the Mongolian Empire and founded the Yuan Dynasty in China, serving as Emperor.

Kublai Khan’s unique ability, “Gerege,” provides one extra Economic policy slot in any government. It also grants a random Eureka and Inspiration when establishing a Trading Post in another civilization’s city for the first time.

CIVILIZATION VI - FIRST LOOK: BÀ TRIỆU OF VIETNAM

Bà Triệu, also known as Triệu Thị Trinh or Lady Triệu, fought against the occupation of northern Vietnam by the Wu Kingdom in the early 200s AD. Wearing bright golden armor and wielding a sword in each hand, she became known--and feared--as “The Lady General Clad in Golden Robe.”

[h2]Leader Unique Ability: DRIVE OUT THE AGGRESSORS[/h2]

Bà Triệu’s unique ability, “Drive Out the Aggressors,” provides additional Combat Strength for units fighting in Rainforest, Marsh, or Woods tiles; this bonus is further increased for tiles owned by Vietnam. Beginning a turn in Rainforest, Marsh, or Woods also provides additional Movement, which is also further increased for tiles owned by Vietnam.

[h2]Unique Unit: THE VOI CHIẾN[/h2]

Vietnam features the unique Medieval era ranged unit, the Voi Chiến. This unit can move after attacking and has additional Movement. It is more expensive than the Crossbowman unit it replaces, but is stronger when defending and has greater sight.

[h2]UNIQUE DISTRICT - THE THANH[/h2]

This district offers additional Culture for each adjacent district. Once Flight is researched, the district generates Tourism equal to its Culture output. It does not require Population and is cheaper to build than the Encampment district it replaces.
