Civ VI Leader Pass 2

[Xandinho]

I honestly loved her ability in Civ V and would love a straight up migration. I loved picking off all those lame city states with my endless supply of children.

If I were to give her an ability, it would be receiving influence points from alliances. Maybe +2 influence points for each alliance? I think it would be appropriate for her. That way she could form alliances with everyone and become suzerain of as many smaller states as she can.

Edit. By the way, there's an excellent mod of her on Steam, and it comes with her Civ5 animations. It's so good that I don't even ask Austria in my civs requests for another pass anymore.

Ooooh what's the mod?

The only way to improve her UA would be to give me an actual princeling or princess unit (in full wedding garb) to scamper about on the map and marry the city state of my choosing.

If Maria Theresa was included as the German leader, wouldn't that bring some annoyance to Austrian players?

I just want her in the game somehow so I personally wouldn't mind, but I'm not Austrian so I don't know how many would.

Honestly my ideal pack would be an Italian Civilization, Maria Theresa as a leader (either Austria, or a possible dual one for Germany/Hungary), and an Opera House universal building.

It's a Civitas mod by Deliverator using assets converted from Civ 5.

I honestly loved her ability in Civ V

I too! I once played with her in giant earth on civ5, I remember to start in Rio Grande do Sul (in South America) and spread my cities all over the globe, because her marriage alliance ability make it very easy to grab other cities. But I think it is a bit over power ability because is too easy to grab cities with marriage, you just to need to wait 10 turns after become suzerain, and in civ 5 is possible to become suzerain with money, so I just invest in money and purchase cities all around the globe, and not small cities as settles one, no, it was great city states with infantary and etc.

Maria Theresa as a leader (either Austria, or a possible dual one for Germany/Hungary)

Since civ6 don't will add more civilizations, it's impossible to she become leader of Austria.
Should be fun have Maria Theresa as leader of Hungary, despite I think the civ of Hungary is made about other historical period to fit better in Hungarian narrative of history. And German should be very weird if she leads off, mostly because she lived in a time before Germany, of course there was already a concept of Germany, and a willigness to do a Germany country, but Maria Theresa's Austria was out of Prussian's plans of Germany in the end, so she never leads Germany.

But, if Ana Nzinga is leading Kongo... I don't will be surprise if Maria Theresa appears leading Germany....

About the same level of annoyance that happens when any civilisation gets a female leader, wasting a precious slot that could have been given to a more recognisable man.

Also, I’m think I might genuinely hate the term “historical nerd” because it’s trotted out every time they have the nerve to have a woman lead a civilisation.

You don’t have to have ruled a people to have shaped their destiny, and one of the great joys this series has given me is being able to read about the women of history who managed to great things in the world. This community has a way of draining a lot of that joy.

With love, a tired Civ playing woman

(This is not directed at you, dear quoted person! Or anyone really, just general venting)

That's also my read - while Maria Theresa won't be opposed so much *for* being a woman, I'd expect Maria Theresa leading Germany to get some opposition, from some Austrian, but not much more than any other leader, and probably less than series stalwarts Cleo and Gandhi.

What the problem with female leaders? I like female leaders and I think we should choice womens when it's possible.

Maria Theresa is a good choice to lead Austria, or the Holly Roman Empire, but not Germany.

 

[Evie]

...provided one is stuck on the idea Germany did not exist before 1870, which is false.

That's what she's saying.

We can’t have a pack about Roman Leaders without including Augustus Ceasar!

Given he literally reinvented Rome and saved it from itself, and given the very long shadow Rome cast over all of Europe for millenia after it’s fall, he needs to be in it.

Charlemagne should have it's own civ. Maybe the Franks or the Holy Roman Empire. and Maria Theresa should lead Austria.
I think just Bismarck can leads Germany, since the concept of Germany is a very modern one.
By the way it was a very bad choice Barbarrosa as lead of Germany.
What can be cool is choice Frederick the great to leads Prussia, not Germany.

Argh there is a Prussian civ mod for Civ6, but it isn’t updated for GS.

It finally, FINALLY gives a German civ the correct UU.

Being of Prussian descent I wish it was playable

To play as, yes. I hate espionage in both Civ5 and Civ6 so extra and early spies does nothing for me. Even if I find her festival project too expensive to be worth bothering with, her extra Culture from luxuries is far more bonus to me than her spy mechanics. To play against, I much prefer the Black Queen. (Though I do love the gold-and-white color scheme they gave Magnificence Catherine, even if it's apropos of nothing.) In Civ7, though, if they want a black queen figure, I'd highly recommend Wu Zetian fill the role (even if she's returning last-minute for Civ6).

It’s a stupid gamey cartoony gimmick. I modded it out as soon as I could, along with the leaders based around it.

Which left room to add Napoleon and other better leaders for France

As I've said before, may Napoleon not return for another ten editions of Civ.

Damn strong feelings!!!!

Philip Augustus is much better if you want a military leader for France.

 

[Zaarin]

Philip Augustus is much better if you want a military leader for France.

He's my second choice for France after Henri IV.

Damn strong feelings!!!!

France is swimming in so many good leader choices, but it's always Napoleon with a side of Louis XIV.

 

[Evie]

I want Richelieu for france (but not in VI where he’d just compete with black queen CdM).

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

Considering Persia got Nader Shah, the first ever acknowledgment of post-Achaemenid Persian history, I think it's high time Egypt got similarly treated. Muhammad Ali could be a good alternative leader. I would also suggest Baybars of the Mamluk Sultanate, but it would be weird having both him and Saladin in the same game. Also, if Nader Shah can lead Persia, can't Saladin do the same for Egypt?

 

[FishFishFish]

Islamic and pre-Islamic Persia have a level of cultural continuity that Islamic and pre-Islamic Egypt do not.

If Arabia gets an Umayyad/Abbasid leader in Civ 7 I could maybe see a separate Fatimid/Ayyubid/Mamluk/etc Civ. But since Saladin is currently leading Arabia, I don't think Civ 6 is the place for it.
