Unique Infrastructure: Colonial Square; It works the same as a city-center, only it can't produce districts.

Unique District: Carving House - Replaces Industrial Zone. Slightly more expensive than a normal industrial zone, but can be built on a water tile, and gives +1 production to every sea resource in the city. This bonus is doubled when you build a workshop.

Leader Agenda: Diplomatic Recognition - Wants to have a delegation with every Civ, and is much more open to accepting delegations. Doesn't like civs that refuse diplomatic actions from him.

Leader 3: Marama (Easter Islanders)
Leader Ability: Stone Heads - Can build the Moai infrastructure. Clearing features doesn't cost builder charges and gives faith.
Leader Infrastructure: Moai - Grants culture. After flight, generates tourism, but you cannot build anymore. Must be built on the coast or next to a quarry. Requires masonry.
Leader Agenda: Grand Builders - Wants to build as much Moai as possible. Dislikes civs who settle cities where he could build lots of Moai.

 

[Morningcalm]

So many good ideas and so little time to comment! Interesting to note how much interest there is in representing the Maori, Mali, Portugal and various Italian factions.

Parent post updated with a badass alternate female Mayan queen (yet another warrior queen, and this one held the title of "supreme warrior") and some more details about Zenobia. Also modified some abilities slightly. One day, when work becomes faster, I will be able to conceptualize the other leaders mentioned in my parent post, though I think Hayam Wuruk and other Majapahit leaders are well-served by other contributors in this thread.

Spoiler :

Faction Unique Bonus: Kingdom of the Holy Lands - Captured cities automatically gain your founded religion as their majority religion. Siege equipment are 33% more effective vs. cities with a different majority religion.

[altayrneto]

Spoiler Mayan Civilization :

Started thinking about this today and figured I'd post it!
The Maya

Civ Icon: The day sign Ahau, a word that also means "lord" or "king."
Civ Ability: Ah Nab
Additional Diplomatic Policy Slot. Can purchase cultural buildings with faith.

Spoiler :

Ah Nab, meaning something like "Waterlily People," was a term referring to Maya nobility as a whole, particularly those lords of lower status than the king. They were the priests, artisans, and bureaucrats of the Maya city states and blood of city life. As for the ability itself, the Maya gain an extra diplomatic slot to deal with city states and the ability to use faith for building purchases similar to the Jesuit Education follower belief.

Unique District: Tun Witz
Replaces the Holy Site. +1 culture if adjacent to a Theater Square district. +1 science if adjacent to a Campus district.

Spoiler :

Tun Witz is the Classic Maya term for a temple, literally meaning "Stone Mountain." Stelae were sometimes placed in plazas near the temple as a metaphorical stone forest at the base of the stone mountain. I imagine these kinds of plazas would make for a visually interesting district. In terms of abilities, the Tun Witz represents the astronomical and cultural practices associated with Maya structures.

Unique Unit: Ahauob
Unique melee unit unlocked with Early Empire. 25 strength. 2 movement. Faith from kills. Extra strength vs. city state units.

Spoiler :

Ahauob is a word referring to a group of lesser nobles underneath the king, much like Ah Nab. Classic era Maya warfare was predominantly the realm of the nobility who would make war with nobility from other cities of the region. Nobles captured during such conflict were the primary victims of sacrifice, which is represented here by the faith bonus. The city state bonus refers to Maya warfare being practiced between different city states.

Leader: Siyah K'ak'
Capital: Tikal
Ability: Star Wars
Whenever you capture a city state you have not previously captured, you may choose to release the city state to gain 3 envoys with the city state and remove 1 envoy from every other civ.
Agenda: Ch'ul Ahau
Likes leaders who conquer city states. Dislikes leaders who are suzerain to city states.

Spoiler :

Not exactly the most Maya choice, but an interesting figure nonetheless. Siyah K'ak', sometimes called "Fire is Born," was a warlord in the late 4th century C.E. who conquered Tikal and proceeded to drastically expand Tikal's sphere of influence in what is now Guatemala. He likely originated from the Central Mexican city of Teotihuacan.
"Star Wars" refer to major wars between cities that often resulted in the replacement of dynasties. It also makes for a fun ability name! Siyah K'ak' performed such star wars against Tikal's enemies such as Uaxactun and Copan, installing dynasties under Tikal's control. Here that is reflected by the ability to reduce opponent civ's influence within a city state while greatly boosting your own, even becoming suzerain if unopposed. It only works on the first capture of a city state however and can not be repeated in the same city state.
"Ch'ul Ahau" meaning "holy lord" and referring to very powerful Maya kings with significant influence. Siyah K'ak' would ideally advocate aggression towards city states and dislike suzerains, unless those suzerains are him of course!
Appearance wise, Stela 32 from Tikal depicts a Teotihuacan-style person. Perhaps not Siyah K'ak' himself, but possible inspiration for his visuals.

The Maya were my favorite in civ 5 and I've become very interested in Maya history and archaeology, perhaps in some part from my time spent with civ5. As such, I eagerly await their inclusion into civ6 but just for fun I designed a Maya civ on my own. It was only later that I realized my agenda matched with Morningcalm's version of the Maya! I'm not too happy with the Civ Ability but I haven't yet thought of something more interesting for that part of the civ.

I really like your idea for the Maya! These are some of my ideas for other Mayan leaders:

Leader: Yohl Ik'nal

Capital: Palenque
Leader Ability: First Queen of Lakam Ha
Receive a free extra spy. Can build military land units 10% faster when other civilization denunces her, and 30% when declares war against her.
Leader Agenda: Heart of the Wind Place
Dislikes expansionist leaders with great military.

Leader: Pakal, the Great

Capital: Palenque
Leader Ability: Temple of the Inscriptions
Districts and Wonders requires less production to be built if adjacent to Rainforest tiles.
Leader Agenda: Sun Shield
Likes civilizations with less culture and faith. Dislikes the ones with more.

 

[RageAmp]

Leader: Vladimir Lenin
Civ Ability - Mother Russia
Gain extra territory when they found their cities, and extra faith and production from tundra tiles.
Leader Ability - February Revolution
Upon reaching a new tier of government, you gain an extra civic slot of your choice. Every time you switch your government, your cities fall under anarchy for every extra civic slot you have from this ability.
Unique Unit - Proletariat
Builder Replacement that gives one production on any tile improvements made by it.

 

[MrStrategyGamer]

Leader: Otto Von Bismark
Leader Ability: Blood and Iron, +5 combat strength when fighting other Civilizations, double adjacency bonus from mines
Leader Agenda: Concert of Europe, Hates civilizations who fight uneven wars, Likes civilizations who fight even wars
Unique Unit: Panzer, 1 more movement than the normal Tank, starts with 1 more movement on open terrain
Country: Germany
Color: Brown Exterior, I have seen brown being used for Imperial Germany

I feel that, when compared to other civs, it is quite equal.

 

[fcpureza]

After some thought, I think that Argentina could be a nice add-on to the game.

ARGENTINA

Leader: Juan Manuel de Rosas


President of Argentina Confederation and Governor of Buenos Aires, Rosas was a important figure in Argentinan History. He's known as a historical model for the 'Caudillo' in Platinian America (the regions that are around "rio del Plata"). Nationalist and interventionist, ruthless and diplomatic, Rosas is an ambigue historical figure who could add up much in terms of gameplay.

Leader Ability: 'El caudillo'. Any Hacienda district occupied by a military unit provides bonus +1 in culture and +1 amennities in the capital (Buenos Aires).
Leader Agenda: 'Rule of Mar del Plata'. Dislikes civs who establish sea trade routes with them. Likes civs who have strong navies.
Unique Unit: 'Gaucho'. Gauchos are the unique cavalry for Argentina. Cheaper to build than regular cavalry and gains +10 attack bonus whenever is adjacent to Hacienda or Pasture tiles.
Unique District: Hacienda. Substitute 'farm', providing extra defensive bonus for units.

Gameplay: Rosas is more a defensive player. It will be a tough nut to crack to destroy its defenses and his isolationist agenda can creates attrition with expansionist civs. His focus on agriculture and horsemen help to develop a rural but strong civilization.

 

[KindRevy]

Kingdom of Croatia was a smaller Kingdom in Europe from 8th century to 11th century. Soon it became a part of Kingdom of Hungary and in the future part of Austrian Empire. Kingdom of Croatia played a huge role in defense from Mongols and Turks . For 200 years Turks were fighting on its land and never managed to fully capture it. When Mongols attacked Hungary , they were only stopped when they reached city of Trogir and his famous walls. In its history , Croatia fought many defensive wars and came on top of each one. Croatia was a target for its rich coast and trade centers in history , they fought Venice for hundred of years to regain control of the coast

Leader : Nikola Šubić Zrinski , famous Croatian general who was most known for his famous last stand at the battle of Szigetvár where he refused to surrender to Turkish forces and delt a major blow to their forces. Turkish forces had 100 000 soldiers on their side while Nikola had only 4000 , he still managed to kill 20 000 - 30 000 Turks before loosing the siege.

Historical Agenda - Traders Heaven Likes Civs who have a good trade route network and income
Civilization Ability - Croatian Spirit When not in a war , your empire gets +1 movement point for all units and +1 builder action , when in a defensive war you get +2 housing and +2 amenity points in ONLY first 3 cities
Leader Ability - Bonus 10 combat strenght for all units when fighting within frendly borders
Unique Unit - Croat Famous Croatian gunpowder unit , first ever unit in history to have a tie. Replaces Rifleman , improved healing outside frendly borders
Unique Building - Croatian Walls - Replaces 2nd tier walls, bonus defense and offense stats , built faster if you have a source of stone near a city where you build them

 

[Morningcalm]

cjm81499, I like the suggestion for a Jerusalem quite a bit (esp. since Baldwin is one of my favorite lesser-known figures from history). It would be cool to see a teenage Baldwin with only some signs of leprosy, perhaps around the time he defeated Saladin. But I see little chance of Jerusalem making it into the game proper--unlike Venice or Genoa, Jerusalem never had an empire so a city list would be a bit tricky unless we included all the Crusader cities and made an Outremer like civ perhaps.

Spoiler Mayan Civilization :

I really like your idea for the Maya! These are some of my ideas for other Mayan leaders:

Leader: Yohl Ik'nal

Capital: Palenque
Leader Ability: First Queen of Lakam Ha
Receive a free extra spy. Can build military land units 10% faster when other civilization denunces her, and 30% when declares war against her.
Leader Agenda: Heart of the Wind Place
Dislikes expansionist leaders with great military.

Not sure if Yohl Ik'nal is a good leader choice for a female Maya queen. What little we know of her includes details of her city (Palenque) being sacked....she didn't long outlive the sack either.

Also, what do we know of her that indicates she was involved with spies? We just know so little about her. The denounce ability will also likely see very little use in multiplayer. Pacal with his Sun shield agenda seems much better thematically and we know a great deal more about him (though I'm tired of seeing him as the Mayan leader as he's been in both IV and V).

That said, I like your idea for Pacal's ability name and the ability itself, though it does mirror Brazil's jungle bonus quite closely.

 

[DefiantMars]

Polynesia

Civilization Ability: Wayfarers - Polynesian naval and embarked units get +1 sight. Whenever you uncover a new water tile, you get culture. If it is a tile no one has discovered, you get faith. Whenever you discover a new continent, gain great prophet points.
Unique Unit: War Canoe - Replaces the galley. It costs less, has +1 movement and can enter oceans, but is slightly weaker.
Unique District: Carving House - Replaces Industrial Zone. Slightly more expensive than a normal industrial zone, but can be built on a water tile, and gives +1 production to every sea resource in the city. This bonus is doubled when you build a workshop.

I really like the ideas here, ButtersLeopold. However, I do have a few comments.

Wayfarers is incredibly modular which is good, because if you're focusing on water gameplay, it kind of needs something to make it more potent. I really enjoy the exploration bent of the ability.

The War Canoe enables both offensive and exploratory paths which can synergize well with any of the leader options.

The problem with your wording on the Carving House is that it goes against the way that Unique Districts currently work. As of now, all UDs cost less (50% Production, I think?) not more. That aside, being able to build it on a coast tile like a harbor could make sense with a good graphic.

 

[AessaSH]

MALAY​

---------- CIVILIZATION ABILITY ----------​

Laksamana
+0.5 Great Admiral point for Districts built adjacent to Coast, except Harbor. Creates a Copy of each unique Military Naval Unit you currently possess after recruiting or patronizing an Admiral.

Alternative Chinese civilization:

Civilization Unique Ability: Food for the People
Citizens who work on farm tiles do not require amenity. +1 faith for a city if it has at least 1 citizens working on farms. +1 additional faith for a city if it has at least 3 citizens working on farms.
(Having ones own farm and being able to feed his family was basically the ideal life for ancient Chinese for thousands of years. Farming is an important part of the culture, and Chinese folk religion as well.)

Civilization Unique Infrastructure: Great Wall
Unlocked with masonry and becomes obsolete with civil engineering. Each great wall tile has its own sight and can spot enemies within 3 tiles (Watchtower). Chinese units can move along the great wall neglecting terrain costs for movement, range units neglect height difference when firing on great wall, and receive +4 defense bonus when defending. Great wall can only be built as a line.(So AI won't build a ugly cluster of them anymore) The longest continuous great wall in your land provides tourism equal to its length after Flight.(There are actually many great walls in China, but people only go see the longest/greatest one). When pillaged it takes a charge to repair, and after becoming obsolete, great wall tile will be destroyed directly when pillaged but if pillaged by a hostile civilization, the civilization receives extra warmonger penalty for doing so. (For destroying cultural heritage.)
(This should make great wall relevant again)

Civilization Unique Unit: Corvée Worker
Unlocked with State Workforce and becomes obsolete after entering industrial era. Has 3 charges and is cheaper than builder. Can build farm, road, great wall and fort with relative technology.
(Ancient Chinese emperor often force farmers to become corvée worker to serve in the frontier as military engineering builders and some other duties. Notably, Qin Shi Huang does this a LOT)

Aixin-Jueluo Xuanye
