1. Alexander - To The World's End [24]
3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [21]
4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra [24]
6. Cyrus - Fall of Babylon [20] 19+1 At this stage of voting Cyrus is below 20, it is an absurd. +2 movement on demand - I don't like Persia except civ4, I hate immortals in civ6, but this ability is fantastic
7. Dido - Founder of Carthage [9]

36. Seondeok - Hwarang [0] 3-3 BYE BYE 6-9% boost to science/culture in 3-4 cities? How did it survive so long? I would rather trade 20 iron for a luxury for better effect by rising ammenities

3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [21]
4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra [24]
6. Cyrus - Fall of Babylon [20]
7. Dido - Founder of Carthage [9]
8. Eleanor of Aquitaine - Court of Love [11]=14-3 People talk about more cities = more theatres = more tourism, but before you take over your opponent's cities, you need a certain amount of great works yourself. Eleanor has no upper hand in getting great people than any other leaders. Even if I want to play a Cultural Alexander, it will still be a better game than this pseudo-domination/culture because I can actually take matter into my own hand. Literally worthless in multiplayer cuz humans are so much more adept at dealing/alleviating loyalty pressure.

19. John Curtin - Citadel of Civilization [21]
20. Kristina - Minerva of the North [29]
23. Mansa Musa - Sahel Merchants 18 [17+1] Having trade routes for 40+ at the same stage you would have +6 for other leaders and bonus routes to boot is amazing. 1500+ GPT at the same stage another Civ would be lucky to have 150. This ability synergizes with Mali's other abilities better than all the other abilities by far.
24. Matthias Corvinus - Raven King [27]
25. Montezuma - Gifts for the Tlatoani [23]
29. Pericles - Surrounded by Glory [23]
33. Qin Shi Huang - The First Emperor 26 [29-3] I know many of you love this one, but I feel the need to express my view of how over-rated it is. Sure it's fun building early wonders, but to get the most out of them you have to start on a desert world (which would be fantastic if Nazca is in the game, but that is a crap shoot) The AIs still build a few early wonders before you can get your second builder up AND this ability will not work on the one wonder it is really needed for outside of Stonehenge that being Machu Pichu. If it worked on that then I wouldn't be voting this down until later if at all.

33. Qin Shi Huang - The First Emperor [27] (26+1) It's the extra builder charge that makes this amazing. Which incidentally is not replaced by a governor or policy, it's further boosted by those things. According to my hall of fame, the unit I make the most of is Builder. A power that buffs builders buffs the unit I build the most of. Build build build build build build build build

43. Victoria - Pax Britannica [17]
44. Wilfrid Laurier - The Last Best West [12] (15 - 3) So this turns Tundra and Snow from absolute garbage to just enough to scrape by on. Not really screaming at me to settle here over somewhere more equatorial.

8. Eleanor of Aquitaine - Court of Love [8] 11-3. The effect of CoL is pure cheese, however some problems: it takes a LONG time to set up, it's one of the few abilities that gets worse if certain key Civs (Greece, Russia, Kongo) are in the game and its effect is insignificant on maps that are of large and huge size. I won domination as Eleanor on a huge map, but I still had to fiddle around a lot to peacefully flip my allies' capital cities. Abilities whose usefulness is dependent on what map you're play on shouldn't finish near the top of this ranking game.

25. Montezuma - Gifts for the Tlatoani [24] (23+1) +1 Strength from luxuries may not seem that strong but with clever expansion it can snowball easily into a + 5-7 advantage that will stick around for most of the game. Part of the reason why the Aztecs are one of the best designed Civilization 6 civs imo.

11. Genghis Khan - Mongol Horde [18] 21-3 currently downvoting abilities that are straight up worse than others. +3 strength for horsies vs +3 for all units from Cathrine. Also cathrine would be a way better leader for the mongols. Probably the strongest of all. +12 strength for all units of all ages.

Why am downvoting Barbarossa nie after upvoting him few days prior? Because I believed his ability was better than several other contenders then and I don't think so now. Yes, it is nice you get additional policy card, but it is od the least useful type. There is also another inherent problem - if you wanna go military heavy, you will take military governments which have a ton of mil card slots anyway. If you wanna peace and take peaceful government, then value of mil cards falls dramatically. It's catch 22. You could also say that this ability doesn't really offer anything unique, new or radically altering gameplay (every civ has access to mil cards after all).

Eleanor - yes it may be difficult to utilize but this ability is so gamechanging and potentially powerful I don't think it should go already.

11. Genghis Khan - Mongol Horde [18]
13. Gitarja - Exalted Goddess of the Three Worlds [24]
14. Gorgo - Thermopylae [11] 10 + 1 pretty significant culture boost when you need it the most. And no one says you have to stop killing units, though the early game is where it shines. Not the best, but certainly better than Wilfred ability. I like how it works thematically and in character to Spartan image. Nice contrast to Pericles.

24. Matthias Corvinus - Raven King [24] = 27 - 3 Very risky as the ai loves to horde envoys and dump them into your city states when attacked. Also requires significant gold investment to work.

19. John Curtin - Citadel of Civilization [21]
20. Kristina - Minerva of the North [26] (29 - 3) Its unfortunate that culture victory is more about spamming improvements than building wonders and gathering works. If the culture game were changed this would be an amazing ability. Instead 2-3 seaside resorts or ski resorts is the same amount of tourism generation gained from a themed museum.

9. Frederick Barbarossa - Holy Roman Empire [5] = 4 + 1 I don't play peaceful as Aztecs or Macedon , etc. Why would I play peaceful with an extra military card and a huge combat bonus against CS? With buffed CS, a combat bonus is *more* impactful, not less.

44. Wilfrid Laurier - The Last Best West [10] (9+1) I'll throw this one a single bone. None of Canada's abilities are individually powerful but they synergize well, and being able to back-fill the tundra which nobody else can after you've forward settled your enemies is part of that glue.

20. Kristina - Minerva of the North [23] 26 - 3 - What am I missing? I don't understand why this is so high. Theming wonders are nice but relatively minor tourism boost. Theming museums - especially archaeological ones - is not that difficult as is, if annoying because of the atrocious great works UI (let us filter/organize by building type at least please). I'm not sure 'saves me from dealing with bad UI' is quite enough to warrant votes.
23. Mansa Musa - Sahel Merchants [18]
24. Matthias Corvinus - Raven King [24]
25. Montezuma - Gifts for the Tlatoani [26] 25 + 1 - I'll give this one a vote as well. Extra strength from luxuries, and those luxuries spread farther, helping you keep your large empire happy.

35. Saladin - Righteousness of the Faith [19]

4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra [24]
6. Cyrus - Fall of Babylon [20]
7. Dido - Founder of Carthage [6]
8. Eleanor of Aquitaine - Court of Love [6] (9-3) I maintain that this actively hinders your winning, and is easily the worst ability listed here.
9. Frederick Barbarossa - Holy Roman Empire [5]
11. Genghis Khan - Mongol Horde [15]
13. Gitarja - Exalted Goddess of the Three Worlds [24]
14. Gorgo - Thermopylae [11]
15. Harald Hardrada - Thunderbolt of the North [27]
16. Hojo Tokimune - Divine Wind [22] (21+1) Great ability that helps with district production of three different districts, and gives bonus strength. Extremely versatile and potent for all victory types.

16. Hojo Tokimune - Divine Wind [22]
17. Jadwiga - Lithuanian Union [7-3=4] - Poland is a Civ with probably the largest collection of bonuses, and this collection works great united together and can be very strong. On their own, however, the bonuses are not that amazing. When split into unique units, unique infrastructure, civ ability and leader ability, I think this comes out as the weakest of the Polish set.

8. Eleanor of Aquitaine - Court of Love [3] (6-3) I strongly believe the time for this one has come, I've provided enough reasoning in my previous posts.
9. Frederick Barbarossa - Holy Roman Empire [6] (5+1) +1 Military Policy slot is great, and will be even better with the improved Veterancy card.

7. Dido - Founder of Carthage [6]
8. Eleanor of Aquitaine - Court of Love [3]
9. Frederick Barbarossa - Holy Roman Empire [0] (3-3) Bye bye! Only great for those who do a lot of fighting. Just okay for the rest of us.
