Sid Meier's Civilization VI Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack

Sid Meier's Civilization VI Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack adds the Macedonian and Persian civilizations, led by Alexander and Cyrus, to Civilization VI. It also includes the “Conquests of Alexander” scenario and two Wonders: the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the Apadana.

Macedon

Macedon’s “Hellenistic Fusion” ability grants Tech or Civic Eurekas based on the Districts in a captured city. Alexander’s “To World’s End” ability greatly reduces war weariness, allowing Macedon to stay at war longer. It also provides the Hetairoi, a fast Heavy Cavalry unit that replaces the Horseman and starts with a free promotion.

The Hypaspist replaces the Swordsman, gains extra bonuses from supporting units and is stronger when besieging Districts. Macedon can build the Basilikoi Paides in any Encampment without a stable. It provides bonuses for melee, ranged land and Hetairoi units trained in that city, as well as Science whenever the city creates a non-civilian unit.

Persia

Persia’s “Satrapies” ability grants a free Trade Route when it develops Political Philosophy and improves yields from internal trade routes. Cyrus’s “Fall of Babylon” ability provides movement and yield bonuses for a short time after declaring a Surprise War, while negating some of the diplomatic penalties for doing so.

Persia’s Immortal replaces the Swordsman, has a ranged attack and is strong on defense. The Pairidaeza improvement provides Culture, Gold and Appeal, with bonus Culture or Gold for adjacent Districts and City Centers. Its yields increase as you advance through the tech and civic tree.

Conquests of Alexander

In this combat-focused scenario, you race to conquer the known world as Alexander the Great, expanding and making calculated use of your Great Generals. Higher difficulty levels give you fewer turns to complete the conquest.

Two Wonders

• Mausoleum at Halicarnassus: Grants additional bonuses from your Great Admirals and Great Engineers.
• Apadana: Provides extra Envoys each time you build a World Wonder, including the Apadana itself.
