Get your first look at the upcoming Byzantium civ in Civilization VI
2K and Firaxis only just announced the new civilizations coming to Civilization VI as part of part 3 of the Frontier Pass and now they have released the first details of one of them, Byzantium, check it out.
Byzantium can subjugate enemies with religious and military might, supported by their two unique units, the Dromon Ship and the Tagma.
Byzantium’s “Taxis” ability gives units additional Combat Strength or Religious Strength for each Holy City converted to Byzantium's Religion. Byzantium's Religion spreads when an enemy unit is defeated and Cities with Holy Sites earn bonus Great Prophet points. Basil II’s “Porphyrogénnētos” ability allows Heavy and Light Cavalry units to do full damage against cities following the same religion as Byzantium, and gains the Tagma unique unit when the Divine Right civic is discovered.
The Tagma unique unit replaces the Knight and grants nearby land units additional Combat Strength or Religious Strength, while the Dromon Ship replaces the Quadrireme and has additional range and additional Combat Strength against units. His unique district is the Hippodrome, which replaces the Entertainment Complex district, is cheaper to build and provides additional Amenities. It also grants a Heavy Cavalry unit when the Hippodrome and its buildings are constructed.
Players on PC, Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will discover this new civlization when DLC Pack 3 is released on September 24 and on the same day, players will also get access to the Gaul Pack and more, check here for those details.
