The Civilization series is an excellent textbook on world history if you can read the footnotes and analyze the information received. And although in the course of each game you keep your own chronicle of times, the skills and characteristics of each nation are most often formed on the basis of the real deeds of its leader. Everyone knows about the opening of a window to Europe by Peter I and the conquests of Genghis Khan, but there are more unusual characters in Civilization – I will tell you about some in this article, while others are waiting for you in the game itself.

History can be interesting!

John Curtin – Leader of Australia

The word “history” mentally sends many of us to the beginning of time. Perhaps the point is in the school curriculum, because in the lower grades we begin to study it from the annals of the Ancient World. My teacher even promoted the theory of the impossibility of assessing modern events from a historical point of view, and stated that at least 150 years must pass before any individuals will be eligible to get into a textbook. Fortunately, Firaxis Games did not fall under his influence, which is why Civilization VI has quite modern leaders. One of them is John Joseph Curtin (1885-1945).

It is worth noting that in Civilization VI, Catherine has two hypostases at once. One of them is more insidious and is called the Black Queen, while the other is famous for her love of luxury and art, therefore she is known as the Magnificent. Both nicknames belong to the same woman, revealing different character traits.

If you have watched the series “Game of Thrones”, then it is not difficult to imagine what Catherine de Medici was like in the 16th century: the character of Cersei Lannister seems to have been copied from the Black Queen. She wove intrigues, was wise, did not favor her own husband too much, who reciprocated her and spent his free time with his mistresses, and, in the end, had huge problems with childbirth. Despite a stormy youth, Medici met old age peacefully: she solved problems with children with the help of court doctors and gave birth to as many as ten heirs, and met death in her own bed by the age of seventy.

Bonus of the leader of Catherine de Medici “Black Queen” – “Catherine’s Flying Squadron”:

• Has one more diplomatic visibility than usual for every civilization it knows. Receives a free spy (and an additional spy slot) after researching the Castles technology. All Spies start the game as agents with one free promotion.

Bonus of the leader of Catherine de Medici “Magnificent” – “Catherine miracles”:

• Upgraded Rare Resources near the Theater Square or Chateau gain +2 culture. Can arrange a court festival in any city with a theater square.

Historic Objectives – Black Queen and Luxurious Decoration:

• Uses as many spies and diplomatic means as he can. Dislikes civilizations that ignore espionage.
• Loves civilizations that trade luxury goods with her. Dislikes civilizations that do not provide such trade. Strives to collect as many copies of rare resources as possible.

Dido – leader of Phenicia

Carthage must be … built. So Dido once decided. And although it was precisely this act of hers that was key from the point of view of history, I was attracted to the personality of Dido because of her interesting fate. It seems to serve as a reminder that it is not enough to be smart and successful, you also need to have a stable psyche, not succumbing to momentary weaknesses on the basis of love. By the way, so many myths and legends have been laid down about Dido that it is difficult for modern people to distinguish truth from speculation.

Look

Poundmaker was born into the family of a shaman who was a professional bison breeder – an honored art of replenishment in the Indian tribes. Poundmaker inherited this gift, which in fact was rather an unusual skill of a hunter, passed down from father to son. In addition, the Indian was a good orator, thanks to which he achieved recognition in his own tribe already in childhood.

Indian tribes rarely lived in peace, fighting both with each other and with external conquerors. Poundmaker was lucky: because of his oratorical skills, he was a representative of his own community wherever possible, and was once noticed by the leader of the “Blackfeet” Crowfoot. His community was large and powerful, and negotiations with the leader could have gone very differently if Crowfoot’s wife had not seen Poundmaker. She was clearly not herself, since she had recently lost her son, and the arriving bison breeder seemed terribly similar to her. Wanting to reassure his wife, Crowfoot adopted Poundmaker, named him Thin-Legged Wolf and left him in the family, making him his closest assistant. This had a positive effect on history: the two tribes practically became related and ended armed conflicts with each other.

Although the first significant alliance with the Blackfeet was concluded in a rather unconventional way, Poundmaker continued the unification with traditional methods and realized himself in negotiations, and also paid a lot of attention to trade. Poundmaker made mutually beneficial deals and thus slowly but surely reconciled the Indians with each other. Foreign policy was a little worse for him: the battles with the American cavalry did not always end happily. In 1885, the Indians and a detachment of Canadian Colonel William Otter clashed in a heated battle for territory, as a result of which Poundmaker’s men took over, but he himself was eventually sentenced to several years in prison, accused of treason. The shameful stigma was removed only posthumously.

Leader’s Bonus – “Favorable Conditions”:

• All alliances provide collective visibility.
• Trade routes give +1 food at the start point and +1 gold at the end point for each camp and pasture at the destination.

Historic Target – “Iron Confederation”:

• He tries to make as many alliances as possible and respects those who do the same.

Seondok is the leader of Korea

Seondok is the first reigning queen in the history of Korea, who ruled from 632–647. It is believed that she ascended the throne due to her father’s absence of sons, but at the same time King Jinpyeong chose her and taught her on his own, seeing suitable leadership qualities and, most importantly, a clear mind.
