Civilization 6 released the New Frontier Pass in May, which will deliver six DLC packs total, with one releasing every two months. The packs include new civilizations, buildings, districts, game modes and much more. As the second DLC pack is getting ready to release, an exclusive bonus will come along with it for owners of The New Frontier Pass.
The Ethiopia Pack releases on July 23rd and will add the Ethiopian civilization to the game, as well as a new game mode, a new district, and two unique buildings. The exclusive New Frontier Pass bonus will also add two new personas for leaders of powerhouse nations. Both Teddy Roosevelt of America and Catherine De Medici of France will have alternate personas with different abilities that will be sure to add a few twists to Civilization 6 strategies.
Teddy Roosevelt is one of the most powerful leaders in Civilization 6. America excels at building culture and military and receives bonuses when fighting on their home continent. Rough Rider Teddy Roosevelt is the alternate persona with a new abilities and also a new western cowboy outfit and new background. Rough Rider Teddy still receives a +5 combat strength boost when fighting on his home continent, but also gets two envoys with city-states he has a trade route with. This encourages diplomacy with city-states and is a great way to earn envoy bonuses and become a city-state's Suzerain quickly.
Catherine De Medici's alternate persona brings culture and tourism to France like never before. Magnificence Catherine appears with a fancy masquerade mask and focuses on building up luxury resources. Her Court Festival Project enables a theater district bonus of culture and tourism based on the excess copies of luxury resources for France. Players who enjoy going for Cultural Victory may want to try out Magnificence Catherine and hoard luxury resources for giant culture bonuses.
Both Rough Rider Teddy and Magnificence Catherine have interesting abilities and focuses that will change gameplay for their civilizations. Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Rider unit and new envoy ability make it easy to build a large civilization without fear of an overpowered invasion. Catherine De Medici's newfound love for luxury resources will enable players to earn culture and tourism at an alarming rate and will make settling around luxury resources a necessity.
Players are already forming their game plan for the new personas. The New Frontier Pass will also introduce Ethiopia and a new game mode so there will be plenty of new features and gameplay to try on July 23rd. As the New Frontier Pass keeps releasing DLC packs bimonthly, players are in for a ton of new content for Civilization 6.
