And it's the 30th anniversary of Civ 1's release. :gasp:


Wow! That's one game that had me up all night many times!

For Windows PC, if you purchase Civilization VI Anthology (or purchase all of the content that's included in it separately at any time), you'll be eligible to receive the Leader Pass for no additional charge. For Mac App Store and iOS, the Civilization VI: Leader Pass is available for individual purchase only.


If a leader is for a civ that was added via DLC, you will need that DLC, too.

Is Ludwig II the Bavarian king that built Neuschwanstein or Ludwig II "The German" who founded the Eastern Franconian Realm that eventually became called Germany?  :hmm:

Solmyr

He's under Great Builders, so I suspect the Bavarian.

Will new leaders really change or improve the game dynamics?
PDH!

Not sure. On their Steam page they also advertise Julius Caesar who you unlock when you link your 2K account with your Steam account (there's been similar schemes for getting units/leaders in Total Warhammer, IIRC).

QuoteNew Ability: Veni, vidi, vici
Receive 200 Gold whenever you conquer a city for the first time or 100 Gold when you clear a Barbarian Outpost. These Gold amounts both increase to 500 after you research Steel.

That extra gold for barbs seems a bit strong in early game? :hmm:

Yes, sounds likely.

Looks like the Leader Pass is free if you have the "Anthology" pack, which I seem to have on Steam (despite buying all the DLCs separately). Looking forward to playing Civ again with the new content. It's still a fun game.

probably because your collection is complete (as you said). Won't bet my head on it but I guess it'll register as being equal to the anthology. (When I click on the Anthology bundle in steam it says 18 out of 18, bundle complete)
