The most recent pack, Portugal, launched in March and introduced a new leader in Joao III, the Navigation School and Feitoria unique structures, and more. ![]() This marks the final free update of the New Frontier Pass season of Civilization VI, which began in May 2020 and included six content packs in the last 10 months. The full list of changes and more information on all new additions can be found below. The majority of the update includes balance adjustments for both maps and units, with the Melee and Heavy Cavalry seeing the most adjustments for units and Khmer, Mapuche, and Spain seeing the most map-based adjustments. ![]() If you’re playing as Portugal on TSL Earth Huge, expect to start right next to Spain. Both maps will have historically accurate types of resources and terrains, as well as True Starting Location (TSL) versions of each map where the capital of each player’s civilization sits in the actual real-world location of the city in question. More information is sure to arrive when Civilization VI’s ‘final patch’ releases on April 22nd.New locales being added include the Mediterranean Large Map - a large-scale map of the Mediterranean region - as well as the Earth Huge Map, a map that spans the entire globe. That is certainly one heck of a list and when we reached out to Kevin for a comment, he was more than happy to confirm that it would be safe to characterise this final update as ‘a chonker’.Īside from its gargantuan word-count, any further details surrounding the exact content of the list of changes itself is yet to be revealed but I am already tingling with anticipation surrounding what kinds of exciting changes they could detail. That is not all however, with the game’s associate producer Kevin Schultz taking to Twitter to proclaim that notes listing the changes in the patch were almost 4,000 words in length. It also appears that almost all of the game’s leaders will be receiving some kind of balance change, a few of which appear to be a potentially game-changing mix of substantial buffs and new abilities. This includes some of the most important, like the ability to play on a huge Earth map with leaders appearing in their historically accurate starting locations and even the addition of the heavily fan-requested trebuchet unit type. In addition to announcing the update, the short video revealed some of the content which will be coming imminently to the game. In a post to the game’s official Twitter account last week, the developers showcased some of the changes that will be coming to the game at the end of the month in what is being billed as the game’s ‘final free update.’ Whilst the post’s nebulous phrasing, particularly the emphasis on the word ‘free’, has left some room for speculation as to whether there could potentially be some more paid content in store for the game down the line, it seems unlikely. ![]() Now featuring over fifty world leaders to play as, a whole host of game modes ranging from the surprisingly strategic ‘Secret Societies’ to the unapologetically-the-top ‘Apocalypse’ modifier and even a multiplayer battle-royale component, Civilization VI can stand proudly alongside its much-loved series predecessors as a worthy successor.Īll good things must come to and end however, and with 2020-2021’s ‘New Frontier’ season pass rounding off with the recent release of March’s Portugal leader pack, it appears that content for Civilization VI is finally beginning to wind down. In addition to launching on Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS X, the game was the first in the series to be branch out to consoles, with ports now available for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and even select mobile phones.Īlthough its streamlined mechanics and almost Pixar-esque visual style was initially met with some scepticism by die-hard series fans, the entry has gradually grown in scope through a plethora of free content updates and DLC releases. Released back in 2016 Civilization VI marked a milestone in Sid Meier’s beloved turn-based strategy franchise.
