In vanilla Civilization VI, only the Greeks had more than one leader (either Pericles or Gorgo). Some leaders' unique abilities allow them to unlock unique units, buildings, tile improvements or projects after researching specific technologies or civics.
They are based on historical figures who accomplished great things during their rule or successfully led their people through periods of adversity.Įach leader has both a unique ability (which gives them special bonuses and gameplay advantages) and an agenda (which affects how they play the game and interact with other players when controlled by the AI). Leaders are symbolic representatives of the playable civilizations in Civilization VI.
