Civ VI Legacies: Elizabeth I

This mod is designed to modify and expand upon the gameplay of Elizabeth I to be more powerful, more interesting, and more historically flavorful. Best paired with the Civilizations Expanded mod for balance purposes, one of my favorite mods which unfortunately never got around to overhauling the final batch of leaders.

Cult of the Virgin Queen

Receive one extra Wildcard policy slot in any Government when in a Golden Age. Trade Routes to City-States gain +3 Gold, +1 Food, and +1 Culture for each specialty district at the origin city. +100% yields from plundering Trade Routes. Civic Squares provide Faith equal to their Culture adjacency bonus. Great Writings, Portraits, and Music also grant Faith equal to their Culture.

The base game's design captures one narrow facet of Elizabeth's reign but her legacy is far more complex than a trade agreement meme and Francis Drake's privateering. In fact, it's difficult to even capture all of the important aspects of her character and accomplishments in one ability without creating a bloated and incoherent monster! My design seeks to deepen her gameplay, highlight the aspects of her rule which are the most important and interesting, and encourage the player to behave much as she would.

Guide the fabled Virgin Queen to victory. Forge your global trade empire, impress your subjects with glorious accomplishments abroad and take them back home to be translated into propagandistic Great Works. With the strength of your treasury and the devotion of your cult of personality, you shall surely triumph over any enemy that dares to challenge the rising star of England.
