Korean Faction Introduced for Civ VI Expansion, Rise & Fall

When the next Civilization VI expansion launches in February 2018, one of the factions present will be Korea. The team revealed the Korean faction in a new “first look” video that beings the process of showing off all that players can expect in Rise & Fall.

The video introduces Queen Seondeok, one of the nine new leaders coming in the expansion. In addition, Korea’s unique building, the Seowon, is shown. It will replace the “campus” and will require players to carefully consider its placement. According to Kotaku, “it provides adjacency bonuses for some things (like mines) while losing some of its science yield for every other district built next to it.”

The Korean Faction

Here are some of the main features of the faction:

  • Hwacha unit – a mobile ballista
  • Three Kingdoms Civ Ability – mines and farms adjacent to Seowon benefit
  • Hwarang Unique Leader Ability – bonus to both science & culture in cities with a governor

Rise & Fall

From the Steam page:

Civilization VI is a game about building an empire to stand the test of time, and the Rise and Fall expansion brings new choices, strategies, and challenges for players as they guide a civilization through the ages. Can you inspire the Loyalty of people around the world, or will you lose cities to your rivals? Will you establish a Golden Age for your civilization, or be mired in a Dark Age? In Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, you truly become a leader for the ages.

Successful leadership of a civilization can send it into a prosperous Golden Age, but falling behind can usher in a Dark Age. Respond well to the challenges of a Dark Age, and your civilization can rise again into renewal with a Heroic Age.

Encourage the Loyalty of your citizens to keep your borders intact, or inspire Loyalty among other civilizations to expand your empire. World borders continually shift and change as Free Cities emerge from empires, and neighbors compete for the Loyalty of cities across the map.

With the new the Governor system, players are able to further customize and specialize their cities, as well as react to the new challenges of Dark Ages and Loyalty. Each of the seven unique governors has its own promotion tree, and lends itself to different playstyles and strategies.

In addition to these new systems, Civilization VI: Rise and Fall introduces eight new civilizations and nine new leaders. Eight new world wonders can be constructed, as well as a variety of new units, districts, buildings, and improvements. There are more ways than ever before to build, conquer, and inspire.
