Civilization VI - Babylon Pack (Xbox One)

Join Hammurabi in Civilization VI - Babylon Pack

In the Civilization VI - Babylon Pack for Xbox One, players can step into the shoes of Hammurabi and explore the unique strengths of the Babylon civilization. Known for its focus on Science, Government, and Infrastructure, this expansion brings fresh strategic elements to the renowned turn-based strategy game. With rich new mechanics and gameplay options, Babylon's legendary status has its place in history.

Crafting Scientific Dominance with Babylon

Babylon's power lies in its Civ Unique Ability: "Enuma Anu Enlil." This ability allows players to earn all the Science for each technology with a Eureka, but it comes with a trade-off—turn-over Science generation is reduced. Crafting a strategy around tech advancements becomes even more critical as you harness this unique scientific prowess to outpace rivals on the tech tree.

Hammurabi's Strategic Advantages

Leading Babylon is Hammurabi, armed with his Leader Unique Ability, "Ninu Ilu Sirum." This feature grants the opportunity to construct the lowest Production cost building in each specialty district for free for the first time. For every new district built, he also provides a bonus Envoy, creating more diplomatic opportunities. This adds layers to decision-making, positioning players to build their civilizations efficiently.

Take Command of Babylon's Sabum Kibittum

Engagements in the Ancient Era get a boost with the Sabum Kibittum, Babylon’s unique unit. This melee unit excels against Heavy and Light Cavalry, providing increased Combat Strength, alongside enhanced Movement and Sight. Utilizing this unit effectively can turn the tide in battles, making it essential for dominant military strategies during early gameplay.

Enhancing Growth with the Palgum Unique Building

The Palgum, Babylon's unique building, replaces the traditional Watermill, unlocking with Irrigation. This building provides additional Production and Housing, while also increasing Food generated by Freshwater tiles when adjacent to a River. This makes the Palgum pivotal for city expansion and sustainable growth, allowing you to grow your civilization's population while ensuring resource management.

New Dimension with Heroes and Legends Mode

The Babylon Pack introduces the “Heroes and Legends” game mode, injecting fresh gameplay dynamics with legendary figures from various cultural traditions. Players can recruit heroes through exploration or the new Heroic Tales City Project. Each hero carries unique abilities inspired by their mythic deeds, offering options for innovation, military might, and prosperity.

Discover New Great People and City-States

Valuable additions include 24 new Great People, such as the poet Rumi and architect Imhotep. Alongside these figures, 6 new City-States broaden the diplomatic landscape, each contributing unique benefits. With these new elements, players have rich choices to explore different paths to victory and expand their civilizations beyond traditional methods.

Historic Relics and a New Narrative

When heroes fulfill their purpose or expire, they leave behind two Heroic Relic Great Works: an Epic and a symbolic object. These relics enhance your civilization and can be showcased in the newly added Heroic Relic slots within monuments. They create opportunities for players to weave rich narratives filled with achievements and historical context, elevating the engagement within Civilization VI.
