-
Queen Tomyris leads Scythia in
-
Sid Meier's Civilization VI.
-
The legendary Tomyris was
-
one of the greatest queens of antiquity.
-
Although we know little about her,
-
early historians describe her as
-
a formidable warrior ruler of steppe nomads.
-
Queen Tomyris is legendary for
-
having killed Cyrus the Great of Persia.
-
Her armies get a bonus when they attack wounded units,
-
and heal a little when they defeat an enemy.
-
As people of the Steppe,
-
the Scythians create 2 units instead of 1
-
when they build Light Cavalry or their unique Saka Horse Archers.
-
The Saka Horse Archer is highly mobile,
-
and it doesn't require Horse resources to construct.
-
The Scythians can field a massive,
-
mobile army very early in the game.
-
Scythia also gets the Kurgan as a unique tile improvement.
-
This provides faith and gold,
-
and gets a bonus for being built near Pastures.
-
It can't be built on a hill,
-
and you can't build Kurgans next to each other.
-
Scythia is one of the strongest military civilizations
-
of the Ancient and Classical eras.
-
Fast moving, hard-hitting,
-
they should take advantage of their Kurgans
-
for early Pantheon beliefs
-
and use those to reinforce their civilization's strengths.
-
Tomyris is an honorable warrior
-
who hates surprise declarations of war.
-
Think very carefully if she's a neighbor
-
and you're thinking about starting a fight,
-
or you might just find yourself
-
facing the wrath of her horsemen.
-
Will future historians speak your name
-
with honor and respect?
-
How will you lead Scythia in Sid Meier's Civilization VI?
