Gorgo ALSO leads Greece in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
This Spartan queen was famous for both her good counsel and her embodiment of Spartan values.
She lived fearlessly and was outspoken at a time when women were accorded little social standing.
Gorgo gets the Acropolis District and the Hoplite, as well as the “Plato’s Republic” ability for extra policy slots.
Her unique ability provides culture every time her forces defeat an enemy unit.
Civilization VI has both unique leader and civ bonuses.
This allows for multiple leaders to represent the same civ.
These different leaders allow players to take the civ’s strengths in slightly different directions.
As with playing Greece under Pericles, you’re going to want to focus on Greece’s strong culture game.
Gorgo allows you to play more aggressively.
When you go to war, you’re going to want to completely destroy your enemy’s army in order to use her ability to its utmost.
Later in the game, take advantage of Wars of Liberation and other Casus Belli.
Success with Gorgo will mean knowing when to pursue war and when peace is the better course, but any victory should be feasible.
Can you uphold the proud legacy of Sparta?
