Competitive Landscape
Amongst the robust roster of DLC civilizations in Civilization VI, several stand out as exceptional contenders. The Khmer, known for their colossal, faith-generating Barays, offer an unparalleled religious dominance. The Maori, with their Marae districts and unique ability to settle on coastal tiles, provide a potent combination of expansion and culture. The Mapuche by contrast, thrive in the Andes foothills with their Chemamull fortresses and versatile Malon Raiders, enabling them to conquer and control strategic mountain passes.
Value Proposition
The Khmer’s Barays not only provide Faith but also Production and Housing bonuses, making their cities formidable powerhouses. Their unique Srah Srang grants extensive adjacency bonuses, further enhancing their economic and religious output. The Maori’s Marae, a modified Holy Site, boosts Faith and Culture while also improving the combat strength of adjacent units, adding a formidable defensive layer to their coastal settlements. The Mapuche’s Chemamull fortresses provide strong defensive capabilities, particularly in mountainous terrain, and their Malon Raiders are versatile units that can pillage enemy improvements and cities.
