2K and Firaxis have unveiled their Civilization 6 First Look trailer for Egypt under Cleopatra as its ruler which shows how it will be unique to the other cities.

There are also some new unique units that come from Egypt. The developers have also showed a new special ability dubbed as Eteru which makes workers build faster if the building is on a river.

Cleopatra is also shown to grant Egypt several in-game advantages regarding trading. Additional gold can be granted from trade routes which makes Egypt a good bet for those looking to generate more income early in the game.

Egypt also has the new Maryannu Chariot Archer plus the Sphinx buildings that provide a significant bonus in Culture and Faith, VG247 has learned. 2K and Firaxis certainly has given thought to how Egypt will be unique in terms of the building and trading aspect of in Civilization 6.

The Maryannu Charriot Archer is shown to have a stable base for archers but with more capacity for ammunition. They could sacrifice the terrain advantage with their ammunition and it would make for a tactical play against enemies with lower ammo in the field.

Another improvement is the Sphinx which everyone knows as the huge building where a human head sits atop of a lion's body. The Great Sphinx of Giza is one popular building, TechnoBuffalo reported.

Civilization 6 players will now have the chance to pre-plan their choices in the game. They could see Egypt as a valuable ally in terms of trading.

Players could choose Egypt for themselves to ally with other players who want to help each other grow their wealth and army at the same time. It would be better for players to have allies than to take on several armies alone in the multiplayer aspect of Civilization 6.

Civilization 6 is a follow up to the Civilization V game that was released more than half a decade ago. The turn-based strategy adventure RPG multiplayer game will be launched by 2K and Firaxis on October 21, 2016 for the PC, Mac and Linux platform.
