Yesterday, 2K announced that Persia, led by Cyrus the Great, would be one of two new civilizations added to Civilization 6 in upcoming DLC. Today, it unveiled Cyrus' partner in that expansion, and he's pretty great too. His name is Alexander, son of Philip, and he's the ruler of Macedon.

Macedon's unique Hypaspist units are elite, shield-bearing soldiers who carry a spear and short sword into battle, while the Hetairoi—better known as the Companions—are a fast, heavy cavalry unit that's 'widely regarded as the world's first shock troops.' For a unique building, Macedon gets the Basilikoi Paides, where noble sons and young boys taken as political hostages are raised to 'serve, honor and protect the king, and to serve Macedon’s interests above all else,' and the unique 'Hellenistic Fusion' ability grants it a bonus every time a city is conquered.

As for Big Al himself, he's all about the fight. His ability, To the World's End, grants reduced war weariness, so that Macedon can stay at war with its neighbors for longer stretches without suffering unduly for it.

Ironically, in the same sense of the term as Tomyris' appearance in the Persia teaser, Alexander was ultimately unable to reach the world's end: His army refused to follow him into India, and he was forced to turn back at the Beas River. He died three years later, in Babylon, at the age of 32.

Macedon and Persia will be available together in an upcoming Civilization and Scenario Pack, scheduled to come out later this spring.

Ready for more Civ 6? Here’s what we want from Civilization 6’s DLC.

Firaxis also revealed what Alexander the Great’s unique abilities, unique building, unique units, and leader ability are.

Alexander the Great/Macedonian Unique Abilities: To the World’s End and Hellenistic Fusion

[[{“attributes”:{},”fields”:{}}]]

Alexander the Great and Macedonia are best played as a rush-type civilization. To the End of the World reduces war weariness penalties which means you can start your military campaigns sooner in the game and have them last longer. To the World’s End doesn’t negate diplomatic penalties for starting wars, but if your objective is to conquer the world, who cares about diplomacy?

Hellenistic Fusion, Alexander’s second unique ability, pairs well with To the End of the World. With it, you’ll gain a bonus for each district in a conquered city. The bonus depends on what type of district is captured, and this ability encourages you to conquer more cities as quickly as possible. With the issue of war weariness minimised by To The World’s End, you can afford to rack your Hellenistic Fusion bonuses up to your heart’s content.

Alexander the Great/Macedonian Unique Units: Hetairoi and Hypaspist

[[{“attributes”:{},”fields”:{}}]]

In the Macedonian army, two units are replaced by unique units. The swordsman is replaced by the hypaspist, and heavy cavalry is exchanged for the hetairoi.

The hypaspist serves the same melee combat role as the swordsman, but gets an attack boost when assaulting districts and cities. This unit paired with Hellenistic Fusion will help compensate for the funds you spend on your military by allowing you to sack districts and gain science and culture quickly.

That means you can choose to either grant the hetairoi the Charge ability, which grants a bonus when attacking fortified defenders, or Barding which gives added defense against ranged attacks. Having experienced cavalry as soon as they’re produced gives a great boon to Alexander the Great’s arsenal that can give you the edge over rival civ armies.

Alexander the Great/Macedonian Unique Building: Basilikoi Paides

[[{“attributes”:{},”fields”:{}}]]

The Macedonian Empire maintained specialised academies, the Basilikoi Paides, for the training of royal pages. Young nobles, both domestic and integrated foreigners, attended these schools which gave them an extensive education. The Basilikoi Paides generates science in Civ 6 whenever a non-civilian is trained in the city it’s located in. The Basilikoi Paides also grants combat bonuses to certain unit types, and its generation of science when a military unit is created is another way to offset your military costs. Looks like it’ll be built in encampment districts.

Alexander the Great and the Macedonians have some intriguing abilities, and it’ll be interesting to see how their unique traits will play out in the game’s meta.
