Dusk’s Nazca

Unearth the Mysteries of the Nazca in Civilization VI

Prepare to embark on a new journey of discovery in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI with the addition of the ancient Nazca civilization! This compelling mod introduces a unique faction, complete with a distinctive leader, powerful civilization bonuses, and transformative new units and improvements, all designed to offer a fresh strategic experience.

Meet Killer Whale, the Nazca Leader

Leading the Nazca is Killer Whale, a formidable figure whose presence is fully animated within the game. His unique Leader Trait, “Trophy Heads,” offers a fascinating twist on faith generation and unit procurement. Cities blessed with a Holy Site gain the ability to purchase Melee, Ranged, Anti-Cavalry, and Light Cavalry units using Faith. Furthermore, Killer Whale’s followers are rewarded with bonus Faith for harvesting resources or clearing features, encouraging active engagement with the land.

Secrets of the Wasteland: Nazca Civilization Bonuses

The Nazca civilization itself benefits from the “Secrets of the Wasteland” trait, which intricately ties their prosperity to arid environments. Gain +1 Faith from Desert and Desert Hill tiles, alongside an additional +1 Faith from Plantations. Cities that lack fresh water will receive a significant boost of +2 Housing and +2 Food, making even the most challenging terrains a viable place for expansion and growth.

Transformative New Additions

This mod introduces several powerful new elements to your Civilization VI gameplay:

* **Nazca Lines (Unique Improvement):** These iconic structures provide +2 Faith and +1 Culture, with an additional +1 Faith when placed adjacent to a Holy Site. They also grant a Great Prophet point and bless adjacent tiles with +1 Faith. These can only be constructed on Desert and Desert Hill tiles.
* **Puquio (Unique District):** Replacing the Aqueduct, the Puquio offers a substantial +2 Housing and +2 Food, along with an additional +1 Food per population, drastically enhancing city yields.
* **Headhunter (Unique Unit):** This upgraded version of the Swordsman is not only stronger but also possesses a unique religious advantage. Each time a Headhunter unit eliminates an enemy, it spreads its founded religion, providing a powerful tool for both conquest and conversion.

The Dusk’s Nazca mod requires the Maya/Gran-Columbia pack for its immersive music, or alternatively, the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions for core functionality. Dive into Sid Meier’s Civilization VI and explore the unique strengths and strategies of the Nazca today!
