[Fate]Nero of Rome

Experience Rome Anew with Nero in Civilization VI

Prepare to witness the grandeur of Rome through a dramatically different lens with the [Fate]Nero of Rome mod for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. This ambitious modification introduces Nero as a playable leader, offering a unique playstyle that emphasizes culture and expansion, albeit with a distinctly theatrical flair. While currently in beta, this mod promises an exciting twist on the Roman civilization, focusing on cultural dominance and the flourishing of artistic endeavors.

Nero’s Roman Empire: Culture and Conquest

Under Nero’s rule, Rome is reimagined with a focus on cultural output and the strategic acquisition of Great People. The mod introduces new abilities and districts designed to accelerate your civilization’s cultural ascent.

Leader Abilities: Laus Saint Claudius

Nero’s leadership brings the “Laus Saint Claudius” ability, a powerful suite of bonuses aimed at bolstering your cultural infrastructure. Key aspects include:

* A significant boost to production for Theater Squares and their associated buildings, allowing for rapid construction of cultural landmarks.
* The ability for Theater Squares to unleash a “culture bomb,” expanding your borders in a surge of artistic influence.
* A strategic reduction in gold costs for Settlers, encouraging swift territorial expansion to secure new venues for your burgeoning culture.

Unique District: Forum Romanum

Replacing the standard Entertainment Complex, the “Forum Romanum” district becomes available early in the game. This district is central to Nero’s strategy, enabling the powerful “Nero Festival” project. It provides adjacency yields of Culture, which grow further as your civilization progresses toward the Nationalism civic. Furthermore, each Forum Romanum contributes to generating Great People points, offering a passive trickle of Great Writer, Great Merchant, and Great General points, alongside a gold bonus upon completion.

Unique Project: Nero Festival

The “Nero Festival” project, accessible through the Forum Romanum, allows you to convert production directly into Culture and Gold. This potent project also generates general Great People points and provides a substantial gold reward at the end of its turn, calculated as four times the current culture yield.

Agenda: Rosa Caelestis

Nero’s agenda, “Rosa Caelestis,” encourages a playstyle focused on empire expansion and cultural accumulation. She favors civilizations that exhibit strong income and high culture, while expressing disapproval towards those lagging in these crucial areas.

This mod is presented in both English and Simplified Chinese. Players are encouraged to report any bugs encountered to help refine this beta experience. Dive into a new era of Roman leadership and let the festivals begin!
