Macedon: Philip II

Rule Greece with Philip II’s Macedon in Civilization VI

Expand your dominion and forge a powerful Greek empire in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI with the Macedon: Philip II mod. This mod introduces the legendary leader Philip II, bringing a distinct playstyle focused on diplomatic influence and military might to the Hellenic civilization.

The League of Corinth: A Diplomat’s Edge

Philip II’s unique ability, the “League of Corinth,” revolutionizes how you interact with City-States. You’ll receive an Envoy every time you retire a Great General, bolstering your influence in these crucial centers of power. Furthermore, the cost of levying units from City-States is significantly reduced, allowing for rapid military buildup under your command. This ability synergizes perfectly with a strategy focused on gaining City-State alliances and leveraging their unique bonuses.

The Pezhetairos: A Stalwart Infantry Force

When Philip II leads Macedon, his civilization gains access to the unique Pezhetairos unit, available upon researching Bronze Working. This light infantry unit replaces the standard Spearman and boasts superior combat strength. Crucially, the Pezhetairos also generates Great General Points when promoted, allowing you to further enhance your military leadership and unlock powerful abilities for your generals.

Strategos Autokrator: The Ambition of a Ruler

Philip II’s agenda, “Strategos Autokrator,” reflects his drive for dominance. He desires to maintain numerous City-State allies and a substantial standing army. He favors civilizations that respect City-State autonomy and avoids those who meddle excessively in their politics. Be warned, however, as he will actively compete with other leaders vying for allegiance with the same City-States, especially if they possess formidable military forces.
