Phantagonist’s Li Yuan (Emperor Gaozu of Tang)

Rule Tang China with Emperor Gaozu: Li Yuan in Civilization VI

Expand your diplomatic and military horizons in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI with the introduction of a new leader for the Chinese civilization: Li Yuan, posthumously known as Emperor Gaozu of Tang. This mod seamlessly integrates the formidable founder of the Tang Dynasty, offering a fresh strategic pathway for players eager to forge a new empire.

Wude Edicts: A Foundation of Power

Li Yuan’s leadership is defined by his unique ability, “Wude Edicts.” Upon constructing the Government Plaza, you’ll immediately gain a Great General, providing an early military advantage or exploration boost. More strategically, this ability allows Great People to perform an “Imperial Edict” action. By consuming the Great Person unit, you can choose to gain a valuable Governor title, bolstering your city management; two ranged units, strengthening your defenses or offensive capabilities; or three Envoys, advancing your diplomatic standing with city-states. This offers remarkable flexibility, allowing you to tailor your empire’s growth to your immediate needs.

Agenda: Ambition and Suspicion

Li Yuan’s “Ambition and Suspicion” agenda influences his diplomatic interactions. He favors civilizations that are judicious in their recruitment of Great People, appreciating restraint. Conversely, he harbors a distrust for those who amass a large number of Great People, potentially leading to diplomatic friction. This agenda encourages a unique playstyle, rewarding players who carefully manage their Great Person acquisition and can potentially leverage Li Yuan’s specific preferences for diplomatic gain.
