Scotland: Mary

Reign with Mary: A New Scottish Leader for Civilization VI

Enhance your Sid Meier’s Civilization VI experience with the “Scotland: Mary” mod, introducing Mary, Queen of Scots, as a formidable new leader for the Scottish civilization. This mod focuses on cultivating happiness and faith, offering a unique strategic path for players who enjoy a more spiritual and content empire.

The White Queen’s Blessing

Mary’s unique ability, “White Queen,” directly ties her nation’s prosperity to its spiritual fervor and citizen morale. Happy cities under her rule will gain a significant boost to their Faith generation, increasing by a notable percentage. This bonus is further amplified for cities that achieve an ‘Ecstatic’ status, effectively doubling the Faith output. This encourages players to meticulously manage their cities’ amenities and pursue policies that foster widespread contentment, transforming happiness into a powerful engine for religious expansion.

Espionage and Early Game Advantage

Beyond her focus on faith and happiness, “White Queen” also grants Mary a distinct advantage in the realm of espionage. Players will receive a complimentary Spy unit upon founding both the first and last available Religions. Furthermore, once the “Reformed Church” civic is unlocked, the ability to recruit additional Spies using Faith becomes available. This dual benefit provides early-game intelligence opportunities and a consistent method for deploying covert agents throughout the game, synergizing perfectly with her spiritual advantages.

An Agenda of Contentment

Mary’s “Queen of Scots” agenda reflects her historical persona and her leader abilities. She actively seeks to maximize both Happiness and Faith within her empire. Consequently, she respects other civilizations that demonstrate similar priorities. However, she views those who are highly happy but lack a strong Faith presence as misguided, potentially influencing her diplomatic interactions and strategic decisions.
