Lead the Roman Empire with Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus in Civilization VI

Step into the sandals of one of history’s most influential Roman Emperors with the Marcus Aurelius mod for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. This compelling mod introduces Marcus Aurelius, assisted by his co-emperor Lucius Verus, allowing players to experience a unique chapter of Roman history within the grand strategy of Civilization VI. This modification is part of the “10 Years of Civilization VI – Romance of the Three Empires” event and the “Pax Romana Aeternum” collection, promising an authentic and engaging Roman playthrough.

The Philosophers and Warriors of Rome

Marcus Aurelius, often remembered as the “Philosopher King,” brought the Roman state back to its aristocratic roots. This mod reflects his stoic nature and focus on internal governance, represented by his unique agenda, “Meditations,” which accelerates grievance decay and shows tolerance for warmongers. Lucius Verus, though sometimes historically depicted as less disciplined, is presented here as a capable administrator and military commander, bringing a pragmatic approach to the empire’s expansion and stability.

Unique Leader and Governor Abilities

This mod introduces distinct advantages for players choosing to lead as Marcus Aurelius:

• The Last Good Caesar: Upon entering a new era, gain a Grammaticus, a unique Great Person that can generate valuable Great Works of Writing.
• Lucius Verus, the Last Good Co-Caesar: This unique Governor provides significant bonuses, including halved build times for Encampment and Theatre Square buildings, production boosts for units, increased combat strength for units within city borders, and enhanced Great People point generation.
• Meditations Agenda: Marcus Aurelius’s stoic philosophy translates into gameplay by making grievances decay twice as fast, allowing for more flexible diplomatic relations.

Gameplay Enhancements

The mod also includes a unique Great Person, the Grammaticus, who grants a Great Work of Writing, providing essential Culture and Tourism. The abilities of Lucius Verus are designed to bolster both military and cultural development, reflecting the dual nature of Roman power. This mod requires the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI and is fully compatible with multiplayer. Prepare to guide Rome through its golden age, facing external threats and internal challenges as these legendary figures.
