Key features for Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Rise and Fall include:^[2]

Great Ages[edit | edit source]

Main article: Ages (Civ6)

As your civilization ebbs and flows, and you reach milestone Historic Moments, you will experience Dark Ages or Golden Ages, each providing specific challenges or bonuses based on your actions in-game. Rise triumphantly from a Dark Age, and your next Golden Age will be even stronger – a Heroic Age.

Loyalty[edit | edit source]

Main article: Loyalty (Civ6)

Cities now have individual Loyalty to your leadership – let it fall too low, and face the consequences of low yields, revolts, and the potential to lose your city to another civilization, or its own independence. But one civilization’s loss can be your gain as you inspire Loyalty among cities throughout the map and further expand your borders.

Improved Gameplay Systems[edit | edit source]

The Government system has been enhanced with new Policies and additional improvements have been made to existing systems.

The city-state bonuses have different requirements. Previously the level 2 (+2) and three (+4) were applied to cities for merely having the relevant district. With Rise and Fall, these bonuses are only available if the relevant buildings have been constructed. Furthermore, the level three bonus is now only +2 instead of +4.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The statue appeared on the mountain in the promotional poster is the Discobolus of Myron, an art of the Greeks during the Classical period.
According to the lead designer Anton Strenger:^[3]

The biggest, over-arching goal [of Rise & Fall]: dynamic empires. Civilizations will rise and fall through the course of the game (as you probably figured out from the title). Borders will ebb and flow. Cities will change their loyalties. As a secondary goal, Civilization VI: Rise and Fall includes more storytelling elements – Historic Moments – that highlight the interesting turning points in your civilizations. These events happen every time you play, making playthroughs unique, while also giving them meaning in the mechanics.
