Back to List of pantheons in Civ6
Dance of the Aurora is a Pantheon in Civilization VI. It increases the
Faith output of Holy Site districts by 1 for each adjacent Tundra tile.
Strategy[]
Like all pantheons that rely on specific terrain types, Dance of the Aurora attempts to boost the desirability of an otherwise unappealing terrain. It requires an appropriate start and the player having more interest in
Faith than whatever other bonuses may be obtained (e.g., extra
Food by taking Goddess of the Hunt and improving
Deer and
Furs with Camps).
If a civilization can make any use of extra
Faith, however, a pantheon that specializes in generating absurd amounts of
Faith such as this one is certainly a good choice. Combining this pantheon's benefits with those of Peter in particular will result in a lot of
Faith, due to Russia's civilization ability of obtaining extra
Faith and
Production from Tundra tiles. This
Faith can then be invested in religious wars, the recruitment of
Great People, or - after adopting Theocracy or building the Grand Master's Chapel - the purchase of military units. Wilfrid Laurier (another leader with a Tundra starting bias) can also potentially make good use of this pantheon, although
Faith is not a particularly strong suit of his.
Another side-effect of the pantheon to keep in mind is that almost all your Holy Sites built in Tundra will trigger a "Splendid Holy Site Completed" Historic Moment upon completion, which gives you +3 Era Score for the first time you achieve this.
