Amanitore (Gifts of the Nile) loadscreen (Civ6)

Gifts of the Nile is a scenario in Civilization VI that was released with the Nubia Civilization & Scenario Pack.

Intro[]

The intro narration for the corresponding era is used.

Gameplay[]

This is a timed scenario in which you control either Amanitore of Nubia or Cleopatra of Egypt. You compete against both your rival in the Nile River Valley and six non-playable civilizations (which have no civilization or leader abilities, but pay no Gold Gold maintenance for their units) that will menace your empire as it grows.

In addition to the many special features, there are some key differences between this scenario and a standard game:

  • Both Nubia and Egypt found a religion as soon as they settle their first city, without needing to attract a Great Prophet.
  • Settlers cannot be trained; they are received after researching Medicine and certain civics. Only six total Settlers can be earned during the game, so it's necessary to militarily conquer at least one city.
  • All Great Generals have 8 Movement Movement and a passive combat effect on nearby units.
  • All Holy Site buildings provide Culture Culture and must be purchased with Faith Faith.
  • Nubia and Egypt cannot declare war on each other until Turn Turn 20.
  • Once a war is started, it cannot be ended.

The scenario begins with the Pyramids prebuilt near the city-state of On, which can be captured to receive their benefits. The Great Library, Great Lighthouse, and Jebel Barkal can also be built once a civilization completes the necessary research.

The scenario lasts for 125 turns, and the first player to build 7 Temples to Amun before time runs out wins.
