Back to Civilizations (Civ6)

The Macedonian people represent a civilization in Civilization VI. Their colors are gray (#888888) and yellow (#E9EB01), and they are led by Alexander. They are available with the Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack, which was released on March 28, 2017.

The Macedonians' civilization ability is Hellenistic Fusion, which provides them with boosts based on the kinds of districts present in the cities they capture. Their unique unit is the Hypaspist (which replaces the Swordsman), and their unique building is the Basilikoi Paides (which replaces the Barracks).

Strategy

Macedon is focused almost exclusively on waging long wars and conquering your enemies. The Basilikoi Paides allows you to stay with your enemies in terms of technology, and the Hellenistic Fusion ability rewards you much more than other civilizations for conquest. You will need to sacrifice religion but you can take wonders over from other cities when you conquer them. Purchase Builders when you have the Gold and focus on Gold and Production; your main priority is pumping out units for your army and paying their upkeep.

Against Alexander, research Masonry and Archery quickly, as you will need the extra defense to repel him. Alexander does not gain war weariness, so don't expect him to want to surrender on his own. You'll need to build an army of your own and push him back.
