Industries provide powerful buffs to home cities - from increased yields to decreased production costs - alongside a steady supply of Great Merchant points. Full patch notes will be available when the update drops on 25th February 2021.Watch on YouTube Civilization 6 - New Frontier Pass DLC 5.įiraxis has thankfully been a little more forthcoming about the new Monopolies and Corporations game mode, explaining that it's designed to offer 'more robust economic gameplay' focussed on creating Industries around duplicate resources. On top of that, balance updates and AI adjustments are also included, with a specific focus on air units and air combat, allowing the AI to deploy more anti-air defences and launch more air strikes, to make the late game more of a challenge. The free February update also adds the Leader Selection Pool, allowing players to customise the pool of leaders that can be used in game. You can see the full details in the developer update video below. Players can help move this forward to attempt to hold them back, and can bribe barbarians to stop them attacking their city, or pay them to attack another.

When playing this mode, you'll find six Barbarian Clans, each specialising in a different unit type, and with each clan accumulating progress each turn to become a city state. The update was directly driven by player feedback, and gives each player far more options for interacting with barbarians beyond combat. The new optional game mode, Barbarian Clans, gives the game's Barbarians a big upgrade and allows them to play a greater role in each game.

Developer Firaxis Games has announced that a free game update for Civilization VI is arriving next week, bringing with it a new Barbarian Clans game mode, as well as further updates.
