Today 2K and Firaxis Games announced that the leader of the English civilisation in Civilisation VI will be Queen Victoria. This marks quite a dramatic change from Civilisation V (where Queen Elizabeth was in charge).
Along with this came the announcement of unique aspects to the civilisation under Queen Victoria. These include the Royal Navy Dockyard district, the Redcoat unit, and the Sea Dog unit. These all take from the history of England and the Empire, as well as from rich naval tradition.
More information about these newly confirmed features can be found on the official Civilisation blog, and you can see the new trailer below.
