Buy Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Ethiopia Pack Steam Key

The Ethiopia Pack introduces the African civilization of Ethiopia led by the legendary emperor Menelik II, expanding Civilization VI with new strategic depth and gameplay mechanics. This DLC pack is the second installment of the New Frontier Pass, released in July 2020, and brings fresh content across multiple platforms.

Ethiopia's civilization design centers on hill-based settlement and faith generation. The civilization's unique ability, Aksumite Legacy, grants cities extra faith from resources, with bonuses amplified when international trade routes originate from resource-rich settlements. This faith-focused economy allows Ethiopia to purchase Archaeology Museums and Archaeologists using faith instead of traditional production, opening unique cultural and scientific advancement paths.

Menelik II's leader ability, Council of Ministers, converts the faith output of hill-founded cities into culture and science bonuses, while his units gain combat strength advantages when fighting on hills. Ethiopia's unique unit, the Oromo Cavalry, excels in hill terrain with improved combat strength and sight, suffering no movement penalties on elevated ground. The Rock-Hewn Church tile improvement, buildable only on hills or volcanic soil, provides faith generation with additional bonuses from adjacent mountains and hills, and uniquely resists destruction from natural disasters.

Beyond the civilization itself, the Ethiopia Pack introduces the Secret Societies game mode—an optional ruleset that adds four mysterious organizations offering specialized governors and unique bonuses. Players can also construct the Diplomatic Quarter, a unique district focusing on foreign relations, along with new buildings like the Consulate and Chancery. This content pack appeals to players seeking faith-based economic strategies, those interested in African history, and anyone looking to diversify their diplomatic and cultural gameplay approaches in Civilization VI.
