How to Play as Elizabeth I
Like Eleanor of Aquitaine, Age of Steam Victoria is an English Leader that relies less heavily on naval exploration and Domination. Although players should still take advantage of the powerful Royal Navy Dockyard and Sea Dogs, the massive Production that players can accumulate using Age of Steam will allow them to pursueanyCivilization 6victoryof their choice.
Age of Steam is particularly good when combined with Workshop of the World, which is the English Civ Ability for players who owntheGathering Stormexpansion. These two Abilities combine to grant Age of Steam Victoria a heavy focus on Industrial Zones and Strategic Resources, and exploiting these bonuses can lead to a powerhouse industrial empire.
Age of Steam Victoria players should make sure to include visible Strategic Resources when planning their City expansions, and rush to Apprenticeship tounlock Industrial Zones. With a Workshop, Factory, and Power Plant constructed, Age of Steam Victoria’s Industrial Zones will not only produce massive amounts of Production, but they’ll also grant an additional +30% bonus. Players can then funnel this Production surplus into units for a Domination victory, or into other Districts to pursue a Science or Culture victory.
