CIV 6 patch notes

Here’s a look at the detailed CIV 6 patch notes:

Red Death Season 2 - Faction Unique Abilities

Aliens – Xenological Camouflage 

• All units will be able to make use of Xenological Camouflage to gain invisiblility.

Cultists – The Undying Eye

• Cultists will begin a game using a crippled GDR. It will start damaged and won't heal or gain any experience naturally.

Borderlords – Grieving Gift

• Borderlords can deploy a fake supply drop at a certain spot on the next turn. If another user deploys a supply drop, it will cause an explosion at that location.

Mutants – Radiant Personalities

• Mutants that initiate a turn in the Red Death will absorb eight Radiation Charges on a single turn. They will be able to spread Red Death to other non-Red Death hexes automatically for a single Radiation Charge with one hex. Mutant units won't be affected by a mutant spread Red Death.

Pirates – Buried Treasure

Pirates will begin the game with a Treasure Map to a buried treasure location which will be reflected on their minimap. Once a pirate unit of that player gets near the treasure location, the pirate will receive a unit and a new treasure map.

Zombies - Barely Weaponized Zombies (Passive)

When someone kills a non-zombie enemy unit, it will result in more Zombie Hordes. These hordes will not face any combat penalties whenever they take damage.
