Philip II, King of Spain the organizer of the Spanish armada during the late 16th century, is coming to rid the world of heresy and purify the world through faith, exploration, and money in Civilization VI. Spain’s ability, treasure fleet, harkens back to their golden age of ships and gold and grants trade between Spanish colonies on different continents extra yields and lets Spain combine ships into fleets earlier than other civs.

Philip II was also a faith fighter, and his military units show that passion by their bonuses against units of different faiths. Inquisitor units fight for Spain in Civ VI by getting an extra use to purge more infidels from your cities and by giving Spain’s unique military unit, the conquistador, “significant” bonuses when they share a hex with them, a missionary, or apostle. Finally, when a city is captured near a conquistador, that city instantly becomes whatever Spain’s majority religion is.

Spain is a powerful military power that’s great at exploring the world and making some profit on their ventures, but weaker than other civs at production, science, and consolidation. To help that, Spain’s unique improvement, the mission, provides faith, bonus faith when built on another continent from the capital city, and science when built next to a campus. They wouldn’t be holy warriors without faith and a mission after all right?
