The Rulers of England DLC Pack marks the end of the Civilization 6 Leader Pass, offering a brand-new Leader and two alternative Personas. Along with Elizabeth I and Varangian Harald Hardrada of Norway, the latest Civilization 6 DLC also includes a new Persona for England's Victoria.
Age of Steam Victoria is an alternative Persona for the first Leader of England in Civilization 6, and focuses on Queen Victoria's rule during the Industrial Revolution. Despite this late historical setting, Age of Steam Victoria offers bonuses that will be helpful at all stages of a Civilization's journey.
Age of Steam Victoria's Features and Abilities
Victoria shares the same Civilization Ability, Unique Unit, and Unique District as the other Leaders of England, Elizabeth I and Eleanor of Aquitaine. However, her Age of Steam Ability grants a massive boost to Production that can turn England into an industrial powerhouse from a very early era.

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 pursue any Civilization 6 victory of their choice.
Age of Steam is particularly good when combined with Workshop of the World, which is the English Civ Ability for players who own the Gathering Storm expansion. 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 to unlock 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.
Civilization 6 is available for iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
