In the strategy game Civilization VI, “Great People” are influential individuals who can provide significant benefits to a player’s civilization. They are divided into several categories, including Great Writers, Great Artists, Great Musicians, Great Scientists, Great Engineers, Great Merchants, and Great Generals. Each type of Great Person has unique abilities that can aid in various aspects of gameplay, such as boosting culture, science, or military strength.
Great People are earned by fulfilling certain criteria or by constructing specific wonders or buildings. Once earned, they can be expended to provide a one-time bonus or to establish a permanent legacy. For example, a Great Scientist can be used to instantly complete a technology research, while a Great General can be used to train a powerful military unit.
