We’re excited to announce the Portugal Pack is available now, as part of the New Frontier Pass or as an individual $8.99 purchase.



Today’s release of the Portugal Pack is the sixth and final pack in a planned series of premium updates for Civilization VI that we’re calling the New Frontier Pass. If you purchase the New Frontier Pass, you’ll also get the exclusive Teddy Roosevelt and Catherine De Medici Persona Packs.


Here are the full update notes:

[Portugal Pack]
[New Features]

Civilization - Portugal
Unique Ability - Casa da Índia

Unique Improvement - Feitoria

Can only be built adjacent to Luxury or Bonus resources in territory belonging to other Civilizations or City-States that you have Open Borders with. Provides +4 Gold and +1 Production to the owner of the tile. Trade routes sent to this city from Portugal gain +4 Gold and +1 Production. Must be built on a Coast or Lake tile adjacent to land and not adjacent to another Feitoria. Feitorias cannot be removed.
Unique Building – Navigation School

• Likes civilizations that have explored more than other civilizations.
• Dislikes civilizations that have explored less.

Zombies Defense Game Mode
The Zombie Defense game mode introduces a dangerous threat to your Civilization: the dead that do not stay dead. Zombies can rise from the ashes of war, and as they prey upon your and other’s lands, they spread their deadly curse onwards. Build new defensive structures to protect your territory. Make use of new City Projects to manipulate Zombies against your still living opponents.

Zombies
Zombies are melee units that wander the map. They cannot pillage your Improvements but will immediately go after any unit wandering outside and attack your City Centers and defensible Districts. Zombie hordes are unrelenting, but predictable as they will always attack the closest non-Zombie unit. But there are new defenses – your Builders and Military Engineers can construct traps and walls, and new City Projects allow you to take control of the dead for a time, using them to attack your enemies or rerouting them to your neighbor’s door.

Zombie units thrive on the aftermath of war. When a unit dies on the map, it carries a slight chance of returning as a Zombie some turns later. However, if a unit is destroyed by a Zombie, it will rise again on the following turn. If a Zombie attack lowers a city’s population, a new Zombie unit will spawn immediately next to the city. The undead menace steadily grows in strength as well as number – for each Zombie killed anywhere in the world, remaining and new Zombies get stronger.

New Defensive Structures
Builders can create Barricades or Traps to help fend off enemies. Later eras can grant the ability to create more powerful Barricades or Traps. While these can be powerful defenses against the living dead, they can also be useful against the units of other civilizations, as they deal damage to any sort of enemy.
Traps
• Trap – An unworkable early Improvement that deals a moderate damage to, and depletes the movement of, hostile units passing directly through it. Unlocked with Construction and built using a Builder Charge. Does not prevent unit movement through this space.
• Modernized Trap – An unworkable later Improvement that deals significant damage to, and depletes the movement of, hostile units passing directly through it. Unlocked with Ballistics and built using a Charge from a Military Engineer. Does not prevent unit movement through this space.
Barricades
• Barricade – An unworkable early Improvement that deals minor damage to, and exerts zone of control on, hostile units passing through or adjacent to it. Unlocked with Military Engineering and built using a Builder Charge. Does not prevent unit movement through this space.
• Reinforced Barricade – An unworkable later Improvement that deals moderate damage to, and exerts zone of control on, hostile units passing through or adjacent to it. Unlocked with Rifling and built using a Charge from a Military Engineer. Does not prevent unit movement through this space.
• Existing Civilization VI infrastructure has been updated to also provide additional options for Zombie defenses: Fort, Roman Fort, Great Wall, [Ethiopia Pack] Vampire Castle, [Gathering Storm] the Maori’s Pa, [Vikings Scenario Pack] Alcazar.

New City Projects
Using the Turn Undead project at a Holy Site or the Dark Signal project at a Campus will allow you to briefly take control of Zombies within your city limits, meaning that you can turn the horde against your enemies. Just be sure to be safely out of reach when your control expires or when you strategically end it. In addition, Spies can spread the deadly curse to other civilizations with the Zombie Outbreak action.
• Holy Site - Turn Undead – Upon completion, gain control of the Zombies currently in this city’s territory. Control lasts 15 turns.
• Campus - Dark Signal - Upon completion, gain control of the Zombies currently in this city’s territory. Control lasts 30 turns.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/289070/Sid_Meiers_Civilization_VI/

[NEW FEATURES]
Barbarian Clans Game Mode
A new game mode that adds diverse Barbarian groups and strategies. This game mode replaces standard Barbarian Tribes with Clans, with a variety of terrain and combat preferences. Additionally, the mode introduces new player actions for peaceful interactions with Barbarians that provide increased strategic options.

Every Clan can progress towards converting into a City-State. If the camp remains in play long enough and/or receives enough boosts from player actions, it will transform into a new City-State.

New Clans Types
This mode includes seven types of Barbarian Clans. Each clan type has its own preferred range of units to field and requires a different set of map conditions in order to appear. In addition to their normal units, clans also have the ability to field Unique Units from Civs that were not selected during game setup.
· Flatland Clan – Prefers to place their Outposts in open terrain away from woods and hills. They prefer a balance of melee units for attack and ranged units for defense.
· Woodland Clan – Prefers to place their Outposts in or adjacent to woods and rainforests. They prefer greater numbers of ranged units than melee units and use them for both attack and defense.
· Hills Clan – Prefers to place their Outposts on open terrain with hills. They strongly prefer melee units, even to the point of excluding ranged units completely.
· Rover Clan – Require a nearby Horse resource and prefer to place their Outposts in open terrain away from woods. They prefer as many mounted units as possible, using both light and heavy cavalry for attack and defense.
· Chariot Clan – Require a nearby Horse resource and prefer to place their Outposts in the desert. They prefer mounted vehicles and light cavalry in all roles, rarely using ranged units at all.
· Jungle Clan – Requires a nearby Ivory resource and prefer to place their Outposts inside rainforests. They prefer a mixture of light and heavy cavalry units supported by foot and ranged units.
· Seafaring Clan – Always place their Outposts on coastal plots. They defend their Outposts with land-based anti-cavalry units, but otherwise they exclusively use naval melee and naval ranged units for scouting and attacking.

New Unit Commands
Combat units that enter a Barbarian Outpost do not automatically destroy it. Instead, they can choose from two new unit commands to deal with the clan.
· Disperse Clan – Destroy the clan completely and earn experience points for the dispersing unit.
· Raid Clan – Player is rewarded with Gold and the clan’s progress towards City-State conversion is reduced, but the Outpost is not destroyed. Raided clans gain immunity to raids for a short duration and spawn a defender unit in reprisal the same turn.

New Player Commands
Players can take peaceful or diplomatic actions with Clans. To initiate one of these interactions, players will need to click on the map banner over the Outpost.
· Hire Clan – Spend Gold to permanently purchase the best military unit the clan can currently train. The clan will gain progress towards City-State conversion.
· Ransom Unit from Clan – Spend Gold to recover a civilian unit captured by the clan. Clans that ransom units lose progress towards City-State conversion.
· Bribe Clan – Spend Gold to expel units from your territory and prevent them from targeting your cities for a number of turns. The clan will gain progress towards City-State conversion.
· Incite Clan – Spend Gold to encourage the clan to raid and attack the cities of another civilization. The clan will lose progress towards City-State conversion.

Leader Selection Pool
· The Leader Selection Pool is a new advanced option that allows players to create 2 custom pools of leaders for their single and multiplayer games. What this does is allow players to create lists of leaders that can be chosen by others, or by the AI. For instance, you might want to have one group of leaders for your friends in an online game, and then restrict the AI to a different set of leaders. This still allows for some randomness - you could create a list of leaders that you haven't seen before, a list of non-aggressive leaders for a peaceful game, or all the warmongers for a real brawl.
