Great People

In Civilization VI, you will be able to recruit Great People into your civilization by having points that are related to said Great People. There are 9 different types: Great Admiral, Artist, Engineer, General, Merchant, Musician, Prophet, Scientist, and Writer. While these Great People may be obtained through Great People points, they can also be recruited by buying them with Gold or Faith.

Each unique Great Person has their own active effect that is related to the category they come from, tailored to the history behind said person. ?For example, some Great Generals will be able to create enhanced melee units at an earlier stage of the game, and some Great Artists will be able to create Great Works of Art for your player. Some Great People, specifically Great Generals and Admirals, also have their own passive benefits, which provide combat bonuses to units of certain eras.
