The Witcher Universe in Civ 6 - First Faction Revealed

Fans of The Witcher and Civilization VI have something to look forward to. The workshop of the latter on Steam features a collection called The World of The Witcher, which quite recently received its first mod. It introduces Kaedwen led by King Henselt to Civilization VI .

Faction characteristics

In the description of the Kaedwen mod, the author outlined the skills of the ruler and their influence on his units. On paper, the faction presents itself as follows.

• Henselt's special ability "Last of the Unicorns" - if there is a Military Engineer near siege units, they gain a bonus to melee and against districts, as well as +100% to their production.
• Kaedvenian units gain+2 to movement speed for 10 turns after declaring war, and Kaedvenian Tundra gains +1 to food and production.
• The Dun Banner light cavalry is a Kaedwen unit storming the battlefield. When a player trains it, they receive an additional cavalry unit.
• A unique Kaedwen upgrade is the Kaedwen Camp, unlocked with Military Engineering. This outpost occupies surrounding tiles and provides additional crops on the outskirts of the empire. It also gives siege troops located in the Camp additional range and strength against land units.

Details about The World of The Witcher

Mod introducing Kaedwen to the fields of Civilization also adds the League of Hendfords to the game as a religious city-state. When the player becomes its suzerain, they receive a new luxury resource - Golden Dragon Scales providing twelve amenities.

The Witcher: Kaedwen is currently available in two languages: English and Italian. The author, iPlayGamesITA, did not share information on whether it intends to translate its project into other languages.

Although we can expect that the Polish community will sooner or later contact the Italian, to avoid unnecessary disputes (Dying Light 2, we remember). After all, this is The Witcher we're talking about.

It is also worth mentioning that the creator plans to create more factions so if you would like to play a witcher campaign in Civilization, it is worth following the development of this collection in the Steam workshop.
