Civilization 7's latest update arrives on Monday. Firaxis revealed the bulk of the update's additions earlier this month, including the "most-requested addition" of letting players guide a single Civ across the entirety of its campaign. But Firaxis kept one last surprise in reserve, having just revealed that the update will add military wunderkind Alexander the Great to the base game for free.
As you'd probably expect from one of the ancient world's most renowned generals, Alexander's playstyle is all about making war, receiving a natural +2 combat strength bonus for land military units. More specifically, though, Alexander's all about making a name for himself. Not only are towns that are converted into cities renamed after Alexander, but building a wonder in cities outside your capital also conveys a host of bonuses to his Civ.
