Description


This isn't any dawn of man - it's the dawn of great men! And women! Now the Ancient era has its own great people. Bring your early-game powerhouses to proper glory with 13 new personalities who were among the very first in their field, pioneering the foundations of arts, philosophy, technology, science, commerce, and warfare that shape our lives up to this day.

Ancient Paragons adds two new Great Generals, Admirals, Engineers, Merchants, Prophets, Scientists, and Writers, each. All are assigned to the Ancient era, except for the Engineers, who are assigned to the Classical era.

Big thanks to the Civ 6 modding Helpline Discord server for inspiration and a lot of good ideas, in particular to Phantagonist, Zolaar, TheColdHands, Traditional Boywife, and all other of the Modder Pass II contributors!

Compatibility and Recommendations

Does not require any expansion but some bonuses are only available with either Rise & Fall or Gathering Storm. There are fallback bonuses for vanilla, however.

One of the Classical era Great Engineers is Imhotep, who is added by the Babylon DLC. For those without the DLC, Imhotep is added but with a generic bonus to rush wonders. No replacement is added to the Medieval era because there are still three Great Engineers available for it without him.

Grand Eras (Project 6T) is compatible but not required.

Anyone else having an issue with the Writings created by these 2 new Great Writers missing their icons in Quick Deals?

I was unsure how to mention him, yes. Just leaving him out would've been confusing. I did say "13 new GP" in the intro, not 14. And if you don't have the NFP / Babylon DLC, this mod will still add him. I think overall the description makes it clear what you're getting.

Why is Imhotep included in description when it's basically the same as vanilla? Or am I missing something..
