The expansion for real-time strategy (RTS) history-inspired game "Civilization 6" will be getting its first expansion, "Rise and Fall," in just over a month. New civilizations or civs have been revealed the past month, and now, another one has just been released. Georgia will soon be invading lands as well.

As with any civ in the game, Georgie will have its own unique ability, structure, and of course, their own unique unit. Ruled by Queen Tamar, she and Georgia will have an ability called "Glory of the World, Kingdom, and Faith," which can only be activated after completing the Theology civic.

This unique ability allows players to declare Protectorate War. Compared to regular wars, there are three bonuses that happen: the troops get bonus Faith after the declaration, the entire civilization gain various bonuses as religion is being spread about, and finally, envoys will get twice the effect when sent to city-state with the religion of the majority.

Georgia itself has its own unique ability called "Strength in Unity." This is best utilized when the civ is in its Golden Moment or Era. When a Dedication is done during then, you receive both the Normal Age and Golden Age bonuses as players increase their Era Score, seemingly doubling the effect as well.

Last but not the least is the Khevsureti and the Tsikhe, which is Georgia's unique unit and unique structure, respectively. The Khevsureti gets bonus Combat Strength and travels on hills, treating it like a normal terrain, meaning that it gets no movement penalty. The Tsikhe, on the other hand, raises defense and gives bonus faith. It is their own version of the Renaissance Walls, but it costs a lot cheaper.

The "Rise and Fall" expansion will be coming out on Feb. 8, 2018. Other new civs will also be coming to the game by then including the Cree, Netherlands, Mongolia, Korea, and several others.
