A new playable leader is set to join the upcoming strategy game, “Civilization VII,” and it is no less than the Philippines’ Jose Rizal.
In a first look video, Sid Meier's Civilization introduced Rizal as a passionate defender of Filipinos’ rights.
“He first gained his reputation as a political activist in Europe, criticizing the Spanish rule of his homeland, and though he advocated for peaceful reform and equal rights, Rizal was eventually tried and executed by the Spanish,” Civilization VII’s website said.
The leader character’s starting bias on the map will be Tropical and his unique ability, “Pambansang Bayani,” will give extra Culture and Gold for every narrative event.
His agenda is “Kapwa,” which will “increase Relationship by a Medium Amount for the player with the most active Endeavors started. Decrease Relationship by a Medium Amount for the player with the most active Sanctions started.”
Other leader characters in the game are Catherine the Great, Lafayette, Benjamin Franklin, and more.
“Civilization VII” launches worldwide on February 11 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. —Carby Rose Basina/JCB, GMA Integrated News
