How to Play as Abraham Lincoln
To fully utilize Emancipation Proclamation, players must strategically expand their cities in the early game to generate more Industrial Zones and free Melee units. However, this may require settling near Plantation resources, which can result in a -2 Loyalty penalty. Nevertheless, this penalty is easily manageable and can be canceled out by the Industrial Zone bonus. Additionally, players must ensure that their Melee units are always up-to-date with the latest Technology level to maximize their combat effectiveness. With the availability of Industrial Zones and the Workshop building in the early/mid-game, players can generate two Melee units for each City, providing a strong foundation for a successful Civilization 6 Domination Victory.
Players also have the option to focus on expanding their personal territory by conquering City States and Cities from other Civilizations using the surplus of free units. This strategy can lead to a strong economic foundation necessary for achieving a Science, Culture, or Diplomatic Victory, which are all achievable under Abraham Lincoln's rule. Civilization 6 is easily accessible on various platforms including iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
