And obvs it additionally provides new civilisations, items, wonders, and so forth.
Your eight new civs in Rise and Fall are the Cree led by Poundmaker, Georgia led by Tamar, Seondeok’s Korea, Mapuche, Lautaro’s Mongolia, Wilhelmina and the Netherlands, Scotland with Robert the Bruce, and the Zulu led by Shaka, whereas India picks up a brand new chief too, Chandragupta.
