Great Writer (Civ6)

The Great Writer is a type of Great Person in Civilization VI dedicated to the creation of Great Works of Writing. Each Great Writer may be activated up to two times on a tile containing a free slot which accepts Great Works of Writing (such as a Theater Square district with an Amphitheater, a Palace, or suitable wonder), creating up to two Great Works of Writing.
The Māori cannot claim Great Writers.
==Earning Great Writers==
Great Writers may be claimed by any player who has earned enough Great Writer points. Theater Squares generate +1 Great Writer point per turn, +2 more if the city has built the Oracle, and provide an additional point for the first two buildings completed in that district. (For example, a Theater Square with an Amphitheater and Archaeological Museum would generate +3 Great Writer points per turn.) The Russian Lavra also provides +1 Great Writer point if there is a Shrine in it. Additional points may also be earned by completing the Theater Square Performances project in a city with a Theater Square. Players who do not have enough points may patronize a Writer by paying the difference using or .
The Bolshoi Theatre provides +2 Great Writer points each turn, and the Broadway wonder provides +3 Great Writer points every turn. In Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, the Great Library also provides +1 Great Writer point per turn.
Players can also increase their Great Writer point yields by using the Literary Tradition policy card, which generates +2 Great Writer points per turn.
The Divine Spark pantheon bonus and the Stockholm Suzerain bonus (or Bologna in Gathering Storm) both increase the number of Great Writer points generated from each Theater Square by +1. (Note that in Rise and Fall, Stockholm's bonus is only active if the Theater Square has a completed Amphitheater building.)
All Great Writer point yields are doubled if Pingala with the Grants title is present in the city.

==Strategy==
Great Writers will be among your earliest and most reliable sources of , as the Great Works they create can start filling slots in Amphitheaters from the Classical Era onward (or Markets if playing as Sundiata Keita). The only wonders with slots specifically for Great Works of Writing are the Bolshoi Theatre, Broadway, the Great Library, and Oxford University, so if you build these wonders, try to attract some Great Writers to fill their slots as well.
In vanilla Civilization VI and Rise and Fall, each Great Work of Writing yields 4 and 4 ; in Gathering Storm, most of them yield 2 and 2 instead. Great Works of Writing created by the Great Writers added in the Babylon Pack (Valmiki, Rumi, Beatrix Potter, and Gabriela Mistral) yield 4 and 4 under all rulesets. Researching Printing doubles the yields of all Great Works of Writing.
Being the Suzerain of Anshan provides +2 for each Great Work of Writing.
