Teddy Roosevelt (Civ6)/Rough Rider

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (27 October 1858 – 6 January 1919) was the 26th President of the United States, best known for his vigorous foreign policy that sought to turn the United States into an international great power, as well as for his progressive reforms and conservation of nature. He leads the Americans in Civilization VI.
Rough Rider Teddy wields a big stick on his continent, but if you leave him alone he will stay peaceful.
This is one of Teddy Roosevelt's two alternate personas, the other being Bull Moose Teddy.
== Intro ==
 And so it is upon your broad shoulders, Theodore Roosevelt, to charge forth and lead your people on their great adventure. Use your military might to give the peoples of your homeland the square deal they so desperately deserve. Surely you will raise America into the limelight and attract visitors from across the oceans just to see your lands. Bully for you, Mr. President.
== In-Game ==
Rough Rider Teddy's unique agenda is Big Stick Policy. He likes civilizations that have a city on his home continent and remain peaceful, while disliking those that start wars in his home continent.
His leader ability is Roosevelt Corollary. His units receive additional Combat Strength when fighting on his home continent, and each sent to a city-state with which America has a will count as two s. He also gains the Rough Rider unique unit after researching Rifling.
== Detailed Approach ==
Rough Rider Teddy Roosevelt enjoys +5 Combat Strength on his home continent and the ability to bring city-states under their sway through trade. He wants to expand rapidly across his continent while gaining the support of all nearby city-states. The Founding Fathers' civilization ability makes his choice of government important and can set him up for any victory type. His two post-Industrial unique units, including his favored Rough Riders, make him able to hit especially hard from the 20th Century onwards.

Teddy Roosevelt is voiced by Richard Tatum. He speaks American English.
