Qin Shi Huang (Civ6)/Unifier

Qin Shi Huang (18 February 259 – 10 September 210 BC), born Ying Zheng, was the first emperor of China and the founder of the Qin dynasty. Originally the king of the state of Qin, he put an end to the Warring States period through a series of military campaigns that led to the unification of China. He leads the Chinese in Civilization VI.
Barbarians are your allies to recruit with your Melee units to unify the world under Qin's banner.
This is one of Qin Shi Huang's two alternate personas, the other being Mandate of Heaven Qin Shi Huang.
== Intro ==
 In your people lies your greatest strength, Emperor Qin Shi Huang. From all over the world, others will come to gaze upon the great walls and towering wonders of your united China. May the hands of your men never blister as they work hard and fast to raise the most impressive structures that the world will ever know. Protect them well, and you will forever be immortalized.
== In-Game ==
Qin Shi Huang's unique agenda is Sihai. He wants Barbarians to follow his side, dislikes civilizations that destroy Barbarian outposts and likes those who leave Barbarians alone.
His leader ability is Thirty-Six Stratagems. His melee units gain access to the unique Convert Barbarians action, which will consume the unit but transform all adjacent Barbarians into Chinese units.
== Detailed Approach ==
Qin is best when he lets Barbarians begin their invasion, and then turns them over to his side, a strategy that may involve sacrificing a Melee unit to get an army of Barbarians. He can further protect his empire with the Great Wall's added defense and the Crouching Tiger. Use his extra Eurekas and Inspirations to unlock more powerful units, and move forward to a Domination victory with your Barbarian converts.
== Lines ==
Qin Shi Huang is voiced by Junchao Huang. He speaks Mandarin Chinese, though he utilizes the Classical Chinese vocabulary and grammar reserved for scholars and government officials in Ancient Imperial China.
Notably, Qin Shi Huang uses the pronoun "寡人" (guǎ rén) to address himself (instead of "朕" (zhèn), the personal pronoun reserved for emperors), even though this pronoun was used by vassal kings, such as Qin Shi Huang himself before he became the emperor of China. According to Records of the Grand Historian, Qin Shi Huang used "朕" (zhèn) for 9 years, from 221 to 212 BCE, then changed to "真人" (zhēn rén, a term very closely related to Taoism) due to his obsession with seeking immortality, shortly before his death in 210 BCE.
