Kristina (Civ6)

Kristina (18 December 1626 – 19 April 1689) was queen of Sweden from 1632 until her abdication in 1654. One of the most learned women of her time, her interest in philosophy, science and art led her to correspond with notable scientists and scholars such as Grotius, Gassendi, Descartes and Pascal, seeking to attract them to Stockholm in order to transform the city into the "Athens of the North". She leads the Swedes in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm.
Kristina uses the politics of the World Congress and culture to win diplomatic victories.
== Intro ==
 Minerva of the North, unmatched in learning and wisdom, you chose a life of culture over that of power. Light up your kingdom with art and music. Let Sweden be the guiding star for other civilizations to follow. Once more the world has a need for great patrons of the arts and culture—and it looks to you.
== In-Game ==
Kristina's unique agenda is Bibliophile. She tries to collect as many Great Works as possible and dislikes civilizations with a large number of Great Works.
Her leader ability is Minerva of the North. All her buildings with three or more Great Work slots and all her wonders with two or more Great Work slots are automatically themed once their slots are filled, and she is able to build the Queen's Bibliotheque in her Government Plaza.
== Detailed Approach ==
Sweden is particularly effective at the World Congress and can exercise additional influence beyond what any other civilization can do. Kristina gives theming bonuses to buildings that fill all their Great Work slots (provided they have at least two slots). With the Open-Air Museum and the Queen's Bibliotheque, Sweden has excellent and capabilities. This is a civilization that can conquer the world through soft power.
== Lines ==
Kristina is voiced by MTAG. She speaks Modern Swedish with occasional archaic phrasing/vocabulary. She uses formal pronouns ("ni", "era") to address the player, except in her Disapproval line.

Codename 	Quote (English translation) 	Quote (Modern Swedish) 	Notes
Agenda-based Approval 	I’ve just acquired a new work and will host a viewing soon. Your emissaries are invited to attend. (lit. "I recently received a brand new piece of art and I will be hosting an art show soon. Your envoys are invited.")	Jag har nyligen fått ett helt nytt konstverk och jag ska vara värd snart för en konstvisning. Era sändebud äro inbjudna. 	
Agenda-based Disapproval	I suppose you think art is great when it ties a room together, you philistine. (lit. "I presume that you only view art as good when it unites the aesthetics of the room, you philistine dog!") 	Jag förmodar att du bara synar konst i god när den förenar rummets estetik, din borgarbracka! 	
Attacked 	Sweden will chastise those who threaten the world. Prepare yourself for war! 	Sverige ska tukta dem som hotar världen. Förbered er på krig! 	
Declares War 	Sweden will do her part to push back the evils of the world. Art is one way to do this—war with you is another. 	Sverige skall göra sin del för att hålla världens ondska stången. Konst är ett sätt att uppnå detta, krig mot er ett annat.	
Defeated 	I never loved power, and now I am left without art. Only regret and loss remain for me. 	Jag älskade aldrig makt, och nu saknar jag konsten. Bara ånger och förlust återstår för mig. 	
Greeting 	I am Kristina, queen of Sweden, patron of arts and letters. Do I greet a fellow lover of learning? 	Jag är Kristina, Sveriges drottning. Patron av konst och litteratur. Hälsar jag en annan kunskapsälskande person? 	
Quote from Civilopedia 	Happiness does not lie in the opinion of others. 	Glädje ligger ej i andras opinioner. 	This is a quote from the book Maxims of a Queen, published in 1907 by Una Birch from a selected compilation and translation of Kristina's writings.

Delegation: I send you a gift of bandy sticks, pickled herring, lingonsylt, and knäckebröd. Don't eat the bandy sticks.
Accepts a Delegation: I will accept your delegation, and they will stay as my honored guests. My Dramaturge has a new work to share for them.
Refuses a Delegation: Sweden has no need of these petty trifles.
Accepts Player's Declaration of Friendship: I do consider you a friend! I should be delighted to share this with the world.
Rejects Player's Declaration of Friendship: I think you confuse your admiration of me with friendship. We are not yet friends. Perhaps someday.
Requests Declaration of Friendship: Will you join me as we tell the world that our nations are friends with one another? We will surely inspire them all.
Player Accepts Declaration of Friendship: I agree.
Player Rejects Declaration of Friendship: This cannot be.
Trade Deal Accepted: This is a fair exchange.
Denounced by Player: I will tell the whole world of your villainy, of your boorishness, of your perfidy!
Denounces Player: In Sweden, we have many amusing folk songs that depict you as a villain. Even the simplest arts imitate truths of life.
Too Many Troops Near Her Border: Do not march your units up and down along our border like a child playing with toy soldiers. Move them now.
Invitation to Capital: I will inform your delegates of the location of our capital, but I expect that you will grant us the same favor.
Invitation to City: Your representatives are most welcome to come and view my collections for themselves.
Invitation Accepted: Sweden thanks you, as do I.

== Trivia ==
* Kristina's leader ability is a title that compared her to the Roman goddess of wisdom, warfare, and the arts, while her leader agenda references her extensive collection of art and literature.
* Unlike most other leaders, Kristina is known by her native name rather than her anglicized name ("Christina").
* Historically, Kristina converted to Catholicism in 1654, but her preferred religion is Protestantism in-game. This likely reflects the prevailing views of Swedes during Kristina's rule and the predominance of Lutheranism in Sweden.
* Kristina is a descendant of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Frederick Barbarossa, and Harald Hardrada.
* Kristina's father, Gustavus Adolphus, is a Great General in Civilization VI. He is also the Swedish leader in Civilization V: Gods & Kings.
