Lautaro (Civ6)

Leftraru (c. 1534 – 29 April 1557), better known as Lautaro, was a young Mapuche toqui, known for escaping captivity under Spanish governor Pedro de Valdivia and afterwards turning his captors' tactics against them while leading the resistance against the Spanish conquest of Chile. He leads the Mapuche in Civilization VI: Rise and Fall.
The Mapuche maintain a strong Loyalty within their people, and can be a formidable foe on the battlefield, both offensively and defensively.
== Intro ==
 You did not liberate the Mapuche, young Lautaro—you inspired them to free themselves. Build totems to honor your ancestors and embolden their descendants. Such pride will fill the hearts of your cavalry as they redouble their raids into enemy lands. Stand with the Mapuche, axe-bearer, and cast a singular shadow.
== In-Game ==
Lautaro's unique agenda is Spirit of Tucapel. He tries to keep his cities' Loyalty high, dislikes civilizations that lose cities due to low Loyalty and likes civilizations that earn cities through Loyalty pressure.
His leader ability is Swift Hawk. Mapuche units gain +10 Combat Strength when fighting civilizations in Golden or Heroic Ages, as well as when fighting Free Cities. Defeating a unit within the borders of an enemy city causes that city to lose 20 Loyalty, or 40 Loyalty if that city belongs to a civilization in a Golden or Heroic Age.
== Detailed Approach ==
The Mapuche will want to acquire a Governor early, using them both to strengthen Loyalty in their cities as well as granting their combat units the ability to gain experience faster on the battlefield. When at war, the Mapuche need not fear an opponent benefitting from a Golden Age. When going on the offense, fight within your opponent's borders to weaken the Loyalty in their cities. Use this to your advantage to create unrest to slow their production or cause them to lose cities that are already disloyal. The Mapuche Malón Raider is a powerful assault unit, but don't neglect training them even with a defensive strategy, as they are excellent at defending their borders from attack. A late game Culture victory is also a possibility for the Mapuche with strategic placement of their Chemamull improvement.

Lautaro is voiced by Anthony Nahuelhual. He speaks Mapudungun.

== Trivia ==
* Lautaro's leader ability is a direct translation of his name in Mapudungun, while his leader agenda references his role as a commander in the Battle of Tucapel.
* Lautaro's diplomacy screen depicts the Salto del Laja in Chile, a sacred site for the Mapuche.
* Lautaro is sometimes seen carrying a rapier on his diplomacy screen. When denouncing a player, he carries a stone tomahawk instead.
** Him carrying a rapier, despite being of European origin compared to his tomahawk, is a reference to his great victory against the Spanish. In fact, his rapier's in-game model is the same as the one used by Philip II, and bears the same Firaxis logo.
* By being portrayed as a teenager, Lautaro is the youngest leader at the time of their depiction in Civilization VI and its expansions.
