Matthias Corvinus (Civ6)

Matthias I (23 February 1443 – 6 April 1490), better known as Matthias Corvinus, was king of Hungary and Croatia from 1458 until his death. He is known for his creation of the Black Army, considered one of Europe's first professional standing armies, as well as for his patronage of scholarship, literature and art, being the first non-Italian ruler to embrace the Renaissance style. He leads the Hungarians in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm.
Matthias Corvinus uses the flowing rivers near his cities to recruit cavalry and city-states in his quest for domination.
== Intro ==
 Mighty Matthias, your feats at arms are matched only by the depths of your knowledge. Let your mighty Black Army serve as your strong hand in the battlefield, both as sword against your enemies and as shield protecting your faithful people, and ages to come will utter your name in awe.
== In-Game ==
Matthias Corvinus's unique agenda is Raven Banner. He often levies units from city-states and likes leaders who do the same. He dislikes leaders who shun mercenaries.
His leader ability is Raven King. He gains 2 s with a city-state when he levies units from it, and levied units receive +2 and +5 Combat Strength and can be upgraded at 25% of the normal resource and costs. It also allows him to produce the Black Army, a unique unit that replaces the Courser, is unlocked with Castles, and gains +3 Combat Strength for each adjacent levied unit.
== Detailed Approach ==
Hungary gains towards s and buildings in districts directly across a River from their City Centers. This aids them in developing cities rapidly so that they can spend more time producing military units. Matthias Corvinus gets two unique Cavalry units. The Black Army upgrades into their second unique unit, the Huszár, allowing them to dominate with their powerful military for a long period of the game. Matthias Corvinus' ability towards leveraging City-States gives Hungary's conquest extra units that help on the path towards victory. The Thermal Bath helps maintain the conquered cities by providing and preventing revolt.

Matthias Corvinus is voiced by Gabor Varga. He speaks Medieval Hungarian.

Codename 	Quote (English translation) 	Quote (Hungarian) 	Notes
Agenda-based Approval 	The quickest way to success is to levy the strengths of your little allies, wouldn't you agree? 	Hamar siker titka kicsiny szövetségesid megerősítése.. nemde? 	In Modern Hungarian, szövetségesid would be szövetségeseid ("your allies").
Agenda-based Disapproval	They say you pay your auxiliaries in patriotism. That and two pennies will buy them a beer. 	Mondják, csupán hazaszeretettel fizeted segédhadaidat. Ebbűl és két garasbúl megvan a sörük. 	The word used for pennies is garas, the Hungarian name for groschen.
Attacked 	Surely you had to know that one day there would be war between us. 	Tudhattad volna, hogy egy napon háborúság támad miköztünk. 	In Modern Hungarian, háborúság would be háború ("war"), and miköztünk would be replaced by the more common word közöttünk ("between us").
Declares War 	Your insolence has provoked this war, and I shall be happy to lead the Black Army to victory over you.	Pimaszságod okozá e háborúságot, és én boldogan viszem ellened győzelemre a Fekete Sereget. 	In Modern Hungarian, okozá would be okozta ("[it] has caused"), and háborúság would be háború as mentioned above.
Defeated 	Today you wear the victor's laurels, but can you keep what you have taken? 	Ma még a győzelem koszorúját hordod, de megtudod-é tartani, amit szereztél? 	In Modern Hungarian, megtudod-é would be meg tudod-e ("if you can...").
Greeting 	I am Matthias. I am King of Hungary, scourge of my foes, and defender of the faithful. Greetings. 	Mátyás vagyok. Én vagyok Magyarországnak királya, ellenségeim ostora, az igaz híveknek védelmezője. Üdvözöllek.	
Quote from Civilopedia 	Dead is Matthias; Justice is lost. 	Meghalt Mátyás. Oda az igazság. 	The English quote is probably taken from Britannica, which describes it as a "popular saying."https://www.britannica.com/biography/Matthias-I A similar proverb is listed in the Hungarian book Book of Hungarian Proverbshttps://www.arcanum.hu/hu/online-kiadvanyok/Szolasok-regi-magyar-szolasok-es-kozmondasok-1/erdelyi-janos-magyar-kozmondasok-konyve-2E62/m-42D8/5443-meghalt-matyas-kiraly-oda-az-igazsag-43B8/ by János Erdélyi.

Delegation: I am sending you gifts worthy of a prince: Fine lace, a crossbow emblazoned with your heraldry, and paprikash made from my family's recipe.
Accepts Player's Delegation: Thank you for the gifts of your delegation, and may your generosity be blessed.
Rejects Player's Delegation: We need no gifts nor their implicit obligations. Hungary is rich enough.
Accepts Player's Declaration of Friendship: Yes! There are few rulers who understand the burden of kings as well as you. I am glad to call you a friend.
Rejects Player's Declaration of Friendship: A king must choose his friends with great caution. It is not time for me to call you that.
Requests Declaration of Friendship: Do we not both rule with the acclaim of our people and the will of God? Should this not bind us as true friends before the world?
Player Accepts Declaration of Friendship: Yes, thanks be to God.
Trade Deal Accepted: A generous offer! I accept with a grateful heart.
Trade Deal Rejected: It would be beneath a prince's dignity to accept this offer.
Denounced by Player: You are a lawless snake, a grasping vulture, who would see the world cower before you. Know that I will never fear you!
Denounces Player: You pursue power—always and only power—but Hungary will resist you to the bitter end.
Too Many Troops Near His Border: The scouts of my armies have spent days following the progress of your armies near the border. Move them away from Hungary.
Invitation to Capital: I invite your people to learn of the capital of Hungary, but only if you grant me the same right.
Invitation to City: I will personally lead your delegates on a tour of my capital, that they may understand the power of Hungary more fully.
Accepts Invitation from Player: Yes. I agree to your terms on behalf of Hungary.
