Tamar (Civ6)

Tamar (c. 1160 – 18 January 1213), commonly known as Tamar the Great, was queen of Georgia from 1184 until her death. Her reign is considered the zenith of the Georgian Golden Age, a period of significant political and military successes and great cultural and literary achievements. She leads the Georgians in Civilization VI: Rise and Fall.
Through faith and influence, Tamar is a fierce defender of both her homeland and the lesser states under her protection.
== Intro ==
 Fierce Tamar, only a fool could misjudge Georgia's true measure. Hound your enemies with loyal clansmen who strike from the hills. Encourage your foes to dash their best against your cities' enduring walls. The armies of your protectorates will run them down as they flee. If you suffer no fools, great queen, Georgia will not suffer.
== In-Game ==
Tamar's unique agenda is Narikala Fortress. She tries to fortify her cities with the most advanced Walls available and dislikes civilizations that do not keep their cities fortified.
Her leader ability is Glory of the World, Kingdom and Faith. She gains from combat victories equal to 50% of the Combat Strength of the defeated unit and a bonus for each one they send to a city-state that follows their majority religion.
== Detailed Approach ==
Securing a strong religion quickly is a must for Georgia. Gaining allies in neighboring city-states and spreading her religion there is a key advantage for Tamar in the war for religious dominance. Defending her city-state allies using the Protectorate War Casus Belli vastly strengthens her religious power, and in turn assures a strong influence there. Pride and achievements will bless her Georgia with a Golden Age that shines brighter than any other civilization. Use these important moments in time to slingshot Georgia ahead of the competition to an ultimate victory.
== Lines ==
Tamar is voiced by Ana Makharadze. She speaks modern Georgian with some medieval stylization. For example, the plural form of გული (guli, "heart") in her Attacked line is გულნი (gulni) instead of the modern გულები (gulebi).
