Victoria (Civ6)

Victoria (24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death, as well as empress of India since 1876. Her 63-year reign, one of the longest in history, saw the British Empire achieve the height of its expansion, as well as experience sweeping economic, cultural and political transformations, and became known as the Victorian Era in her honor. She leads the English in Civilization VI.
Victoria is a polite and gentle young lady as long as she is getting her way. But if you don't let her on your continent, she is not amused!
This is the standard version of Victoria when players do not have the Rulers of England Pack enabled. When it is enabled, Victoria will be split into two alternate personas: Age of Steam Victoria, with a new appearance and abilities, and Age of Empire Victoria, using her former model and abilities.
== Intro ==
 Your Majesty the Queen Victoria of England, extend your reach beyond your borders and across the face of the globe. Worry not over the possibility of defeat for your loyal redcoats and overwhelming navy will surely carry the day. With your calm and steady touch you can bring all lands under England's sway, establishing a true Pax Britannica.
== In-Game ==
Victoria's unique agenda is Sun Never Sets. She desires expansion to all the continents on the map, likes civilizations on her home continent, and dislikes civilizations on continents where she doesn't have cities.
Her leader ability is Pax Britannica. Founded cities outside of her home continent receive a free melee unit, and another one if a Royal Navy Dockyard is built there. It also grants access to the Redcoat unique unit when the Military Science technology is researched. In Civilization VI: Gathering Storm this ability has been changed; while she keeps the Redcoat, now only the first city founded on each continent other than her home continent is granted a free melee unit, but also grants +1 capacity. It also now grants a free naval unit upon building a Royal Navy Dockyard in any city, regardless of its continent; both of these free units will be the strongest she is capable of training.
== Detailed Approach ==
England (and Victoria) are masters of projecting British power across the globe to every continent. Initially she will use the Royal Naval Dockyard and her Sea Dogs to gain control of the seas, and then move in with Redcoats during the Industrial era and lock down her positions across the globe. This extended reach will complement England's doubled Archaeology, allowing them to get a big jump toward a Culture Victory.
== Lines ==
Victoria is voiced by Lucy Briggs-Owen. She speaks British English and uses the pluralis majestatis to refer to herself.

Codename 	Quote 	Notes
Agenda-based Approval 	Please accept my warmest thanks for your kind endeavors on the continent we share. 	
Agenda-based Disapproval	You tread on dangerous waters in the face of England and her loyal colonies. 	
Attacked 	War? We are not amused. 	This line uses her famous yet disputed quote, "We are not amused."wikiquote:Victoria of the United Kingdom#Disputed
Declares War 	As our protests are in vain, we hereby declare war. 	
Defeated 	This severe and afflicting loss will not be sustained, and England, thank providence, will ascend again. 	
Greeting 	Greetings. We are by the Grace of God, Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. And soon, dare I say, the empire.	Victoria doesn't say "Greetings" in her dialogue - this word appears only in the subtitles.
Quote from Civilopedia 	Do not let your feelings (very natural and usual ones) of momentary irritation and discomfort be seen by others. 	This is a quote from her letter to her firstborn named after herself - Victoria the Princess Royal.https://www.pressreader.com/canada/ottawa-citizen/20070514/281526516623065

Delegation: Greetings. We have sent a Royal envoy on behalf of the United Kingdom. We hope they are well received.
Rejects Delegation from Player: My Parliament does not approve.
Accepts Player's Declaration of Friendship: Yes, this pleases us. Our two nations will surely benefit from our friendship.
Rejects Player's Declaration of Friendship: It is too early to make such a commitment. We will reconsider when appropriate, naturally. You do understand?
Requests Declaration of Friendship: We are pleased to consider you an esteemed friend. We hope the feeling is mutual...
Trade Deal Accepted: You have been most kind and attentive.
Trade Deal Refused: How unfortunate.
Denounced by Player: The Queen wishes to warn those who disrespect her people and her mandate of the manifold troubles that will ensue.
Denounces Player: We will have nothing to do with your administration. You are hereby denounced.
Too Many Troops Near Her Border: Your army is not welcome at our borders. Remove them at once.
Invitation to Capital: In the interest of our political relationship, we would like to know more about your capital… in exchange for information on ours, of course.
Invitation to City: It is our distinct privilege to extend to you an invitation to visit the realm, which I imagine is rather simple due to our many colonies, of course.
Accepts Invitation from Player: We find this agreeable.

== Trivia ==
* Victoria's appearance in the final version of the game is different from her appearance in the early builds and promotional materials, which depicted her with a cleft in her chin.
* Victoria's leader ability is named after the period of British dominance over the world between 1815 and 1914, while her leader agenda is a common phrase used to describe empires so vast that it seemed it was always daytime in at least one part of their territory.
* Victoria's diplomacy screen shows Windsor Castle at noon.
* Victoria is descended from both Eleanor of Aquitaine and Frederick Barbarossa, as are several other leaders in the Civilization franchise, including another English leader, Elizabeth I.
** She is also a descendant of Robert the Bruce through her ancestor James, who unified the English and Scottish Royal Houses, and the successor of Elizabeth I.
* Victoria had a direct relationship with three other leaders in Civilization VI: she knighted Wilfrid Laurier into the Order of St Michael and St George during her Diamond Jubilee, she met a young Wilhelmina in 1895, and exchanged phonograph messages with Menelik.
* The sash Victoria wears is the riband of the Order of the Garter.
* The name of this persona references the period between 1815 and 1914, when the British Empire was the hegemonic power in the world, often known as the "imperial century".
