Peter (Civ6)

Peter I (9 June 1672 – 8 February 1725), more commonly known as Peter the Great, was tsar of Russia from 1682 until his death. During his reign, he greatly expanded the borders of the Russian Empire, turning it into a major political player in Europe, and modernized Russia's traditional culture and politics through the introduction of Western-style reforms inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment. He leads the Russians in Civilization VI.
Peter's Russia is the spreading amoeba you don't want next door. He is great at absorbing all the land, technologies, and civics around him!
== Intro ==
 Embrace the chill winds of the Motherland, Tsar Peter. Your fascination with science and culture is a gift, and you will learn much from your Grand Embassies to other lands. Under your rule, Russia will surely flourish and spread, absorbing all that lies around it, perhaps creating the greatest land empire seen on this earth.
== In-Game ==
Peter's unique agenda is Westernizer. He is friendly to civilizations that are ahead of him in civics and technologies, and dislikes backwards civilizations that are behind in civics and technologies.
His leader ability is The Grand Embassy. Russia can receive or from s to more advanced civilizations.
== Detailed Approach ==
Peter's bonuses are ideal for taking over large swaths of territory for two reasons. First, Russia's cities innately cover more territory once settled as a result of their unique civ ability. Secondly, Peter's Lavras grant extra tiles for their cities whenever he expends a Great Person. With proper strategy, Russia will quickly amass great swaths of land. Combined with Peter's leader ability to absorb and from their respective leading civilizations, and you have a very powerful empire that can win with any type of victory.
