Elizabeth I (Civ6)

Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603), also known as the Virgin Queen, Gloriana and coloquially as Good Queen Bess, was queen of England and Ireland from 1558 until her death. During her reign, she established the foundations of Anglicanism, successfully defended England against the Spanish Armada, and sponsored a renaissance of English theatre through figures such as William Shakespeare. She leads the English in Civilization VI.
Would you be interested in a trade agreement with England? Controlling trade is the way to set England up for a new Elizabethan age.
== Intro ==
 Elizabeth Regina, Virgin queen of England and monarch of the seas, you command the wooden wall that defends England from those who would seize it. Guard yourself against intrigues at home and abroad, and let your captains set sail at your command. Bow your head to no one, and Britannia shall rule the waves!
== In-Game ==
Elizabeth I's unique agenda is Trade Agreement. She tries to have as many s as possible, likes civilizations that send s to her cities and dislikes civilizations that do not send s to her cities.
Her leader ability is Drake's Legacy. She receives +2 capacity upon recruiting her first . She also earns +3 for each specialty in the origin city when sending s to city-states and twice the normal yields for plundering s.
== Detailed Approach ==
Trade and s are the central focus with England under Elizabeth’s rule. The Royal Naval Dockyard gives you additional naval movement and points. Use the additional naval movement with the Sea Dog unit to plunder enemy s and receive increased booty with Drake’s Legacy. Once you receive your first you receive 2 extra s; send them to City-States to quickly fill your treasury.

Elizabeth I is voiced by Beth Goddard. She speaks British English.

Codename 	Quote 	Notes
Agenda-based Approval 	Thank you for your interest in a trade agreement with England. 	This is a reference to Elizabeth's infamous line from Civilization V when offering a trade agreement, which became a meme due to her insistence.
Agenda-based Disapproval	Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths. 	This line is taken from a letter written by Elizabeth in 1581.
Attacked 	Those who would touch the scepters of rulers deserve no pity. 	Elizabeth said this to the French ambassador about Charles de Gontaut's rebellion against Henry IV.
Declares War 	Let tyrants fear. 	This is part of Elizabeth's speech to the troops at Tilbury in 1588, before battling the Spanish Armada.
Defeated 	The rest... is silence. 	These are Prince Hamlet's last words in Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Greeting 	I am Elizabeth, Queen of Britannia, and only seek the most noble and stalwart allies.	
Quote from Civilopedia 	The world is watching, we reign on its stage. 	This may be a reference to a line from Shakespeare's As You Like It: "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."

Delegation: Here is something very, very new to the world - a hot boil of stimulating leaves, like a soup of sorts. It shall be known as "a cuppa."
Accepts Player's Declaration of Friendship: We share common cause.
Rejects Player's Declaration of Friendship: I am wed already, you see, to England.
Requests Declaration of Friendship: I may take no husband, but value a friend.
Player Accepts Declaration of Friendship: Friends - and commerce - only grow richer the more they increase in number.
Player Rejects Declaration of Friendship: Your words are fair, but we know that fair can be foul, and foul fair.
Denounced by Player: Wit warns me to shun such snares and falsehoods that now flow so freely.
Denounces Player: God may forgive you, but I never can.
Too Many Troops Near Her Border: I trust you, of course. But I would trust you much more if your soldiers were not wandering about next to my lands with weapons.
Invitation to Capital: Shall you see the lights of London turning the fog to gold?
Invitation to City: We seek to expand our view upon the world. Shall you do the same?
