Cleopatra, Lich Queen of the Nile (Civ6)

is the twelfth in Civilization VI, running from October 16 to November 13, 2024.
== Intro ==
Get into the spooky Halloween spirit with this spine-tingling Zombie Defense scenario! As Ptolemaic Cleopatra, you alone have the power to command an army of the undead. For this challenge, Cleopatra's Warriors can convert Barbarians (all of whom happen to be the risen dead), but Warriors are the only Military Unit she can train. Rally the roaming hordes of zombified Barbarians to fight on your behalf and rule the world as an almighty Lich Queen!

== Strategy ==
Since you cannot train anything other than Warriors in this challenge, you should start by training at least two more to act as your scouts as well as your army creators. Start finding Barbarians and converting them, but be mindful of their maintenance cost - you should discover State Workforce and slot Conscription ASAP to offset it. In the meantime, keep clearing Barbarian outposts for and settle at least one more city to help with Loyalty issues. After that, expansion will become less important as now you are about to send a mob of Zombies at your enemies and conquer the world! Keep in mind how Zombies work and continue sacrificing enough of them to make others stronger while not letting every last one of your own die. Have fun becoming the Lich Queen of the Nile!
