Teddy Roosevelt (Civ6)

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (27 October 1858 – 6 January 1919) was the 26th President of the United States, best known for his vigorous foreign policy that sought to turn the United States into an international great power, as well as for his progressive reforms and conservation of nature. He leads the Americans in Civilization VI.
Teddy wields a big stick on his continent, but if you leave him alone he will stay peaceful. Just don't try to outrace him to a Culture Victory.
This is the standard version of Teddy Roosevelt when players do not have the Persona Packs enabled. When they are enabled, Teddy Roosevelt will be split into two alternate personas: Rough Rider Teddy, with a new appearance and a variation of his former abilities, and Bull Moose Teddy, using his former model but with new abilities.
== Intro ==
 And so it is upon your broad shoulders, Theodore Roosevelt, to charge forth and lead your people on their great adventure. Use your military might to give the peoples of your homeland the square deal they so desperately deserve. Surely you will raise America into the limelight and attract visitors from across the oceans just to see your lands. Bully for you, Mr. President.
== In-Game ==
Teddy Roosevelt's unique agenda is Big Stick Policy. He likes civilizations that have a city on his home continent and remain peaceful, while disliking those that start wars in his home continent.
His leader ability is Roosevelt Corollary. His units receive a +5 Combat Strength bonus on the American home continent, and all tiles in a city with a National Park receive +1 Appeal. America under Roosevelt can also build the Rough Rider when Rifling is researched.
== Detailed Approach ==
Early in the game, the only American advantage is +5 Combat Strength on their home continent. They will want to expand fast across their continent and move to gain the support of the nearby city-states. With double-strength government legacy bonuses, their choice of government is important, though Classical Republic and Democracy are the most helpful with America's preference: a Culture Victory. With their Film Studio, National Park bonus, and two post-Industrial unique units, they shine from the 20th century onwards.

Teddy Roosevelt is voiced by Richard Tatum. He speaks American English.
