Civilization VI Android Update: Complete with All Units and Maps

Exciting news for fans of *Sid Meier’s Civilization VI* on Android! The mobile version is finally receiving a major update that brings it up to speed with all other platforms. This long-awaited update, scheduled to drop on June 12th, ensures Android players will have access to the same content, features, and gameplay improvements as their PC and console counterparts—including the addition of all units to *Civilization VI Android*.

New Units, Maps, Modes, and a Bunch of Fixes

Aspyr is delivering a substantial update aimed at enhancing the mobile experience and making *Civilization VI* feel more complete than ever. Among the key additions are three new military units:

  • Trebuchet – A powerful Medieval-era siege unit that upgrades from the Catapult and later evolves into the Bombard.
  • Man-At-Arms – Replaces the Swordsman and upgrades into the Musketman, offering improved combat effectiveness.
  • Line Infantry – An Industrial-era unit that follows the Musketman and eventually becomes Infantry, providing better stats and battlefield performance.

In addition to new units, two brand-new maps are being introduced:

  • Mediterranean Large Map – Features detailed terrain and realistic resource placement, with an option to start near your civilization’s historical capital.
  • Earth Huge Map – Offers a vast world with accurate geography and similar starting options for historical capitals.

The update also introduces fresh gameplay modes designed to shake up your strategy:

  • Tech and Civic Shuffle Mode – Randomizes tech and civic progression within each era, creating unpredictable paths to victory.
  • Barbarian Clans Mode – Replaces standard Barbarians with seven distinct clans that can evolve into City-States, adding depth to early-game encounters.

To further customize your games, two new selection tools are coming:

  • Natural Wonder Picker – Choose which natural wonders appear on the map.
  • City-State Picker – Decide which city-states will be available for diplomacy or conquest.

You’ll also gain access to the Leader Selection Pool, allowing you to choose from a curated list of leaders—including the legendary Julius Caesar—offering greater flexibility in shaping your empire's destiny.

Civilization VI Android Is Bringing Two New Passes Alongside All Units and Maps

This update isn’t just about free content—it also unlocks premium expansions for Android players. On June 12th, both the New Frontier Pass and the Leader Pass will become available:

  • New Frontier Pass ($29.99) – Includes eight new civilizations, nine new leaders, and six innovative game modes previously exclusive to other platforms.
  • Leader Pass ($19.99) – Adds 12 new leaders and six alternate versions of classic ones, giving veteran players fresh strategic options.

These passes bring even more variety and replayability to the already deep strategy experience of *Civilization VI Android*.

If you haven’t already, grab the game from the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aspyr.civilizationvi) and prepare for one of the biggest updates in the game’s mobile history!
