Firaxis Games has released a new gameplay video of Civilization 6. In the new video the development studio introduces the country Kongo.
In the game the Kingdom of Kongo is lead by Mvemba a Nzinga, famous for spreading Christianity in his kingdom. Nzinga worked with the Portogese to modernize his country.
Nzinga’s road to becoming king was paved with conflict. In 1506, he defeated his half-brother Mpanzu a Nzinga’s forces in open conflict to claim the throne.
Accounts attributed his victory to the appearance of an apparition of Saint James the Great breaking the morale of the enemy, thus leading to Christianity becoming the royal faith during Nzinga’s rule.
The Mbanza were cities and towns in the Kongo that originated before European influence was established. These cities, located deep in the jungle, were much larger than their Medieval Era counterparts elsewhere.
As these cities grew, crafting occupations proliferated the cities and became the ruling class. The capital of the Kongo was aptly named Mbanza Kongo.
