So basically, they give you maybe the best unit in the game to get an early advantage over your opponents, then give you something which can provide healthy, constant benefits throughout the rest of it. Sounds good! For whoever is playing as Nubia, anyway. Especially when you consider that her faction traits mean you get extra gold and resources from mines, and those archers train and get XP faster.

As with other Civ VI leader releases, Amanitore also includes a scenario you can play that pits Nubia against Egypt for control of the Nile.
