This strategy game expansion, released in 2017 for PC (Microsoft Windows) and Nintendo Switch, enhances the core gameplay of *Civilization VI*. It introduces the Khmer and Indonesian civilizations, each designed to provide distinct strategic opportunities and gameplay styles.

Civilizations

The Khmer civilization, led by Jayavarman VII, emphasizes religious dominance and the strategic use of river systems for expansion. Their unique ability, Grand Barays, grants food and faith bonuses for Holy Sites constructed on rivers. The Khmer unique unit, the Domrey, functions as a potent siege weapon. Their unique building, the Prasat, replaces the Temple and generates Great Prophet points each turn, facilitating the founding of religions.

Indonesia, led by Dyah Gitarja, focuses on naval power and coastal expansion. Their unique ability, Great Nusantara, provides additional culture from coastal tiles and allows coastal city centers to generate faith. The Jong, Indonesia's unique unit, is a powerful naval unit replacing the Frigate. The Kampung, their unique improvement, provides housing, production, and food when built on coastal tiles, encouraging coastal city development.

What is the Path to Nirvana Scenario?

The expansion includes the Path to Nirvana scenario, challenging players to spread their religion across Southeast Asia. This scenario offers a more focused and shorter gameplay experience compared to the standard *Civilization VI* campaign.

Additional Features

The pack introduces new natural and world wonders, adding variety to map generation and strategic options. These wonders provide unique bonuses and opportunities for civilizations to exploit during gameplay.

Core Gameplay

The core gameplay loop involves building an empire, researching technologies, developing culture, and engaging in diplomacy or warfare with other civilizations. The Khmer and Indonesia Civilization & Scenario Pack enriches this formula by introducing civilizations with unique strengths and playstyles, alongside a dedicated scenario that presents a distinct type of challenge.
