Although he never took the title in his lifetime, Julius Caesar is often seen as the first Roman Emperor. His conquest of the Gallic tribes and the defeat of his rival Pompey allowed him to secure unprecedented power over the senate, effectively ending the Roman Republic and beginning the Roman Empire. InCivilization 6, these achievements are reflected in his Leader Ability Veni, Vidi, Vici, which grants a large amount of Gold each time players conquer a new City ordestroy a Barbarian Outpost.
Updated on August 03, 2025, by Ashely Claudino:Even though Julius Caesar isn’t part of the Leader Pass, it was added alongside the first wave of the pack. On Jul 16, 2025, Civilization 6’s Leader Pass became available on consoles after months of being exclusive to PC. This made it possible for players to claim Julius Caesar as a leader on all platforms.
When the update was released, tweaks were made to the unique abilities of various Leader Pass leaders, and Julius Caesar’s Leader Ability, Veni, Vidi, Vici, also suffered some balanced changes. This guide was updated accordingly in order to remain accurate.
Julius Caesar’s Features & Abilities
As a Leader of Rome, Julius Caesar shares the same Civilization Ability, Unique Unit, and Unique Infrastructure as Trajan, theoriginal Roman Leader inCIvilization 6. However, while Trajan’s Leader Ability focuses on building strong infrastructure, Julius Caesar is all about the spoils of war and conquest.
With the tweaks made to the Veni, Vidi, Vici Leader Abilities, Julius Caesar is now more powerful than ever when battling Barbarians, and he can easily make hundreds of Gold in a single turn.
How to Play as Julius Caesar
As players might expect from one of the most famous Leaders of the Classical Era, Julius Caesar focuses heavily onCivilization 6’s early-game. The substantial Gold rewards from Veni, Vidi, Vici are most powerful at this time, where 100 Gold might represent a dozen turns of City income. By building up an early military, preferably with the powerful Legions at its core, Julius Caesar players can spread quickly across the map, finding and destroying Barbarian Outposts, conquering Cities and City States.
With a steady income of bonus Gold, Julius Caesar players can then decide whether to pour it back into their army inpursuit of a Domination Victory, or to rest on their laurels and use the money to super-charge the development of their own Cities. The Roman Baths Unique Infrastructure promotes large, powerful Cities, and with the extra territory and Gold from their conquests Julius Caesar players will be free to pursue theCivilization 6victory of their choice.
Civilization 6is available for iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
