The "Rise and Fall" expansion will add its fair share of Civs to "Civilization VI." But beyond that, it will also introduce a new leader for one of the Civs already included in the game.

Announced just recently by the developers, Chandragupta Maurya is going to become the second leader available for the India Civ.

Chandragupta built up his own army, led it, and eventually overthrew the Nanda dynasty and expanded his kingdom.

By now, players may have already noticed that Chandragupta is quite different from Mahatma Gandhi, the other leader of the India Civ already included in the game.

That is no accident, and Chandragupta is being added in part so that players have more options whenever they are controlling the India Civ.

As was explained in Chandragupta's "First Look" video, he will allow players to utilize a more aggressive style of play.
