The highly-acclaimed strategy game "Sid Meier's Civilization 6" is nearing its release date, and Firaxis Games — the developer behind the franchise — is hyping up the title even more with updates about what the game has to offer once it launches.

According to Mobile & Apps, the latest civilization to be introduced in the game is the Kingdom of Kongo, which has King Alfonso I as its ruler, also known as the Mvemba a Nzinga. The ruler is said to be one of the most steadfast advocates of Christianity, and as such he is known for attempting to spread the religion throughout his empire.

Of course, the introduction is pretty different compared to the "Civilization 6" game's predecessors. After all, the Zulus used to be the representative civilization for Sub-Saharan Africa.

Regardless, the civilization has various advantages, chief among which includes bonus food, production, and gold that come from the Great Works of Sculpture, Relics, and Artefacts. The Kongo also has the capabilities to generate Great Merchants as well as Great Artists much faster than other civilizations. Twice as fast, in fact.

However, there are some differences with the Kongo's gameplay style: instead of the militaristic rush the Zulu is known for, iDigitalTimes reports that the new Sub-Saharan Africa representative has a more flexible gameplay. The same militaristic rush approach can be used since they have a unique unit called the Ngao Mbeba, but other alternative methods can be applied, such as culture and religion.

Meanwhile, Game N Guide reports that players needs at least 2 GB RAM and a minimum of 15 GB free hard disk space in order to play "Sid Meier's Civilization 6" seamlessly. Also, other system requirements include at least an Intel Core2 Duo E6300 or similar caliber processor, as well as an NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT 512MB for the graphics card.

"Sid Meier's Civilization 6" will be released for the PC on Oct. 21.
