This pack, one of six included in the Civilization VI: New Frontier Pass, introduces Lady Six Sky as the leader of the Maya and Simón Bolívar as the leader of Gran Colombia. The Maya can build prosperous city centers early in the game, supported by surrounding Farms and Plantations and protected by their unique Hul’che ranged unit. Gran Colombia focuses on fast armies boosted by Simón Bolivar’s powerful Comandante Generals.
The Maya & Gran Colombia Pack also adds the Apocalypse game mode, six new City-States, two new Resources, and three new Natural Wonders. More details below:

- Unique District: The Observatory replaces the Campus and adds a minor adjacency bonus with Farms and a major adjacency bonus with Plantations.
