The Apostle is a religious unit in Civilization VI. Each civilization has access to this unit.

Overview[]

With their high Religious Strength and versatility, Apostles are the workhorse religious unit.

Apostles can perform the following actions:

  • Initiate Theological Combat by attacking opposing religious units.
  • Spread Religion, similar to Missionaries.
  • Evangelize Belief, adding a new belief to a religion. (Expends the Apostle, requires 3 charges.)
  • Start Inquisition, unlocking the ability to purchase Inquisitors with Faith. (Expends the Apostle, requires 3 charges.)

All Apostles start with a choice between two random Promotions. The Mont St. Michel wonder grants the Martyr promotion for free after the random Promotions are generated.
