Hungary

Hungary rewards an aggressive relationship with city-states — raiding the weak ones and recruiting the strong, building a military identity around opportunism.

Unique Ability

Pearl of the Danube: Districts and buildings built across a River from a City Center get a +50% Production bonus.

Unique Unit: Black Army

A powerful mounted unit recruited through Hungary's unique relationship with city-states.

Unique Infrastructure

Hungary has no unique building or district — its strength comes entirely from its civilization ability and Black Army.

How to Play Hungary

  • Decide early whether a nearby city-state is worth conquering or courting — Hungary benefits from either approach.
  • Use the Black Army as a strong, flexible strike force rather than a purely defensive unit.
  • Don't neglect city-state envoys even if you're leaning toward a military strategy overall.
