How To Make Great Scientists in Civilization VI

Great Scientists are powerful units in Civilization VI that can accelerate your technological progress and unlock special bonuses for your civilization. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the straightforward process of earning and recruiting Great Scientists so you can maximize your scientific output.

Building Science Infrastructure

To earn Great Scientist points, you’ll need to construct science-related buildings and wonders throughout your civilization. The key structures that generate Great Scientist points include:

Campuses

Libraries

Universities

Research Labs

Research Stations

All science-related wonders

Building these structures is the foundation of generating Great Scientist points. The more science buildings you construct, the faster you’ll accumulate points toward recruiting your Great Scientist.

Claiming Your Great Scientist

As you accumulate Great Scientist points, you’ll notice a “Claim a Great Person” button appear in the bottom right corner of your screen.

When you click this button, you’ll see your progress toward earning a Great Scientist. You have two options for recruitment:

Option 1: Earn Naturally

Continue building science structures and gathering points until you have enough to recruit the Great Scientist for free.

Option 2: Pay to Recruit

If you don’t want to wait, you can pay to instantly recruit a Great Scientist. This is a quick way to get your Great Scientist on the board immediately, especially if you need the scientific boost right away.

Conclusion

Making Great Scientists in Civilization VI is a simple process: build science-related buildings and wonders, accumulate Great Scientist points, and then recruit your Great Scientist either by earning enough points naturally or by paying to speed up the process. With a strong science infrastructure in place, you’ll be able to recruit Great Scientists regularly and maintain a technological edge over your opponents.
