If you include all of the 4X game's expansions, there are 50 Civilization 6 civs to pick from. That means a whole lot of different approaches to try, strategies to master, and leaders to, well, lead with. So, it's natural that among that number there will be some strong fan favourites - especially when paired with (pretty broken) community strats - and some lesser-used and celebrated civs. The Civ 6 community has been sharing what they reckon are the strategy game's most 'underrated' civs, so now some of them can get their time in the limelight.
User ChapNotYourDaddy has put the question to the game's subreddit community, asking for its input as they'd like to try out some other civs. They offer up the Netherlands and its leader Wilhelmina as their own pick of most 'underrated' civ and leader, but 'underrated' is of course a bit of a subjective term, so there's plenty of variety in the community's answers based on their own interpretations on which civs are hot (or not).
One name that emerges in the comments is the Native American civilization of Cree, whose leader is Poundmaker and ability is Nîhithaw, which gives them some extra trade route capacity, a free trader (if they've researched pottery), and control access to some tiles surrounding their cities if a trader travels through them. User Sieve_Sixx says that the Cree aren't overpowered, but notes "their bonuses kick in early which really helps you get going", along with their versatility and fun bonuses.
