*Apocalypse game mode requires the Gathering Storm expansion to play.
**Secret Societies and Dramatic Ages game modes require either the Rise and Fall or Gathering Storm expansions to play.
***Kublai Khan requires Rise and Fall expansion to play as Mongolia.

The individual packs can be purchased separately at an increased price. Players who pre-order the whole New Frontier Pass will also receive the Teddy Roosevelt and Catherine de Medici Persona Packs. The Persona Pack re-tools the leaders with a new leader model and background, plus new gameplay bonuses, and an updated agenda. The Persona Packs will be released with the second DLC in July.

New Game Modes

These are alternate modes for play, similar to mods; one will be included in each of the six DLC. At least some of them will "take some creative liberties with history." Some may include new units, buildings or tile improvements. Some require specific expansions (see above). They aren't scenarios like Red Death or Black Death; rather, they are systems and/or content additions to a normal game, and you can turn on as many as you want and have them active during the same playthrough.

While the first two game modes are somewhat fanciful, Anton Sprenger has asserted that many of the rest are more firmly rooted in history.

Apocalypse Mode

The first new mode arriving with the Maya & Gran Colombia pack will build on the disaster system in Gathering Storm (which will be required to use this mode). New disasters include comet strikes, forest fires, meteor showers and solar flares. There is a new Soothsayer unit which you can send to call down disasters on your enemies.

According to Anton, two of these new disasters will be added to the base game.
"The Maya & Gran Colombia pack adds 2 new disaster types for any game with Gathering Storm...these will scale along with your chosen intensity. Apocalypse Mode and its 2 special disasters will lock the intensity slider and turn it way up high behind the scenes."

• New Unit – Soothsayer
  • Can call upon the God of Destruction to cause a Natural Disaster. Doing this requires a Unit Charge. Once all charges have been used, the unit is removed.
  • Unit starts with 1 charge, but additional charges can be gained through their promotion tree.
• New Scored Competition – “Appease the Gods”
  • Players can use Soothsayers to sacrifice units to a volcano to gain points.
  • Soothsayers gain a new action: Appease - Target a friendly unit adjacent to a volcano and sacrifice them to gain score equal to their production cost.
  • Rewards include a free Soothsayer, Soothsayer promotions, and additional Faith per turn.
• New Game Ending Final Climate Stage – The Apocalypse
  • The world enters the Apocalypse upon hitting the final temperature increase.
  • Disasters are more powerful, frequent, and capable of destroying entire Civilizations over several turns.
• New Disasters
  • Comet Impact: Smashes into land tiles destroying improvements, units, districts, or even cities in the impact zone. Impacted tiles are replaced with an impassable Comet Lake.
  • Solar Flares: Affects the entire map. Pillages power-generating districts/buildings/improvements (except the Dam). Damages advanced units (GDRs especially).

Secret Societies mode

Due in the Ethiopia pack in July. Secret Societies requires either the Rise and Fall or Gathering Storm expansions to play.

"Discover the secret societies pulling the strings of civilization since the dawn of man. Only the most privileged have ever laid eyes on them. Each Society grants new unseen powers but make your selection carefully. Once a Society is joined, you can never leave.

This game mode adds four powerful and mysterious Secret Societies to the world. To make contact, seek out a Society where its influence might hide: Barbarian Camps, Tribal Villages, Natural Wonders, or City-States. Discovery is not guaranteed, but you are more likely to find a Society that other players have not discovered, or on continents where no Society has yet been discovered. Alternatively, invest in diplomatic visibility to learn about them from other leaders.

Discovering a Society unlocks a unique Governor with powerful bonuses, which players do not need to assign to a city. Once you become a member of a Society, you commit to membership for the rest of the game.

Alliances with players who are members of the same Society generate Alliance Points more quickly, and those players will have an improved opinion of you in diplomacy. Players who are members of a different Society, however, will dislike you once they are aware of your affiliation."

Secret Societies offer benefits to those they choose to join their ranks. Upon joining, you receive an additional governor with four unique promotions. These governors operate globally, and do not need to be assigned to a city. You can discover a Secret Society by investigating tribal villages early in the game, or you can discover them later in the game through diplomatic contact with another civilization that has previously discovered a Secret Society.

Note: The discovery of secret societies is random; you will not necessarily discover the applicable society the first time you perform the required action.

Hermetic Order: The Hermetic Order is a society of unorthodox scientists and alchemists. Their work focuses on science, great people, and resources.

• Initiation: Unlocked by discovering a Natural Wonder. Reveals the Ley Line resource on the map. Ley Lines give a standard adjacency bonus to all specialty districts.
• Ritual: Unlocked in Medieval Era. Allows you to construct the Alchemical Society building, a powerful replacement of the University.
• Indoctrination: Unlocked in Industrial Era. For every Great Person earned Ley Lines receive +1 yield equal to the Great Person's district type. Great Admirals and Great Generals earn +1 Science.
• Master Plan: Unlocked in Atomic Era. Unlocks Occult Research, a city project that provides Gold while active. When completed, it grants Great people points, and Science for every Ley Line in the city.

Owls of Minerva: The Owls of Minerva are a secret group of high-placed and wealthy individuals. They focus on government, trade, and espionage.

• Initiation: Unlocked by sending an Envoy to a City-State. +1 Economic policy slot. Each Trade Route sent to a City-State awards 1 Envoy there.
• Ritual: Unlocked in Medieval Era. Allows you to construct the Gilded Vault building, a powerful replacement of the Bank.
• Indoctrination: Unlocked in Industrial Era. +1 Wildcard policy slot. +2 Spy capacity. Your cities gain +4 Loyalty per turn and +1 Amenity when your Spy in in their territory.
• Master Plan: Unlocked in Atomic Era. Every turn, you earn 3% of the Gold in your treasury as income. Whenever an offensive spy mission is successful, you also gain half of the Science, Culture, Gold, and Faith that the target city earned that turn.

Voidsingers: The Voidsingers are a nihilistic cult of elder gods. They focus on religion, relics, and (dis)loyalty.

• Initiation: Unlocked by discovering a Tribal Village. Allows you to construct the Old God Obelisk building, a powerful replacement for the Monument.
• Ritual: Unlocked in the Medieval Era. Cities earn Gold, Science, and Culture per turn equal to 20% of their Faith per turn rate.
• Indoctrination: Unlocked in Industrial Era. Unlocks the Cultist unit. This unit is purchased with Faith, and uses charges to reduce Loyalty in foreign cities and generate Relics of the Void.
• Master Plan: Unlocked in Atomic Era. Unlocks Dark Summoning, a city project that provides lots of Faith while active, and upon completion raises the amount of Loyalty damage done by Cultists.

Sanguine Pact: A militaristic regime known for sapping enemies of their will to fight, shunning the sunlight, and absorbing nutrients through the blood of their enemies. Unlocks Vampire unit. Vampires can build Vampire Castle improvements.

• Initiation: Unlocked by destroying a Barbarian Camp. Grants a Vampire unit in your Capital.
• Ritual: Unlocked in the Medieval Era. Grants a Vampire unit in your Capital, and allows your Vampires to construct Vampire Castles (maximum two per empire).
• Indoctrination: Unlocked in the Industrial Era. Grants a Vampire unit in your Capital. Increases maximum Vampire Castle builds to three. Your Vampires now intimidate adjacent enemy units, reducing their Combat Strength by 5. Pillaging now costs Vampires 1 Movement.
• Master Plan: Unlocked in the Atomic Era. Grants a Vampire unit in your Capital. Increases maximum Vampire Castle builds to four. Units within one tile of your Vampire Castles may now Airlift to any other tile near one of your Vampire Castles.

Tech and Civics Shuffle Mode

Due in August 2020 update. This game mode shuffles techs and civics within their historical eras, leading to different costs and prerequisites than normal. The resulting trees are the same for all players in that playthrough. Techs and civics are hidden until a prerequisite is earned (or a boost for tech or civic is completed), similar to how the Future era techs are in Gathering Storm, preserving the mystery of discovery all the way until the ends of the game.

Dramatic Ages Mode

Due September 24 2020. Requires either the Rise and Fall or Gathering Storm expansion to play.

This game mode makes Dark Ages and Golden Ages more potent than ever. Heroic Ages are removed, and players can only be in a Normal Age in the first era. After that, they will either earn a Golden Age or else be in a Dark Age.

Instead of making Dedications, players get access to powerful new Social Policies based on their Age. Dark Policies make a return with refreshed powerful effects. Brand new Golden Policies are available to those who make it to a Golden Age. To keep earning Era Score, complete Techs and Civics and earn military unit promotions.

Dark Ages are particularly dangerous. Players in Dark Ages will have a portion of their empire immediately fall into Free Cities, and Free Cities can exert pressure on other cities. On easier difficulty settings, AI players lose a lot of cities. On harder difficulty settings, human players do. On Prince, they lose an equal amount.

Georgia has a new civilization unique ability to match the mode's unique rules: Tamar can use Dark Age policies even in a Golden Age, and Golden Ages reward an extra Wildcard slot, in addition to 25% production boost for defensive buildings.

Excess era score in Golden Ages will increase the amount of Loyalty pressure exerted by your citizens.

The Monopolies and Corporations mode enables you to build profitable Industries around Luxury resources, found Corporations to further their development, and manufacture unique Products to secure your place in capitalist history. Monopolies on resources grant the player additional Gold and Tourism, based on the number of resources controlled and the number of foreign trading partners. By controlling 2 or more of a specific Luxury resource and having the Currency tech researched, players can establish an Industry around that resource by having their Builder construct a special improvement, which gives bonuses unique to the resource to the host city. Controlling 3 of the same resource and having the Economics tech researched allows your Great Merchants to create a powerful Corporation by constructing a special improvement on top of the Industry.

Corporations double the Industry effect in its host city, and they have the added ability to create Products based on the resource they are founded on. Products award the Industry effect in any city where the product resides. Like Great Works, Products must be slotted into certain buildings.

Barbarian Clans Mode

Due February 25, 2021. This game mode replaces standard Barbarian Tribes with a diverse set of Clans, each with its own terrain and combat preferences. Additionally, the mode introduces new player actions for peaceful interactions with Barbarians that provide increased strategic options.

Barbarian clans now accumulate points every turn toward converting into city-states. You can boost this growth by making deals with the clan, and retard it by pillaging (rather than destroying) the camp. Clans can now build unique units from major civilizations that are not present in that playthrough.

When attacking a Barbarian Camp, you now have the option to Disperse the Clan (which destroys the outpost as normal) or to Raid it, which will leave the Clan intact, but will loot gold and subtract 10 points from their city-state conversion pool.

You can click on the new bar above each Barbarian Camp (which shows a progress bar for city-state conversion) to Treat With Clan, offering a number of options:

• Bribe: Give tribute in gold to the clan to stop them from attacking your cities for a number of turns. The clan will gain 8 points toward city-state conversion.
• Hire: Spend gold to hire the clan's strongest unit. The clan will gain 8 points toward city-state conversion. Units can be hired once every 10 turns.
• Incite: spend gold to encourage the clan to attack another nearby civilization or city-state. The clan will lose 5 points toward city-state conversion. Clans can be incited once every 10 turns.
• Ransom: Spend gold to recover a captured unit. The clan will lose progress toward city-state conversion.

This mode includes seven types of Barbarian Clans. Each clan type has its own preferred range of units to field and requires a different set of map conditions in order to appear. In addition to their normal units, clans also have the ability to field Unique Units from Civs that were not selected during game setup.

1. Flatland Clan – Prefers to place their Outposts in open terrain away from woods and hills. They prefer a balance of melee units for attack and ranged units for defense.
2. Hills Clan – Prefers to place their Outposts on open terrain with hills. They strongly prefer melee units, even to the point of excluding ranged units completely.
3. Rover Clan – Require a nearby Horse resource and prefer to place their Outposts in open terrain away from woods. They prefer as many mounted units as possible, using both light and heavy cavalry for attack and defense.
4. Chariot Clan – Require a nearby Horse resource and prefer to place their Outposts in the desert. They prefer mounted vehicles and light cavalry in all roles, rarely using ranged units at all.
5. Jungle Clan – Requires a nearby Ivory resource and prefer to place their Outposts inside rainforests. They prefer a mixture of light and heavy cavalry units supported by foot and ranged units.
6. Seafaring Clan – Always place their Outposts on coastal plots. They defend their Outposts with land-based anti-cavalry units, but otherwise they exclusively use naval melee and naval ranged units for scouting and attacking.
7. Woodland Clan – Prefers to place their Outposts in or adjacent to woods and rainforests. They prefer greater numbers of ranged units than melee units and use them for both attack and defense.

Zombie Defense Mode

Due March 25, 2021 in the Portugal Pack. In this game mode, the dead rise to wreak havoc among the living! Use new defensive structures to protect your territory, and manipulate zombies to slow your opponents.

The Zombie Defense game mode introduces a dangerous threat to your Civilization: the dead that do not stay dead. Zombies can rise from the ashes of war, and as they prey upon your and other’s lands, they spread their deadly curse onwards. Build new defensive structures to protect your territory. Make use of new City Projects to manipulate Zombies against your still living opponents.

Zombies

Movement: 2; Base Strength: 20
Zombies are melee units that wander the map. They cannot pillage your Improvements but will immediately go after any unit wandering outside and attack your City Centers and defensible Districts. Zombie hordes are unrelenting, but predictable as they will always attack the closest non-Zombie [non-Barbarian] unit. But there are new defenses – your Builders and Military Engineers can construct traps and walls, and new City Projects allow you to take control of the dead for a time, using them to attack your enemies or rerouting them to your neighbor’s door.

Zombie units thrive on the aftermath of war. When a unit dies on the map, it carries a slight chance of returning as a Zombie some turns later. However, if a unit is destroyed by a Zombie, it will rise again on the following turn. If a Zombie attack lowers a city’s population, a new Zombie unit will spawn immediately next to the city. The undead menace steadily grows in strength as well as number – for each Zombie killed anywhere in the world, remaining and new Zombies get stronger [listed as "Mutation Strength"].

Note: Zombies are part of the Barbarian faction, and Zombies and Barbarians do not attack each other. Zombies periodically spawn on their own, in locations that tend to be near the borders between civilizations. They can spawn in claimed territory and right on top of districts or improvements.

New Defensive Structures

Builders can create Barricades or Traps to help fend off enemies. Later eras can grant the ability to create more powerful Barricades or Traps. While these can be powerful defenses against the living dead, they can also be useful against the units of other civilizations, as they deal damage to any sort of enemy. Traps •

• Trap – An unworkable early Improvement that deals a moderate damage to, and depletes the movement of, hostile units passing directly through it. Unlocked with Construction and built using a Builder Charge. Does not prevent unit movement through this space.
• Modernized Trap – An unworkable later Improvement that deals significant damage to, and depletes the movement of, hostile units passing directly through it. Unlocked with Ballistics and built using a Charge from a Military Engineer. Does not prevent unit movement through this space.
• Barricade – An unworkable early Improvement that deals minor damage to, and exerts zone of control on, hostile units passing through or adjacent to it. Unlocked with Military Engineering and built using a Builder Charge. Does not prevent unit movement through this space.
• Reinforced Barricade – An unworkable later Improvement that deals moderate damage to, and exerts zone of control on, hostile units passing through or adjacent to it. Unlocked with Rifling and built using a Charge from a Military Engineer. Does not prevent unit movement through this space.
• Existing Civilization VI infrastructure has been updated to also provide additional options for Zombie defenses: Fort, Roman Fort, Great Wall, [Ethiopia Pack] Vampire Castle, [Gathering Storm] the Maori’s Pa, [Vikings Scenario Pack] Alcazar.

New City Projects

Using the Turn Undead project at a Holy Site or the Dark Signal project at a Campus will allow you to briefly take control of Zombies within your city limits, meaning that you can turn the horde against your enemies. Just be sure to be safely out of reach when your control expires or when you strategically end it. In addition, Spies can spread the deadly curse to other civilizations with the Zombie Outbreak action.

• Holy Site - Turn Undead – Upon completion, gain control of the Zombies currently in this city’s territory. Control lasts 15 turns.
• Campus - Dark Signal - Upon completion, gain control of the Zombies currently in this city’s territory. Control lasts 30 turns.
• City Center Spy action - Zombie Outbreak - Upon completion, has a chance to spawn one Zombie per worked tile in the target city.

Scenarios

Red Death Season 2

The June update adds two new factions to the Red Death multiplayer scenario: Zombies and Aliens. It also adds narration by Sean Bean. Each of the existing factions also has new unique abilities. It also adds an observer mode in multiplayer games.

Zombies

All military units are converted to Zombie Hordes. All Zombie units can detect nearby living units, indicated by green arrows around the Zombie unit.
"Bad ideas don’t just happen at once; they build on other bad ideas. So when a few of the Ethically-Challenged Scientists decided to extract a gigantic Mutant brain and hook it up to an industrial-sized truck battery, that was one bad idea. When they floated the brain in an old pickle jar filled with re-animation fluid, this was another bad idea. And when the brain began to show the ability to remotely animate corpses to do its bidding, they absolutely should not have put it on a giant mobile military vehicle and wheeled it out into the wasteland. But, no, Drs Romero, West, and Matheson led the brain (or perhaps it led them) out of the door, and now it’s your problem."

 

Zombie Horde

Movement: 2; Melee Strength: 70. Custom promotion tree.

Zombie Hordes convert defeated non-zombie units into more zombies. Zombie units can’t heal normally and take 2 damage per turn. Zombie Hordes can heal or gain additional Zombie units by exploring City Ruins, Raider Camps, and Supply Drops. Zombies have a special promotion tree which allows increased combat strength, increased movement, or immunity to decay. Zombies can form corps or armies, so thanks to the new promotion rules with combined units, it's relatively easy to create armies with 3 or more promotions.

Aliens

All Alien units can use Xenological Camouflage to become invisible to most units, which lasts for 6 turns and takes 6 turns to recharge. Adjacent enemy units can see Camouflaged units. Initiating an attack deactivates Camouflage. Aliens heal every turn regardless of movement or actions (unless in poisoned water, red death or nuclear fallout hexes), but heal at 50% normal rate.

Helicopter (Alien Saucer)

Movement: 3; Melee Strength: 71

An Alien replacement for the Helicopter.

Other Faction Updates:

• Cultists – The Undying Eye: Cultists start the game with a crippled GDR. The GDR starts damaged and does not heal or gain experience normally. The GDR instead earns promotions when units sacrifice themselves to it. These promotions can then be used to return the GDR to full operation status. All units have +3 sight.
• Borderlords – Grieving Gift: Deploy a fake supply drop to a given location on the next turn. If another player pops the supply drop, it triggers an explosion at that location. +10 Combat Strength when within 3 hexes of the Safe Zone border.
• Jocks – Hail Mary: Small tactical nuke that can be launched from any combat unit once every 6 turns. Has a smaller blast radius of 1 hex. +5 Combat Strength.
• Mutants – Radiant Personalities: Mutants that start their turn in the Red Death absorb 8 Radiation Charges per turn. They spread Red Death to non-Red Death hexes automatically for 1 Radiation Charge per hex. Mutant units do not take fallout damage from mutant spread Red Death. +3 Movement for all units in the Red Death. -50% Dead Death damage.
• Preppers – Improvised Traps: Units can build the Improvised Trap that causes 25 damage and the loss of a movement point to any unit that moves onto it. Preppers get 5 Improvised Traps per visit to an unexplored City Ruins, Raider Camp, and Supply Crate. Improvised Traps are invisible to non-Prepper factions. All units have +100% XP bonus.
• Pirates – Buried Treasure: Pirates start the game with a Treasure Map to a buried treasure location indicated on their minimap. When a pirate unit of that player reaches the treasure location, the pirate is granted a unit and a new treasure map. As a free action, Pirates can burn their map and get a new one once every 6 turns, as a free action. All units take 50% less water damage and can embark or disembark for no additional movement cost.
• Mad Scientists – Defensive Inertial Shielding: All units can deploy shielding that provides a +10 combat strength while defending. While shielded, the unit has immunity to WMD Blast, Red Death, and Water Poisoning Damage. Lasts for 4 turns and takes 6 turns to recharge. All units heal 2x faster.
• Wanderers – Road Vision: As a free action, any unit can reveal all previously explored hexes for 1 turn. Recharging takes 3 turns. Infantry, At Crews and Machine Gunners start with the Scout Regiment promotion, which lets them as well as Civilians in formation with them ignore movement penalties on Woods, Rainforest, and Hills terrain.

Pirates!

"Pirates in a fast paced 60 turn scenario about the Age of Piracy for 1-4 players. The goal is to accrue the most Infamy by the turn limit. The game can be played on a historical Caribbean of the randomly generated Pirate Islands. Pirates have no need for cities. You start with a sea worthy flagship and steal additional ships over time."

"The bigger the fleet, the bigger the plunder. Use Crew to capture damaged enemy ships and add them to your burgeoning pirate empire. Crew can also be used to deploy Shore Parties to search for and bury hidden treasure. You recruit Crew by using the Visit Tavern unit action while your ship is adjacent to to a port's city center. Taverns also provide a fresh treasure map every time you visit. Beware! Your pirate cohorts demand profit and adventure. You lose gold per turn for every ship in your fleet. Your ships will mutiny if the gold coffers run dry for too long."

"Treasure is the keystone of a pirate's life. Treasure chests can be found floating at sea or buried on land. You can convert your gold into infamy by burying treasure. Treasure chests contain gold and Pirate Relics. Hide your treasure well as other pirates aim to stead your gold and Infamy. Treasure Fleets will occasionally set sail for Europe. Treasure Fleets travel with a bounty of gold and relics but are well protected. Infamous Pirates from history also sail the unfriendly seas. You can sink them to boost your own Infamy."

"Infamy is scored by three categories: Treasure, Infamous Pirate, and Fightin'."

Treasure

• +30 - Bury a treasure chest
• +20 - Sink a treasure ship
• +5 - Plunder a treature chest
• +2 - Plunder a building or district
• +1 - Plunder a trade route.
• +1 - Plunder an improvement.

Map dominated by Hills and Mountains. Added in the Byzantium & Gaul Pack.

New Civilizations

New Frontier adds 8 new civilizations plus one additional new leader. The additional new leader (included in pack #5 in January), Kublai Khan, has different versions leading Mongolia or China, similar to Eleanor.

The premium pass also adds new alternate versions of Teddy Roosevelt and Catherine de Medici (presumably similar to the two versions of Eleanor of Aquitaine). "Two of Civilization VI's leaders are transformed with a new look and new abilities when you lead America and France! “Rough Rider Teddy” excels at keeping the peace on his home continent, and “Magnificence Catherine” can use Luxuries to overwhelm the world with Culture and Tourism."

Changes to Existing Leaders/Civilizations

The existing Catherine de Medici ("Black Queen") remains the same, but the existing Teddy Roosevelt (now "Bull Moose") has a new agenda and special ability, and no longer get the Rough Rider as an extra unique unit. See civilization list above for details.

With the Ethiopia Pack and the introduction of the Diplomatic Quarter, City-state bonuses have changed substantially. See the entry for Diplomatic Quarter.

New Units

Presumably the eight new civilizations will each include at least one new unit. The press release makes vague reference to other new units, but these may be specific to new game modes. And, judging by the first known mode-specific unit, some of them may be quite silly.

Soothsayer

Movement: 2; Charges: 2; Cost: 100 Faith; Maintenance: 4 Gold

This is a unit specific to the Apocalypse mode that you can send into foreign territory to trigger natural disasters. Soothsayers are bought with Faith. Soothsayers are destroyed if attacked by a military unit.

Can call upon the God of Destruction to cause a Natural Disaster on the current tile. The disaster is appropriate to the current tile; for example, a sandstorm will be called on a desert tile. Doing this requires a Unit Charge. Once all charges have been used, the unit is removed. Unit starts with 2 charges, but additional charges can be gained through their promotion tree. The Soothsayer has its own promotion class. Must be at war with the owning player to cause a disaster in foreign territory, but you're free to call disasters in your own territory.

During the "Appease the Gods" competition, the Soothsayer gets an additional Sacrifice Unit ability. Must be adjacent to a volcano to sacrifice an adjacent unit.

Cultist

Movement: 2; Charges: 2
Special support unit for the Voidsingers secret society. Purchased with Faith. Cultists can spend Charges to reduce Loyalty of the target city by 10 (this amount is increased by Dark Summoning). Cultists produce a Relic of the Void when they die or expend their last Charge. Can move into foreign lands without declaring war.

Vampire

Movement: 2; Melee Strength: *; Builds: 1
Special unit for the Sanguine Pact secret society. You gain one Vampire unit for each promotion of your Secret Society governor, so a maximum of four, one every other era up to the Atomic era. Can spend Build charges to build a Vampire Castle. The Vampire's base Melee Strength changes according to the strongest melee unit that you can train, and gains extra permanent Combat Strength when adjacent units perish (capped at +6). Instead of dying when their health is reduced to 0, a Vampire will teleport back to the capital or its Vampire Castle with 1 HP. Vampires heal more slowly over time than other units, but can gain 50 health by pillaging tiles. Contrary to what the Civpedia says, Vampires cannot be permanently destroyed until their civilization is eliminated (as they can always respawn in the new capital if the previous one is taken); the only exceptions that I'm aware of are: if they attack from within their Castle or capital and are reduced to zero health in that combat, or if they are hit by nuclear weapons or comet strikes.
Note: There are male and female, hooded and unhooded variants, each with several faces and hairstyles. (Unfortunately, while you can name your Vampires, the game will randomly reassign their appearance (including gender) when you load a saved game.)
