nice guide, although if i had to be honest, i have a few criticism for each of your point : 1. prod is indead very important, but early game, you need enough food to at least get your 4 pop quickly in your cities. so settling near at least one good food tile 3/0 or 4/0 (4/1 if you re lucky), or even settling on one idealy is important. you need to at least work 2/2 tiles but if you only work tiles with 1 food, that city is gonna take a veeeery long time to be useful. 2. yeah you got that one, no one care about loyaulty 3. Planning is indeed very important. howerver, perhaps planning every single district up to when your cities will get 16 pop (assuming it ever does) is a bit excessiv. Moreover your needs may evolve throughout the game and you ll change some of it. So unless you play a civ that rely consequently on district adjacency, (germany, dutch, america's preserv...) perhaps that s overkill. Also, just think about that moment when a few horses and iron will spawn right in the middle of your beautiful planning.... might be awkward. 4. the fact that you re making this argument while playing dido inland is quite ironic. harbor being the best ditrict in the game generally compensate the weakness of coastal settle. Yes having a river is much better for a settle on the coast, but it isn't mandatory at all. you have both the fishing ship and the lighthouse that provide all the food and housing you miss from the land, while the shipyard provide a lot of prod. 5. settling min distance is indeed a very good idea and i do it most of the time. however, just remember to look at the tile under your city because if going min distance makes you put a city in the desert... perhaps consider going a little further. more generally, it s always better to settle a better city (better tiles) than being as close as possible

5 should depend on your Environment, difficulty and space you got since every City has a 3 rows for districts and wonders. Also maybe the game settings as in winning conditions etc are a reason to go for larger cities than a bunch of smaller ones. What I mean by that if you either play untill one Nation captured everyone else or you got alot of space on your continent, Island make large cities and make those absolute beasts. And of course they should be close to each other and not like 20 tiles off but 6 tiles distance from Center to Center seem healthy to me.

Great point about production over food, but you should have mentioned early game is the exception, since you need some more food and the initial population is very important. Mid and late game you can just get 1 farm triangle for the big cities and 1 divided by multiple cities for the smaller ones

you only need enough food to keep up your production pumping out settlers early game. Bur you're right, still need food. Especially if you have multiple high yield tiles around your capital. You want to exploit those with many pops. But if you have to choose between food and production, I'd say production always.

​@@alex2005z That is correct, if you can have decent production tiles later. But if I have to choose between more food overall or more production overall within second ring, I'd choose the latter if I'm not Germany. Because in Civ 6 production is most important resource generally and always better to have more. Food, on the other hand, and like alcohol, should be taken with a limit. Over consumption will lead to amenity problems. And if you hit your housing limit, extra food will go waste, while extra production is always welcome. But I agree with you, having high food tile to work initially, is usually better than working high production less food tiles. having 2 pop working while all other nations only have half your workforce is really nice.

I don't like to be that guy but I analysed your starting location on this video and I believe that settling your capital one tile to the west would be much better for your start in that game. I think that because: 1. By settling in place you deleted down the forest and missed spot of 3prod/1food and free chop later. 2. You missed free era score from settling near floodplains. 3. Tyre would be closer to the Wheat which is like free Irrigation boost. 4 and most important. You could settle really good city to the east of your capital on the tile with Dyes. It have a lot of production, fresh water, late but still easy access to truffles and is overall really good city to settle. It cannot be done since Tyre is too close and settling it more to the east is not as huge as exactly on the Dyes. If I missed something and it's actually better to settle in the spot you settled in, please tell me I want to know if it's good analysis or not. Thank you. Also I hope I'm not annoying with this comment heh. Anyway, it's a good video to learn more about civ6, keep up great work man! :D

You mean east? That would've cost him a turn waste. I'd go for NW tile which is between truffle and current city. You'd get 2 high yield tiles right out of the gate, work truffle very early, you may switch gear towards Dance+Ethics northward, and you'll get another production city in the east. For the second west city, I'd go for a tile west of Dye. He'd get 2 4-yield tiles to work immediately, settled on a plain hill, have immediate access to both nice production and food tiles, 2 yummy tea tiles will be in range and he'll have a free bridge when sending trade between those cities. Yes he won't get free access to the dye but truffle will be enough before getting irrigation. You can buy that wheat tile with gold you get from truffle. Man, 7 yield tile without improvement? That's something you don't miss to grab for starting years.

Nah . Either option is okay and neither is game breaking . I’d prob settle in place also. Work the 2-2 base and very quickly grow to truffles and work that with your 2 population. Stronger early start. Where your option is more of the long term better option. All depends on if you want early game strong tempo… Atleast that’s how I view it 🤷🏼‍♂️.

#6 not building Entertainment Complex. Yeah, you don't need them in every city, but you can make at least one to give happiness to your other cities (six tiles away, just like workshop). #7 building every district in every city - it's redundant, because one industrial complex can give bonus to all other cities within six tiles (of district) so you're kinda wasting turns and 'hammers" because only ONE bonus will apply (usually highest). However, be aware that some civ benefit from having lots of districts, such as Japan and Germany for example.

Planning is all good and great, I love it. Until you get iron(niter, coal, w/e) right in the middle of your nicely planned district haven before you were able to lock all of them. One of my biggest issues with civ6 is that you can't build districts on damn strategic resources after they're revealed. Also, I've had successfully settled -20 loyalty cities (not in dark age ofc), it's tricky but with all the policies all you need to do is to add 1-2 trade routes for the food gain and buy granary+watermill if possible so that it gets new pop almost instantly. Even 1 extra citizen gives a lot more resistance to pressure, and after getting to 3+ it's mostly safe from revolting (unless dark age, naturally).

I've been playing Civ6 on Xbox gamepass for the last couple of weeks. Accidentally won my first Spain marathon Prince on large small continents map through a cultural victory while I finished preparations for the last 3 capitals in domination. Just started another Spain game, marathon King on huge small continents. Coming up on turn 200 with 5 cities after just defeating Brazil and annexing two of their 3 cities. Your videos are extremely helpful. I was already making the mistake of trying to focus on food, which in hindsight was a big mistake in my last playthrough. Literally every city in that run required me to juggle between housing, amenities, and then finally units. I'm going to focus on production moving forward.

While a lot of this is reasonable it sounds a little more absolute than it probably should be. Production potential is certainly important but if your food is too low it becomes very hard to realize that potential. Frequently if I have something like spices and grassland with woods and a rice in marsh and several high production tiles I will lock the first two citizens in on the 4 food, 1 production and 5 food tiles to grow the population very quickly. Even though the production is low to start if you limit them to building only items your policies or the world congress do half (or more) of the work on it's not so bad (think city center as the AI always votes for that) and it gets more of those high production tiles working faster. By the end of the game that city will have ultimately put out more production by getting more citizens to work faster than it would have if you focus on the production tiles first. Basically this is a roundabout way of saying you need both food and production to found a good city. You can also potentially chop things out of the city and replant woods with lumber mills later if needed. Coastal cities may or may not have low production and it depends how late you settle them. If you've discovered oil they might be very productive. Is Auckland in the game? Can you become Suzerain of it? Is it in danger of being conquered? Did you scout well enough to know you are going to be on or near a lot of coast so you can take God of the Sea pantheon? These are good guidelines but the actual decisions are highly context dependent.
@zacharytaylor2423
@zacharytaylor2423 2 жыл бұрын
The real issue with food in civ 6 is that growth slows dramatically as your pop increases. Unlike earlier games, most cities never actually hit their food cap, so doubling the food does not double your pop. If it did, the game would be very different and I think both your first and last tip would be very different. With the right policies, wonders, civics and planning you can get the amenities and housing to support huge cities spaced farther apart. But in practice you get more pop per land and more districts per pop by building smaller cities closer together. The somewhat sad (IMHO) thing about this is it encourages people to pick a victory type early and specialize their districts. If the growth mechanics made larger cities with more diverse districts viable, then it would reward strategies like racing down the civics tree to win a science victory, or keeping several victory options open until the late game.

I play the game less than both of them, but whenever I play them in multiplayer, I obliterate them on higher levels than they are. My sister is the main culprit. Every mistake that was in this video is a mistake she makes. In a recent game we had together, she had tons of coastal cities like 10+ tiles apart from each other, with tons of farms and little production. She apparently didn't know that the pin tool existed in the game, and has 0 city planning. Whenever I try to give her tips she scoffs and says her way of doing things is perfectly fine. She was going for a culture victory. I won on turn 193 with a culture victory. I had 260 science, 750 culture, and 600 tourism. She had 123 science, 148 culture, and ? tourism. Its very clear that it might be beneficial for her to maybe try these tips out.

Then any cities I settle around my capital, also get lots of room. After that, I'll be capturing cities, and the AI loves to settle close, so My inner core will be large powerful cities, surrounded by the smaller spam cities, which I honestly hate. I really hate those close cities that cant build anything or do anything... they all spend the rest of the game just struggling to keep up, whilst my core is so advanced. When you have that super powerful capital, it gets obscene how fast it can crank wonders, even early game. As long as you got sprall from early game conquest that is. Ya still need the sprall, but that capital NEEDs to be massive.

Honestly, unless the strategy you're playing requires a wonder, or you're using a Civ that benefits greatly for them, you shouldn't waste any space/production on wonders. Most wonders end up being a drain on your resources for minimal rewards. Of course that changes depending on certain map situations. But for the most part, its better to let the AI make the wonder and then you take their city later if you need it

In early game, Faith > Culture > Food > Science = Production. As time goes on, the value of food drastically goes down and production goes up. By late game production is on the top with culture and science imo. Faith becomes somewhat useless after you got the pantheon, but at the first 25 turns it's beyond anything else. Food is so important because you need it to reach 2 population so you can start building settlers sooner. Also in early game more population = more worked tiles = more overall production, so having some starting food will benefit your overall production in the long run. Yes reaching 10+ population is not as rewarding but the first 4 population and arguably 7 is a must-have. Personally I think 8 is the sweetspot. It costs as much amenity as 7 which allows you to build 3 special districts, but also have 1 more worked tile.

Like, you need 4 pop in a late game city for religion, 1 to work a farm and 3 to work the holy site. It also comes back hard late game for culture after a mid game slump. You can't have too much faith to buy naturalists, cultists (if they're enabled) and rock bands. Also, it's definitely relevant for longer than just a pantheon, because monumentality is one of the most busted things in the game. High early game faith strats spamming out settlers with monumentality and abusing the free builders from ancestral hall are really strong.

The hive City selling method is actually a universal tactic in the civ series, 5 being the sole exception. Essentially, always build settlers from every city, followed by workers. The more cities, the more net gross you take in. Then follow-up with a state religion that takes gold and either provides amenities or production, and you've made a machine. I prefer pogodas over meeting houses, as the bonus faith allows your theocratic crusade machine to wipe almost everyone by the mid game. Do this, and you'll win 9 out of 10 games while weaker players go for the other, beta strategy to win the game. That being said, I miss spies and nuclear suitcases hiding in caravan stacks so much.

That is good tactic if you do not have to many opponents. I like to play against 15 maybe even 20+ civs on huge maps. Usually there is enough space for 5 cities. Then we clash and warfare is unavoidable. What settings do you play?

@@zombek666 I normally play with about 20 civs on Emperor difficulty and with Barbarian Tribes mode on. Typically, I end up doing a early religon rush, followed by a wave of either swordsmen or horsemen, Barbarian horsemen if desperate and try to claim as many cities as possible. Then transition into a temporary peace, spreading more cities to every possible tile, and using garrisoned troops to maintain loyalty. I don't bother spreading my religon until the late middle ages, and will typically rely on scripture doctrine in order to organically spread it, while focusing my city states exclusively on economic or religon city states. Typically, the best way to accomplish this is to wipe out my 3 closest neighboring civs and then use the peace time diplomacy score to get the others to be only annoyed at me. Raze the cities that are not effective at that time, but hold the ones that are needed to keep up the supply lines of troops to the front defended. Better to build them from scratch then suffer the loyalty rebellion mechanic. Then after the conquest, enter a period of reconstruction and mass settlers using the Colonization tree. If you are playing as China (One of the better civs for this, due to thier worker charges and build wonder ability), wait out the era of Crossbowmen until you can make the earliest gunpowder infantry. Use Cash to upgrade standing army, and then use a mixture of religous purchases of troops to renforce the front, while sending apostles to convert them. At that point, stop focusing on minmaxing cities and begin steamrolling as many AI's at a time. You should have three to four seprate army clusters of units to sack and pillage. Oh, and another tip, Use Battering rams and thier upgraded form. Never upgrade to medics. This will stop you from dealing chip damage to walls, and let you seize faster. Using this strategy, I have never once made it to the future era *laughs*. One of these days, I'll go for a science victory or cultral to see what it's like, but religous and domination is too busted.

In Khmer, you only need to respect your work ethics in tundra lands. regardless of tile quality, you'll be swimming in food and production along with faith. With Urban Complexity : Worship and Districts in wood mods, I reach to future era in 10th century AD and my science was over 2000 and culture was over 9000 per turn. Well, I colonized a sixth of a huge world which was covered in snow. Even without mods, that was a very strong combo, especially if you get rivers on tundra.

Production, coin and science. If you have high production, you can produce what you need pretty quickly, and with high monetary wealth you can buy whatever you need and instantly add more science and production or military units if you’re attacked. I lean more towards production in the first 50 turns and then slowly shift more towards money because once I have a fat income, I can buy all of the less important stuff while my cities produce science buildings and WONDERS which can give you significant advantages. If you want to establish a religion, do so as soon as you can get a great person because depending on how many players there are, they’ll take all of the great persons before you can get to that point and you’ll be screwed on that front. I always have a type of artillery (or ranged early in the game) garrisoned in every city because you can get policies which increase loyalty because of it. And it just gives cities that extra defense. Planes are great later on. Try to be a suzerain of all cities especially the ones around you or on your continent. And you want as many trade routes as possible. It’s a good idea to get rid of all of the barbarians or pay them to attack neighboring cities and rendering them [barbarians] allied city states. Otherwise they’ll constantly plunder your trade routes. Settling directly on the coast is a bad idea like you said but settling on a river that’s just a few tiles away from the ocean is good so you can eventually build a harbor and take over the seas. Also gets you more trade. Develop as many effective spies as you can because you can use them to take cultures apart from within and also steal tech and art (or coin) without going to war or upsetting them (assuming they don’t get caught). It’s slow and annoying to do but worth it. Foment enough unrest for your neighboring player’s cities to revolt and break away to make it easier to take territory. I personally hate sharing a continent with someone else so I try to get rid of them ASAP. But you can make it work with an alliance if you choose.
