I have so many tips that I've learned overtime. 1) When you meet a civ in the first 50 turns and they're basically hugging you (or close to one hugging you), ALWAYS send a delegation. At best, you guarantee a friend (altho with good ol Gilgabro, you don't even need a delegation) At worst, you buy a few turns to set up defenses and/or offenses to slap ur neighbors silly. 2) With foreign trade, you also gain the ability to do joint wars (and join ongoing ones), which is MASSIVE if u have tough friends early on. 3) For early game scouting, ALWAYS travel along a river (esp if ur avoiding scouts). True to reality, you are more likely to find a civ and/or city state along a river. (As a random side note, I have become a convert to the no scout club, so hugging rivers is a must).

[@Tom_Crews]

Rivers also lead into oceans also, I like to have some coastal cities

[@paucolome4298]

Didn’t want to send delegations for that early 15 gold because I thought they were useless, found out the hard way lol. USA basically wiped the shit out of me, that’s a really good tip. Try to be as close as possible and trade with the nearest civs

[@connerbell4515]

[@elsiedoomhammer]

I totally get the "no scouts" policy when you're trying to eek out as much efficiency as possible from your first fifty turns BUT I like to keep one scout that can soak up promotions and upgrade to the much more useful Ranger later in the game. I've also found that scouts can be occasionally useful during combat as some extra damage even when you have a combat situation that's a little more balanced than you'd like it to be. Stalemate? No sir! I think not. Lol 😂 sure they can only get hit once or maaaybe twice but they can get away clean when you need them to and be the difference between winning or losing an encounter/unit 🤺 I've had too many surprisingly badass, helpful scouts to call them all completely useless. They're also handy if you wanna link up with someone in a multiplayer game. I know in civ 6 there's an option to be visible to players you've teamed up with but I play a Civ clone on my phone that's based on earlier versions and it doesn't have that option. You can play for quite a while without running into your teammate. Usually, if I'm on mobile it's because my partner and I are playing jointly and we each need a scoot to seek one another out. If you choose to get him and are able to keep him alive (the scout, not your teammate 😅) long enough to promote then once you upgrade him to ranger or are about to you can quickly build or buy another of the same type and form a corps. Then you have a strong ranger corps that is, in my experience, anything but useless. I know I'm late to the party here but I was scrolling through the comments for tips so maybe someone else will be later and find this useful. I'm a pretty experienced gamer but I've only gotten into Civilization recently. However, I can say with confidence that the military aspect of the game is what comes most naturally for me. I don't feel like I'm just pulling this advice outta my arse lol

Good video. Nice advice. On Turn 30 (actually, as soon as you got writing) you should have placed the Campus instead of just queueing it. Placing a district locks in the cost so that it doesn't go up (for example if you complete a tech). It is a good idea to always place a district--if you are certain you are going to build it--to lock in the cost. Also, you can place a district as soon as you get the required amount of pop and then you can still build it if the pop drops (building a settler, getting hit with a natural disaster, starvation, etc).

Starting with 2 scouts gives you more possibilites . They move quickly and allow to find more villages and city states with bonuses. Also, depending on a type of unit, you may have an early friendship if you meet another civ with peacefull unit. If the first encounter is with military unit, first impression will be worse from the beginning, like in this video.

[@carloscatarino7890]

Also VS barbarians, with the Discipline civic, you just need to fortify a scout next to their encampment and the spearman defender will just commit suicide attacking him. You can raze an encampment in 3 turns by doing nothing.

Bro I got my first deity win two games after watching this video, very legit stuff. Thanks for making it!

[@lucasferrini7063]

I do find Animal Husbandry as a good opening tech many times, as it allows you to go into archery. I like having that tech almost done to instantly research it whenever i need it, and since most of the times there will be some early wars, having archers in a 1 turn research can help a lot to keep yourself secure without having to spend the maintenance pof the archers, plus the fastest production on slingers isn't bad at all, even more early on, when you have almost no production. As for the scouts, i kinda disagree, i value a lot having some highly mobile units that con not only open up the map, but also get some of the boosts / envoys (or at least quests) / tribal villages early on, since they are somewhat of a treasure hunt, whoever gets there first, gets the bonus. They also are a cheap unit i don't mind that much of losing, and rather have my warriors near my city in case war is knocking on my door

[@the-engneer]

I most definitely agree on scouts. It opens the map so much quicker, and they can gain enough experience I've actually had them help me win an unexpected fight against barbarian's

[@svansy]

agreed! 2x slinger, monument, settler is the best. unless you have a victim civ close by, then i do 3-4x slinger to rush them quickly and get a 2nd city, at which point i go monument, settler, settler in the capital and rush more slingers in the new city (1x before repairs, then repair monument, 2x slinger and once i have a 3rd city, go repair the rest and continue the slinger rush). at some stage, a 2nd melee is good to have. depends on the civ. if there's just a couple of turns to get to a civ specific melee, i'd wait. otherwise, can take a simple warrior. if you go heroes, i would go slinger, monument, hero, then settler if i have space -> 2x slinger. if there's neighbors, flip the settler and slinger around. foreign cities are even more of a priority than ones own. before they can get the walls up. pillaging will help get the science and culture up so no need for focus on this for the first 50 turns tbh. just pillage everything and can repair once the army is up. the gold can be used to buy builders and a barrage to combat walls. levies are amazing for the beginning especially. city states have better units than civs in the starting stages of the game (on deity). levying one city state will be enough to crush your first victim civ.

[@alex1695lopez]

My hints for this specific map. Steamroll great baths and place it next to where you currently have the commerical district. You're using all your good tiles next to the river when you have perfectly useful tundra files (and a river) to the north of you. Chop the Stone to help build the great bath (and with China you build even faster). Build the campus where the stone was. Aqueduct to the left of your city. The production district above that next to the river. Commercial hub on top of that. U end up with a min +4 campus and strong production. Then watch as your river floods and gets you insane yields. Also, i highly recommend you always take the flattest path to anywhere. Once u get to hills, pivot away and stay on flat ground. You cover greater distances faster and can beat the AI to more tribal villages. Once you can't go anymore on flat tile, move to hills/forests but by then your scout will be upgraded to travel through those faster.

Totally disagree with your statement about the "Scout" I think the double scout opening will help you find city state and you want to be the first to meet them, also the scout will help with era score for golden age...Always always start with a scout unless you are sure to be alone on a continent

[@phuckhong3309]

Don't know why he stated that Scout is garbage lmao. Meeting other civs and city states first not only gives you chance for early friends, free envoys, but also gives you time to strategize as early as possible, not to mention all the benefits from tribal villages. And of course, without scout you'll almost always fall into a dark age or normal age at best during the first phase of the game.

[@dawiddawid7198]

actually you are wrong and civ lifer is right, slinger is much better than a scout, cause it upgrades into archer, and what you do with your 2 scouts when you get attacked? rhetorical question

[@0ceanicify]

Double scout gets you bonuses, allies, envoys and potential kills with +5 against Barbs. Slingers get...some kills.

[@libertyprime9307]

I don't think there's 1 right answer. Pros for Scouts include potentially more Envoys/Tribal Villages that another Civ would grab if you went Slinger; quicker total exploration which may extend well into midgame; they can be used basically always for defense but in ways most players do not understand. AI units like to chase Scouts. So you can direct movement of your enemies with them and buy time for reinforcements, positional advantage, or diplomacy. Pros for Slinger is you want at least 1 anyway for the Eureka; they will definitely be used for perimeter defense at some point and upgrade well; they boost military score more than Scout (reducing your chance of being DOW'd in general); and they're obviously preferable in the event you do actually get attacked very early. Personally I think the main reason you do not win Deity if you understand the game well is your ultra early game got fucked. Slingers and a few early units can really help mitigate disaster, setting you up to simply win most Deity games. Scout can be stronger if you didn't actually need the military. But in that case, you were winning no matter what. So Something like double Scout is a bit win-more. I think Scout -> Slinger -> Settler is a really good middle ground too.

[@TheCivLifeR]

:D not much really changes just drawn out. Early on it depends on what you want, science = campus, culture = theater squares

[@DrPooks]

Building more military units before any new Settlers or Buildings or Districts is more important on slower speeds. This is because military units take too long to build on slower speeds in case of barbs or surprise war. Military units also give a bigger advantage to the players on slower speeds because more turn = more potential unit movements/attacks and the AI is really bad at keeping its own units alive. When I used to play on Marathon, it wasn't unusual at all to still have no districts built by Turn 100. Another key on slower speeds is to use policy cards to cut production costs as much as possible. Essentially, only build Settlers with the 50% card plugged in, build all your Walls with Limes plugged in, etc.

[@Jaguara-zi7bz]

@@DrPooks , I believe it's important to mention that windows of opportunity last longer on slower speeds. So one is able to make more out of an early unique unit, for example.

[@777lucifero]

I haven't tried deity yet in civ6, but i have found quite overpowering at lower difficulties to have colombians. That extra move on every unit allows for quite an overwhelming barbarian farming early on, and being able to move after promoting also makes some difference. I delay even second city to make another warrior first, as it translates into a substantial increase in gold from barb camps. But i guess that doesn't work the same at higher difficulty? At mid-high difficulty it's still an easy early win, i focus on getting 4-5 warriors+ a couple ranged and space them out in couples so that i can easily down barbarian camps soon after they spawn again. But i did notice you get a bit less gold as you raise difficulty. Also on marathon speed the gold gained is a lot more (though also the cost to purchase units is more). I usually like to play only on marathon, and use a couple weeks or more to complete a game. I guess it does change a lot with a different speed. It's perhaps easier to use gold to buy units efficiently at marathon (since in X amounts of turns you are able to farm a lot more barbarian camps). And even if the gold amounts are different, the movement is still 2 or 3 per turn. I guess i'll try a deity and see how it works with colombians, now im curious 😊

One good scout can make a dramatic difference early game.

I always auto-explore because the chances of finding tribal village's is significantly higher this way. this was same with all previous civ game's. the AI has always been able to see the entire map from the beginning of the game. using auto travel to send a settler or scout to a specific location will often cause the AI to dash in there ahead of you before you arrive. but if you send the unit manually one turn at a time this will rarely happen. using auto-explore though is best way to locate tribal village's early because the AI will always find them first as it already knows where they all are so take that advantage and use it for yourself

[@gudotermaat2926]

Best tips I can give is just learn the adjacencies and plan your cities out, make sure you have enough defense and some food to grow to 10 population per city at least (throw in an entertainment complex because of amenity issues). Give roles to cities: got a reef and 2 mountains? Make it a science city. Coastal river with a +4 harbor spot? Make a city center/harbor/commercial hub triangle with Reyna's double adjacency promotion for tons of gold. High production city with a great choke point encampment? There you have your military city. But most importantly don't underestimate the importance of industrial zones. They are GODLIKE because you can build anything you want with overflowing production. You know you're doing it right when you can build wonders in 5 turns. There are so many more details but if you just plan your cities you can beat emperor quite easily at least.

[@Rational_Driver]

I don't understand your build order. I tend to find scouts useful for finding as many goodie huts asap and keeping my military close by. I get that they're weak but the extra moves seem to make up for it. Scouts also help when meeting other civs. Also I think there needs to be some flexibility in your tech/civic opening. I like going animal husbandry just to keep archery open in the event I get rushed on. Civics choices I flip on depending on the civ I am and if I wanna do an early UU rush. Just my two cents, but good vid. Love the different perspectives.

[@robertryman8562]

Yes, I agree; scouts are very useful in early game. Goodie huts, meeting other civs for mapping and boost, finding wonders for mapping and boost, finding a second continent for boost, mapping for a better understanding of where to settle, and maybe the most powerful benefit of all, meeting city states first to get their production/culture/money benefit. That advantage early on is enormous. Secondly, we probably all realize you want to get to Political Philosophy asap. How best to get there is the question. I am not improving 3 tiles by turn 10-15 (the time it takes to accumulate enough culture to finish the second level on the culture tree without a boost) so I go for Craftsmanship first, not Foreign Trade. Sometimes a do not discover a second continent, the boost for Foreign Trade, but often I do (my first two builds are scouts and I send them in different directions). I'm also not building a district fast enough to get the boost, so I go for State Workforce over Early Empire, not because of what it will give me but because I can take advantage of the boost. The underlying point is, always consider the boost and what you may be able to obtain or more accurately, what you know you wont be obtaining. The boosts are one of the most important things throughout the game, but especially in the early game. Lastly, and most importantly, early war. That is the best way to get to 10 cities and, at the Deity level, the AI cities you conquer are much further along. This video has some great content and I learned a lot from it, some reinforcement some new ideas. Just thought these three tips might help our community get better.

[@bradgoff8792]

Hmmm your clock says 3:00am. Perfect time for a civ binge

[@Davetastic21]

Great vid, definitely appreciate these portion-by-portion guides

[@TheCivLifeR]

Glad you like them!

[@zacharygreenwald4561]

Continue it! I wanna see how this Genghis play turns out

[@oriban2869]

It‘s not necessary to continue, as he said after 24 turns, he will definitely win this...

[@kevinwakham6326]

how do you get the better map tax mod?

[@KeimpeJ]

You're really helping me understand the game. Thanks a lot!

[@f6oekqu]

Slinger moves and discovers both barbarian quadrireme and spearman... Slinger says his prayers. 😓

[@samgardner1385]

What’s the mod that shows your opponents data top right?

[@laurie7032]

I'd love to see how you continue with this game !

[@TheCivLifeR]

will do the next 50 turns with the same game!

[@chrisgsauce]

@@TheCivLifeR looking forward to it! Turn 75-100 is usually when the AI is so far ahead of me I can't even imagine catching up.

[@1966bluemax]

@@TheCivLifeR how could you see the food and production icons?

[@sniperking6321]

Discovered your channel today really nice keep it up👍

[@ortundgaming967]

This was really not as easy to follow as you probably think it was...

[@ElitePvPzFTW]

I know I’m a year late, but I agree. I understood but I have 200 hours in CIV games. This isn’t the best for beginners, but it’s helpful for tweaking early game mechanics.

[@call9kai9to9die]

I only got to 13:40 but so far so good to me 😅❤

[@omillertime73]

Just started playing 2 days ago. This video is awesome. Does anyone know any other videos or KZbinrs that are similar but maybe slower pace and go into more depth on smaller things. I’m rewatching the first 10 minutes of this video trying to catch up lol

[@MToddTippetts]

I"d love to see you continue this game

[@TheCivLifeR]

ill probably do next 50 turns and then 200 with same game

[@sykeassai]

couple of minutes in, i don't play a lot of civ these days, but I really can't remember the last time I played a game on standard speed or comparable probably back on Civ 3

[@Blodhgarm12]

Super helpful vid! I got into civ last month and have been struggling at higher difficulties. This is really great advice!

[@frgmn1968]

I would appreciate a link to the Harvard study. Thank you!

[@Evan-lr8nq]

Just bought Civ 6 yesterday (90% off). It is familiar enough to know I have to look up guides.

[@philipbowles5397]

Recently returned to Civ VI after a year or more and am pleasantly surprised that you can no longer win 99% of the time on Deity by doing basically whatever you want and random-walking through the tech tree. It almost feels like a strategy game like its predecessors rather than a 'do whatever you feel like with no fear of losing' sandbox. One thing you don't dwell on is era score, which can be a good reason to go scouting for villages, civs and natural wonders. It's going to depend how close your rivals are, but if you have nearby civs exerting loyalty pressure you can't go into a Dark Age at a game stage when you most need to expand. Once you have those early cities it matters much less precisely because, as you say early on, you should have sites between your cities you can expand into.

[@Henrik2000bro]

Yo i really like your tipps and explanations youre giving out man. I really enjoy the straight forward infos. i have 400h is civ6 and still learned a lot by watching ur videos even tho i just discovered u yesterday. Since your channel is still quite small id like to give u some feedback that imo would increase ur videos quality: - speak a bit slower (like jesus christ pls xD - also better for adressing a wider audience) - maybe structure ur vids at the beginning with a quick overview (although ur timestamps are great) - if you introduce urself at the beginning of a video maybe have urself on fullscreen so it appears more personal and then move on to the gameplay. Greetings Henrik

[@TheCivLifeR]

appreciate it!

[@mrwizn]

This just took me from struggling on easy to winning on Prince!

[@abdouallah5406]

you really are the hero of vergins

[@justanenglishman5184]

Not got round to playing Civ VI yet, I think at some point I will get it but first off I will probably play through all the other Civs again although not sure when that will be as my list of games to play is bottomless at the moment.

[@mcdizzle2855]

‘A kin to picking starter Pokemon’ 🔥😂🔥👌🏻🔥

[@NewEarthSpiritual808]

I'm on my way to work and all I can think about is "one more turn". I think Firaxis needs to make another Civanon video 🤣

[@danielholth]

Im willing to go slinger --> settles --> slinger --> monestery to plant that 2nd city even earlier. Would that be viable if you want to boom population a bit earlier?

[@vitaliymartynets2387]

Can't find a link to the Harvard study in the description. Could be an interesting read, please update

[@billcarlton7358]

Interested to know what 'The Rebirth Plan' entails

[@Stovetopcookie]

I would love to see how this game finishes up. I feel like I learned a lot.

[@UnregulatedChaos]

So I need to know where to go to to learn the basics I just started playing civ 6

[@madogthefirst]

Interesting I usually go Writing and into Bronze. Want to get the campus up and running fast as possible and got to know where iron is so I can plan spots to settle. I also usually go for Military Tradition first because I'm very used to flanking bonus and hate not having it.

[@Strellzic]

New player here. Why is my maptrack smaller? Why do I not see a damn in mine? Why does my industrial zone get less adjacency bonus options?

[@Char81089]

Why is the UI different on the PS5? The icon on the bottom right isn’t the same one I’m seeing. Maybe since I only got the base game and not the expansion idk .

[@GakiB]

love your guide and humor style

[@donningarmour2873]

How do you get a governor tile? Everytime I play I lose because I cannot appoint a governor.

[@Ebamber3]

on the settling point you make I like to settle on luxury resources because your cities work them automatically without getting rid of any of the resources; is that bad?

[@makpride123]

What mods do you use to show the production, food, and the map tack +2 in the beginning.
