Civilization VI Tips: Working Tiles

[@Mazurecki56]

I love how your introduction takes literally 10 seconds. No bullshit, no obnoxious animated intros, no screaming. Just a simple greeting and quick statement what the video will be about, all in 10 seconds, and you immediately get to the point. Very refreshing. You've earned yourself a new sub.

[@TheSaxyGamer]

Thanks! Clickbait and obnoxious and extended intro/outros are some of my biggest pet peeves with KZbinrs, so I try my hardest to avoid it all.

[@benwillems8584]

That's what Saxy and Oxhorn have in common. Calm voices, clear explanations, and no self aggrandizing

[@stanettiels7367]

I’m the same: can’t stand the obnoxious, false overexcitement and loud KZbinrs. This guy is ideal for me.

[@JFRA24]

This is essentially the only good channel on the topic of Civ VI.

[@jan-lukas]

I think PotatoMcWhiskey is good too, and the Civilization VI videos from The Spiffing Brit are cool too, but they are only exploiting Civ 6 ;-)

[@cecarter10]

I've been a Civilization fan for the last 22yrs lol and I still love watching these types of videos because there's always something new to learn.

[@DarkSkay]

Attention advanced tip: only work the 3f tile for 1 or 2 turns, then switch back to the 2f2p tile, until growth to 2 pop happens at the same time or earlier than the scout finishes. Such detail mistakes can cost you a city state envoy or a hut.

[@TheRiddler491]

Would it not be better to leave it on 2f2p to pump out the scout, then put a turn into a slinger, then start settler as to not interrupt the production of the scout and maximize efficiency? Am I thinking too much about this?

[@jan-lukas]

@@TheRiddler491 I would do it like DarkSkay, but you can do it with the slinger too, if you want to build it

[@LMtapes]

It took me like 300 turns with Gorgo at standard difficulty to finally realise I was playing the game all wrong XD Thanks man for this!

[@purplepason]

Could you PLEASE pleaasseee do a video on district placement? And wonder placement? That's a big thing that I struggle with!

[@TheSaxyGamer]

District placement will definitely have a video, probably fairly soon. As for wonder placement, I may do something a little different than just a guide on how to place them, but something for that will be coming too!

[@purplepason]

Thank you. I really appreciate the response. It would severely help me a lot, as I bought this game on the sale and this is something I'm struggling with. Your videos are very helpful. I find the leader spotlights very helpful too.

[@DeleriousOdyssey]

This is the only decent civ6 channel I've found. Thanks for existing.

[@iamspamus8784]

Good video. One can also choose two of the yield buttons at the same time, ie. food and science. It's not so big of a deal early on, but can be useful later.

[@JohnBrown-gf1ks]

Thanks for these vids. It's taking me a lot deeper into the game.

[@rodrigososa6098]

I love the game, but oh boy if it's so little intuitive, I have been trying to understand how it works, and finally with your video I finally figured it out

[@Shankeysmoe25]

These videos are super helpful, but this one raises more questions than it answers. This specific topic should include builders and how improving tiles affects your yields especially those that contain luxury/bonus resources or those that contain yields other than just food and production. I don’t see anything about builders in this series.

[@IWubYooz]

At 1:30 you explain a problem that can be solved by just using Shift+Enter to force end your turn for one turn you still get the production towards your settler and can end your turn. In fact with some starts, if I have really good yields I'll do this from turn one until 2 pop to pump out a really quick settler, but I play on a wimpy difficulty and is probably not recommended at higher difficulties, but it is an option.

[@EstrellaViajeViajero]

I didn't know you could do that. That is so nice.

[@jan-lukas]

I think this got patched

[@reevethomas1083]

This info could have been useful in the last game where it was taking 30 turns to complete a Campus 😂😂👏👏👏

[@johnosenbaugh2250]

These videos changed my game

[@davedarosa9949]

This game has a big learning curve. Lol. I’ve Been playing here and there for a week now and I’m just starting to get it a little bit

[@rotexor]

Thanks, learned a lot. Picked up the game three days ago because of the massive sale on Steam :D

[@Beast-1431]

Can you make a luxury/amenities video. I’m confused with multiple resource/luxuries and when you turn those tiles into districts.

[@MoonLiteNite]

yay video time!!

[@Gamster_007]

Great information. Thank you so much! This makes my beginner playing so much easier :)

[@kjerins]

Unrelated to the actual topic of the video, but after that initial bit of scouting the placement of Rio de Janeiro hurts me - it's one tile too close to the river delta and now it's not possible to build another city there. I love me some high adjacency harbors, and that would've been a sweet sweet spot.

[@StillWinding]

I'm really enjoying these 10-20 minute tutorials. This is 100% a compliment: You say, "two" very similarly to the way Sal Khan does ❤ Have you heard that before?

[@jamessmith1420]

Im surprized you didnt mention saxy the civilization classic tip, production focus. Basically the idea being if you set your focus to production, yet manually lock your pops to food, every time you grow that pop adds the highest production tiles production to whatever your working. Its admittedly a minor thing in grand scheme of things, but if your game is going 150 turns or 1500 turns, this trick adds production at every pop growth that adds up.

[@magica3526]

I'm not sure if this is still a thing in 6, I know it was in 5

[@ilnova91]

i love your voice bro, makes me happy :D

[@TheSaxyGamer]

Haha, thank you very much!

[@halkyuusen8626]

Maybe a silly a question, but do tiles with builder improvements on them still yield their bases resources like food and production? Basically once I become the suzerain of Granda, I seem to only be able to build Alcazars where I want to build farms.

[@amaurystengel]

I have a funny story about this. In the match I am currently playing, I settled a city near a City-State that has a flooding river. The city-state refuses build a dam on the river, so it floods every now and then. Near this river, there was a great place for a Holy Site. I didn't want my citizens drowning all the time, so I told my city to ignore Faith. Even so, when the river flooded again, the game warned me about damages tiles AND citizens killed! Even though I told them to stay away from that tile, they still chose to work there and die!

[@msolec2000]

I see. That incense tile could be a good example for using "avoid faith".

[@THEtodd_83]

Quick question. If we're supposed to be concentrating on food, would our early production be diminished. i.e., longer time to train settlers and troops, etc...?

[@jan-lukas]

I think you should let the city grow to two, and then change to production to build a settler, let it grow to two if it haven't already done that whilst building the settler, so I can spam as many settlers as possible

[@Whupp5]

I was hoping you would cover builders and using them more efficiently. As a new player, I find myself experimenting with them too much.

[@yngfljm2277]

saaame

[@PolarIre]

Pangea, domination, no turn limits. Im at turn 500 generating 319 gold a turn, thanks Saxy. First civ i picked up after revolution.. not so easy, but you got all good tips. Seems lile once i took the city state of Valletta all 8 A.I. held a war monger grudge against me from 14th-17 century. I hope the devs nerf warmonger affects or add the a.i. to openly or secretly like waring to an extent. Alexander was orange for a while but didnt wanna trade more then 200 for luxuries the other a.i. leaders trade options were even worse. Ipad player.. runs pretty good, disclaimer about large and hugeaps taking a while to load is kinda accurate, i wait about 20 seconds around turn 500

[@Sarahbryson321]

iPad?

[@Shywer]

When you get the first pantheon you can pick a free settler or a worker depends how fast you got faith.

[@FreeTibetFTW]

When exactly does your city slows down growing due to the housing limit? everywhere i read guides always say this will happen when close to the housing cap but when do you pointly get "close" to it? is it one, two pop. slots or at the proper cap? Seriously housing always gives me problems, as a new civ player sometimes i find myself so confused at certain determining factors :/

[@sajan4s]

So does it mean, it doesnt matter how many times a city has or bought unless its been worked up on? If we have like many resources and if It's not been worked upon, won't we get that resource?

[@partnerplayer]

If you start your tiles on production before building something, can you switch to food after? Or what is currently building will adjust to the new tiles that are favoring food and not production?

[@hadracks]

What happens if you are ready to buy a tile with culture (say 1 turn away) but then buy the tile with gold. Do you lose the culture you invested and start all over or does the culture buildup go towards buying the next tile?

[@chuckcorvec9600]

Hi. I have something that has been bugging me since I started playing Civ 6. If I look at the citizens view of a city this is what I see. I see the icons for people. Some are highlighted and some are not. Those I get how to utilize. There are other tiles with exploitable resources on them that do not have any icon for people,highlighted or not. They just are not there. Can anyone tell me why there is not an icon for every exploitable resource?

[@QwartzyG]

Put the playback speed at 1.5x, it helps

[@TheSaxyGamer]

All the people that normally say I talk too fast might die if they attempt that one XD.

[@piotrjedrzejczak7782]

It's alright. You just spare time this way. Like, there isn't that much happening ingame, just showing the tiles and explaining. And it is still understandable.

[@QwartzyG]

The Saxy Gamer damn, and I thought I was slow. I mean it's okay it's just that there wasn't much to talk about in this video and it was mostly really basic stuff, so it was better to skip over the fluff.

[@karolsekula4629]

Whay if I put a farm on a tile with rice/wheat or something like that will it increase the food and production

[@jonathancoons2801]

what do you know about geothermal fissures? can you settle on one? is there an advantage?

[@hadracks]

They aren't generally useful. I think there is not very good faith that uses them and I think Romans can use for heated baths. The one time they are useful is in energy production. You can use a worker in later game to build a geothermal power plant. A very cheap way to get electricity.

[@joshmeek2366]

Quick question if I settle on a resource be it bonus luxury strategic etc, does that make the resource go away or will my city work it like normal, assuming I have the proper tech researched?

[@Nimrodx3]

Joshua Meek you get the luxury AND yields, even if you don’t have the tech

[@lori7828]

I can't make a city with my settler unless it's one that is pre-selectedbt the AI. How do I fix that?

[@odulkucuk]

Best videos for Civ that i've seen. Great kudos! One quick question about the working tile selection when you mentioned going aggressive 2nd build settler: When you go with 2/2 tile, you end up having scout at 6th turn and citizen surplus at 7th, that makes you spend an additional turn to start building a settler (Btw, it's not a total lose, since you use that extra turn for another thing's build partially) But if you go with 3/0 tile, you end with 5 turn surplus and 9 turn scout production, whick makes you lose 4 turns for building a settler as a 2nd order build. So that postpones literally 4 turns your 2nd city settlement. Would it be wrong to say this?

[@filipgasic2642]

Yeah i got to this conclusion too. An answer would be good

[@AtheistToSeekToKnow]

what game speed that this video is being played at ????

[@Mubban]

looks like a standard speed game

[@AtheistToSeekToKnow]

thanks

[@joshual26802]

I love your Civ 6 tips series of videos! Could you do one similar to this one, but discuss more long term strategies in terms of tile improvements and district placement? (or if you've already covered that, could you send a link? I skimmed your videos, but didn't see anything like this)

[@TheSaxyGamer]

Sure! I'l probably do two separate videos on tile improvements and district placement sometime in the near future!

[@gustavobarrera564]

I like your videos, very informative. However, the constant clicking is distracting, more so if youre using headphones

[@jasonhalbert5082]

I'm stuck and can't find my answer anywhere. I can't build a quarry and can't get iron either. I have reached everything needed to get both. I have mines built but can not figure out how to improve tiles to get the advanced stuff.

[@Beast-1431]

Jason Halbert you possibly need to unlock the mining tech still. Same goes for pastures and other luxuries

[@sallygurl8591]

Great video, but upset at the lack of Saxophone :(

[@nauvalromzi5951]

great vids!

[@tipsy7989]

how many tiles should cities be apart? i am a beginner

[@Thomasnmi]

6

[@matthewthompson7489]

Perhaps you should have settled on the diamond, get immediate gold and a good harbour site.

[@ogmangler8820]

So wait...it's not always beneficial to have a worker improve every tile?

[@0verkilla]

it's not a must in the early game

[@hadracks]

Everything has a cost. Built troops, production, district, etc. Eventually I try to have every worked to be improved but improved tiles are little use if barbarians keep pillaging your improvements.

[@davidhardwick3816]

Love your videos, but it would be nice if you didn't constantly zoom in/out - I personally find it really distracting!

[@DeleriousOdyssey]

You're petty af, dude.

[@tobiahdyess2782]

When I click citizen management none of those icons pop up

[@0verkilla]

press Y

[@RandomRandy2582]

How do you repair a pillaged mine?

[@TheSaxyGamer]

You can use a builder. Place the builder on the pillaged improvement and there should be a repair option that comes up.

[@jan-lukas]

@@TheSaxyGamer the repair button is next to the move button

[@diegopierrottet525]

Thanks for the informative video. Critique: easy on the zoom and pan while you talk, I'm not in your head.. makes me dizzy

[@Elliottallen]

My workers are bugged out and not producing my uranium

[@fredveefrqc4072]

i dont have the expention and i deleted a thea tile like an idiot to make my first city XD

[@Colt3d]

When you place the city on the exotic or strategic resource you still acquire it , its just not shown in the mini map

[@jan-lukas]

It's good to place a city on a luxury, because 1.:you get the luxury without having to improve the tile 2.:you get something like +1 Faith or +2 Gold for free from early on

[@Geck_Gxng]

I got 35 hours and havent played in a while and I still didnt know some of this shit lmaooo

[@steeneugenpoulsen8174]

This video would be a lot better if you had bothered to learn how the game choose what tiles to work. There is NOTHING that make it choose the diamond tile, because it is a diamond tile, the chooser is completely blind as to what type of tile it is. 1: There is a default 100% logical system for choosing tiles based on yields, 10 yields no matter type is better than a 9 yield tile. If you have two 3 yields tiles, the game choose tiles based on a default, if you use the UI you can modify the default, to say choose 3 food tile over a 2 food and 1 production.

[@anthonybertuzzi9686]

talk in circles much
