Each Civ VI Governor Explained in 60 Seconds or Less

[@DocksEcky]

Great video! I will now continue to only promote Pingala, leave him in my capital, and randomly put the other Governors in my cities and pay no attention to what their abilities do!

[@RidicAcidic]

Perfect!

[@mirandabee2323]

I love your drawings of the governors!!

[@ishthewall1915]

I would recommend paying at least some attention to Magnus, but the others are more ok to ignore

[@callmemilk3352]

That's exactly what I do lol

[@artmmslv]

My favourite play style is Tokugawa played around Magnus and a bunch of trade routes. A lot of cities and large yield in each

[@Zondagskind.Gaming]

Just like Liang's City Parks, this video provides Culture and Amenities to all of us.

[@RidicAcidic]

Having your voice was my extra builder charge

[@anilkarakaya9343]

You are a better source of amenities

[@Audisknfj]

I love how every governor has a background music from civ 6 except Victor, whose background music came from civ 5’s Brazil’s war theme

[@RidicAcidic]

I could NOT find a civ 6 song that went hard enough to do Victor justice

[@icehouse32oz]

The production value is 10/10 everything is so pretty and the information is to the point

[@RidicAcidic]

Thank you! Keeping it to the point is always priority number 1 for me!

[@TornadoADV]

A Turkish only Governor who's sole purpose is to deny war crimes you committed on other civs. Whew, lads!

[@MrAsaqe]

It also denies corruption, land theft, spies causing mysterious disappearances of money. Famous people and copyright.

[@maximilianrobespierre8365]

historically Ibrahim Pargali was ethnic Greek but that kind off ruins the joke

[@SolarSillySolace]

No wonder they never got anything for the shit they did to the armenia- wait what no i wasn’t saying anything.

[@natesirovatka2256]

Ursa being the VA for Amani makes so much sense, considering his love of City States. Good choice!

[@RidicAcidic]

I asked each of them which one they wanted to do and he was VERY adamant on voicing Amani's segment lol

[@UrsaRyan]

[@GFortz]

One often overlooked benefit of Victor - aside from military units, his free promotion actually applies (and gives the success chance that comes with it) to SPIES trained in the city he governs!

[@RidicAcidic]

Stack this with the intelligence agency and there isn't much other civs can do against you sending James Bonds right out the gate

[@temuguntur_amgalan1639]

Thanks didn't know that. My spies are at finally going to see some action.

[@1lucia]

I just got into the game and watched this assuming this tutorial to be a staple in the Civ community, with the video having at least half a million views and the channel having about the same amount of subs, then I saw that the video is only 1 day old with less than 10k views on a channel with only 12k subs I was shocked. What an incredible video! It deserves 100x what it currently has though, both the video and the channel! :P

[@RidicAcidic]

Why thank you! I'm sure I'll get there someday!

[@hironguyen1708]

I love that you collab with many other KZbinrs to make this video!

[@Skeloperch]

I'm not sure Reyna is actually the weakest. Her +2 gold per population is HUGE early on. She's not for every game, but I've had games where I settle a city with a bunch of food tiles and get ~10 pop before the Ancient Era ends. She's a great secondary governor after Magnus' first 2 promotions since she can double or triple your GPT early on and let you snowball with units and buildings.

[@antokarman2064]

I always use reyna if i find a great city coast tile (neqr sea resource and a river) to build city, harbor, commercial districts combo. Though that city usually lacks production

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

She's also fantastic in very water heavy maps, harbor adjacencies are kinda crazy. She's also a natural fit if you're going wide early. The extra gold per turn can result in being able to buy settlers or builders, or she can be passed around to get new cities rolling more quickly.

[@VHToff0li]

I love putting her in a city with great zimbawe to increase gold from trade routes

[@diegoortiz7104]

Man just started playing this game and I’m so happy their are still modern guides out like yours that explain everything so easily your a life saver great video hope to see more in the future sub for sure ! 👍

[@RidicAcidic]

Thank you, glad the video helped!

[@Geo981]

Amazing video! I picked up civ a while ago and only now realized just how much value I was missing on certain governors

[@Phlebas]

To add a bit of a challenge to my games lately, I've been randomly pre-selecting governors at the beginning of each game and limiting myself. I'll always have my "victory condition governor" (eg. Pingala for science and culture, Moksha for religion, Amani for diplomacy, and Victor for domination), but I'll always choose a random number between one and six to see how many additional governors I can have, then choose those additional ones at random. The main reason I do this is that it incentivizes me to go for certain promotions that I might otherwise ignore while also forcing me to make do without certain governors that I'm used to taking for granted. For example, in my current domination game, I've allowed myself to use every governor _except_ Pingala. Normally, Pingala would be my go-to first governor, so I felt like I was struggling with science for the first little bit. It felt a lot more satisfying to turn that situation around (by capturing cities with campuses in them). In the meantime, I have Liang in one of my coastal cities with the waterworks, fisheries, and parks and rec promotions and it's just kind of neat to see that city grow into a powerhouse. Normally, Liang is the governor who I ignore the most; I use her for the extra builder charges and that's about it.

[@relix7373]

I've always found it really difficult to use governors other than Magnus, Pingala, and Victor in any meaningful way. Glad to see I'm not crazy.

[@Krowkage]

Awesome video and not complicated to understand thank you!

[@aussymo420]

Great video ❤

[@Sukharno2121]

It may be suboptimal but I start with magnus to make a big sttler push in the early game and then transfer him to the city with the government plaza with bonus for settler production. I may be a few turns behind to get the second city but after that an aggressive expansion is possible at relatively low cost.

[@thumper8684]

Don't get me wrong. Governors are still just heap of buttons to add to an overpacked dashboard, but this video did help a fair bit. {edit} I added the word fair.

[@Death2Weebs]

Really nice video

[@Hellsrest100]

Great vid :D

[@samueltrusik3251]

I never knew there was an eigth governor! Will have to play the Ottomans I guess.

[@rafaelperdigao7127]

A few part of youtube users will recognize the genius touch in the thumb of your video 😂

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

Moksha has a special note for if you're dumping religion as well. If you've dumped religion, then while your Faith income is probably pretty low, you also probably have nearly nothing using it, meaning you can build up massive reserves of it with no real outlet for it. Towards the later stages of a game, if you have nothing else pressing, grabbing Moshka, and promoting him ASAP can hyperspeed develop new cities, and make them competitive with much older ones by throwing up tons of infrastructure instantly, with a currency that you have a massive supply of but nothing else to do with it.

[@robertbroniarczyk9862]

Im late but one small correction is that you can actually get infinite governor upgrades with the final civic which is kinda a win more but still its fun and good to know

[@RidicAcidic]

I was going to mention it, but if you're at the end of the civic tree you already know what you're doing and/or winning

[@CookieTaiga]

Love the vid now do the Secret Sociaty ❤😊😊

Does anyone else find that Reyna's Forestry Management applies to improved tiles as well? Or is that just some mod I'm using messing things up in an unexpected way?

[@caseyledoux1944]

Its almost impossible to have a fun domination game without victor i hope in civ 7 you get a minimum 10 turns before you lose a captured city to loyalty

[@Wevan2]

What is the song at 1:48? I swear i've heard it before, it's like some folk song from the balkans

[@RidicAcidic]

The intro plays Greece's theme from Civ 6, idk the proper name for it though

[@thomascoppens8498]

It sounds like it's based on Seikilos' Epitaph, the oldest(?) melody we had found a written record of.

[@Wevan2]

@@thomascoppens8498 yes thats it thank you!

You actually just need Gathering Storm. If you have Gathering Storm, the only thing Rise & Fall adds is new civs.
