How to Analyze Start Locations in Civ 6 Rise and Fall a Guide to your Settling Strategy

Hey guys, PotatoMcWhiskey here with a video on how to settler your first city in Civ 6. I see a lot of people struggle with this so I thought it would be worth it to make a guide talking about what goes through my head when I'm choosing a starting location.

I've always been too afraid to move my settlers since Civ 5 when my starting settler was taken by a barbarian on the second turn.

My brain rebels at settling on luxuries and bonuses, but you're definitely right about it.

[@fleet3995]

Another advantage to settling on a luxury is that you can't remove luxury resources so they block potential district placements

Couldn't understand your reasoning for wanting to set up districts so early then DING DING DING! You mentioned that just starting the district locked in the price. Now I've got a whole lotta things I need to try.

Awesome analysis. I'm not that good of player (mostly stick at prince level). Will take your hints at heart on my next game!

[@user-ft3jq5vi2l]

Honestly my OCD is half the reason I'm so bad at this game: I see unimproved resources and I immediately get builders, wether I need them or not, and always have all the buildings in each district, diverting production from more nesessary stuff.

"Let's quickly talk about how we're going to settle in Civ 6"... 30 minutes later...

[@MonkeyspankO]

lol, I have never had a starting location like that...informative video btw, always good to hear new ways to game the ai on deity. in 300+hours playing, I never realized you don't loose the lux by settling on it. mind blown! game changer!

This is the first comment I’ve made on a KZbin video in literally years, but I wanted to thank you. I picked up Civ 6 about a week ago and have been watching videos on here in my spare time to try and understand it better (there’s a lot to learn) - This is easily the best one I’ve come across so far. I really love that you explained your thought process rather than just showing us what you do, I feel like I’m going to make way better decisions to set up my game now! Subbed!

Ah, CIV VI: the game that tells you that all CO2 emissions stay in the atmosphere FOREVER and a global flood apocalypse is inevitable.

[@EimileMabry]

Omfg I’ve been looking for a guide like this forever. Thank you for helping me to be merely mediocre at this game instead of flaming garbage.

[@Skybird_]

Wow, learned more in 20 mins, than I have by playing Civ for years! Nice level of detail, and really like how you explain the why, as well as the how. Good job! More please!

[@josuanygren]

Love the video, very helpful. You should consider doing more tutorials :)

[@pennyc7833]

So glad I watched this video because I only just recently started playing after watching someone's let's play of the game and I had no idea about settling on top of resources! So many maps I avoided because the soldiers being slowed down by hills and forests! lol

[@soundfx68]

As somebody who's just started playing on PS4, very useful, a few things I've never considered or misunderstood!

[@tetragon2137]

Australia's strange bonuses flip some of these axioms on their heads. All of a sudden, coasts are more valuable than Freshwater alone, and mines are more awkward since they mess around with the Appeal bonus of your districts.

[@pohlse]

Playing Civ since it launched and this video taught me a whole different way to think about city placement. Thank you. Your strategies and the thought processes behind them are fascinating. Please consider doing some more like this.

Amazing, learned so much about a game that I have 900 hours in...starting up a new one with this knowledge. Thanks
