Is this the 'Godliest' Way to Beat Civ 6?

Civilization 6 or Civ VI as many like to call it is a classical 4X hex based grand strategy spanning the ages from the start of Civilization to the start of the great space age. There are several ways of winning a game of CIV 6. You can defeat your enemies, out science and tech your rivals, win the game of tourism and culture. And finally get a religious victory. A Religion only victory occurs when the player partakes in none of the other forms of victory and simply converts half of all other player civs cities. Now many would say that CIVILIZATION 6 IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME WITH NO EXPLOITS. However today I present to you the Religion Only Challenge. And as you will soon discover something is slightly unbalanced in civilization 6 at the moment.
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy this Civilization 6 challenge!

My last cup of tea: This morning, I was upset, I had an art project due within a few days, and I didn't feel like doing it. U just sat there staring at some paper, however, I knew I had to do it! So I got up, made my myself some lovely Yorkshire tea, added a bit of milk, waited a few minutes, and drank it all. Before I knew it, the art project was completed to the highest standard, and all thanks to Yorkshire tea, thier tea is truly magical!
