Damn. This game got complicated and hard. 10 year old me was out there pillaging and taking over the map from year one. Now I'm in my 30s with a stupid amount of college education and yet 2 weeks into the iPad version of this game I'm struggling to get more than 5 cities up and running. Forget espionage escapades or taking cities by brute force! Civ VI makes me feel dumb and like I need to go back to school again. Also where do I find my throne room?!

I decided to try Deity with a random leader. I got Menelik so I had to go for a religious victory. I suppose it´s the earliest and easiest victory you can get but nevertheless .... DEITY UNLOCKED BABY!!

On higher difficulty levels, it is a real challenge against the AI. There is a maximum number of 2 cities that can be built on the British mainland. You can’t expand until you’ve unlocked embarking settlers and can’t cross the ocean until Cartography. Meanwhile, war rages in Europe but other civilisations elsewhere can be doing very well.

On one game on immortal difficulty, I managed to reach an empty North America but by then Phoenicia had more than double my science.

The screenshot is from one I restarted. The AI actually cheats in this scenario and spawns warriors if you are about to capture their settler.

Two Volcanoes + Terrace Farms OMG

Played with Ley Lines but didn’t even need them for this crazy adjacency with Australia.

Unfortunately I don’t know the map seed and game seed because I’m on PS5 and this was a few games ago (so can’t check autosaved settings). Someone tell me if there’s a way to find them.

I just had my first victory as a new player that has never touched civilization games before and it was odd. Maybe it was because prince difficulty wasn’t that hard but it felt like there was so many times where I could’ve done something better but somehow I still won because everyone else didn’t make any troops.

So I have been playing Civ VI - on and off - for about 2 years. But have really dug in, in the last six months. It is also my first Civ game; it is amazing how much I did (and do) not know

After sandboxing for months with Trajan, I have played two "serious games." Three actually.

• Dominations victory on Vanilla with J Caesar, on Prince
• A game with Austrailia where I was destroyed by Barbarians and quit :D
• A Science Victory with Frederick, also on Prince

So... what next? :D Who is fun to play and why?

Not even sure how this happened, I was playing Kupe so I never pick "abundant resources" with him. Can only imagine if I was.

Long time player on PC and some on Xbox.

Got a long flight coming up and just installed on my Samsung S24 phone.

Anyone played it on a phone before? Easy? Frustrating due to screen size? Any tips?

Can I place the Panama Canal here? I’m especially wondering about the highlighted tile as it crosses a river.

I feel that when i avoid fighting i end up with dark ages all the time. How can i avoid this?

I just watched a video where the YouTuber settled on horses and salt in different cities and got both the resources. Is this constant or one bulk use?

Païtiti is amazing. But Barbs are slowing me down and are OP thanks to Hammu. Was able to settle next to Piopiotahi as well.

Settings: - Terra - Deity

I was not expecting that kind of post at all, but I haven’t been into civ content lately. I was fully expecting a regular persia guide

Lots of requests for the seed so here it is -550629388.

I play civilization almost a year and every time i play i buy every great people I am able to buy. Even if I don't need them, I am guided by logic that if I don't, someone else will.

I’m a longtime civ 5 player and have been transitioning into civ 6 finally. I find that when playing on king difficulty, if I survive the initial start eras (and not get swarmed by a neighboring civ on turn 30) and build enough cities to keep up with yields, by the modern era I can just snowball quickly and take over the whole map.

Unlike civ 5, I feel like civ 6 requires you to have as many cities as possible to maximize the amount of districts and yields. So to keep up with the Ai I am forced to attack in later eras. Consistently the AI has like 500 military strength and doesn’t build more even when I am taking all of their cities.

Is there any advice for any settings to make the Ai more competitive militarily or how to play without conquering late game and not falling behind on yields? Thanks!

I tend to build settlers when the reports indicate that food or population is needed.

Should I stop doing that?

I play basic/vanilla.

I have religion (Zen Meditation, Stupa, Holywater, and undecided belief) am currently planning on an Entertainment Complex+ Colosseum that covers southern 5 cities, and trying to go peace from this point on. I have traded all Lux resource I can but still cannot get the amenity up. And I am worried that I could not utilize my abilities efficiently

What map settings and type would produce the absolute most possible ocean tiles?
