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

The reality will fight back in the next expansion

@@OhNoTheFace Can't wait for them expansionists to squirm at the long term advantage of foresight :P

Best comment hahahah

Don't worry, Brazil is rushing to end the game by 2040 so it won't matter

Martin Fleetwood Good point man

I usually just figure things out for myself, so I haven't read it. But isn't there a huge encyclopedia in civ?

Civ has had probably the most beneficial manual in video game existence for a while and it's built into the game. It's just there's only so much a manual can say, especially when Civ has so many bits and pieces.

@@skylerdrabing4323 Every bot if the code is documented in house. The rules of the game could be exposed if Firaxis and 2K and Steam thought there was enough demand for that to make it worth their while.

​@Dawn Clark I agree, Civ 3 and 4 Had comprehensive Civilopedias/Manuals, Civ 5 seemed okay but after playing the series Im not sure if it would've been harder to understand if I was new. Im noticing with Civ 6 a lot of information I need isn't there and some of the entries are just redundant

Civ 6 starts with with a warrior though. Send that dude off to cover the direction you want to explore with your settler.

I don't think it's possible to have your settler taken on second turn in civ 5

Once?

and that is the story of the civilization that never was loll

@@Woolfix1 unless he was just exaggerating how quickly his settler was taken and you're just being pedantic 🤔

I know right, I have same thing. It also rebels at the thought of harvesting resources lol

Yeah those mental barriers can happen man, good to just try break through them.

Harvesting is short term gain in exchange for long term gain, but on the long term you'll sometimes want to use some tiles with resources for districts or wonders, so it's not so bad to harvest resources if you're planning ahead.

Best wonder strategy in all Civ games has always been taking them, not making them. Except maybe powerful ones like Ruhr Valley or Big Ben.

IKR, I couldn't believe I'd heard him right.

Dennis Harrison potato doesnt yet have a college degree

Moving 2 turns for the pigs is not worth it. You get the gold anyway... you put a citizen on it. Lol.

Ian Rust you dont need to spend a builder charge and you get it immediatly

Ian Rust you still get the goldbecause its a lux resource and you van sell the lux for even more gold very early

Know what you mean Mad .... building knight and running into tanks 6 tiles outside of your city :) :)

And nukes are dealing no damage to ecology

Ikr it's broken AF. But it's true capitalism. Play as Cheney, spread fracking, baby can go more places.

@@АртёмГаврилов-т8б actually look at bikini atoll it's us who can't stay there. Short lived life doesn't care about radiation as much.

@@crhu319 capitalism is when the state does stuff

Well, what do you think happens to CO2 emissions? They don't just disappear over time you know.

Trance104 “one more turn”

Ahah. Actually, when you think about it, 30 minutes is pretty quick in term of "Civilization game" timing. I mean, even "small" game ends up lasting hours so...

Nothing is quick in civ 6, unless it's me losing a game on anything close to diety

@@StabbyMcBlade too relatable lol

“I’m going to play Civ VI for like 20 minutes.” -Said no one ever. Reality: **starts a game at 1:30pm** **stopped at 1:30am**

Josua Nygren We'll see if I make more.

Same I hate having to chop or having unimproved tiles

Wow I have found myself

You speak the truth 🙌🏻

Australia has become my favorite Civ. Playing them has become hard because they often go against my better instincts in the beginning. I overprioritize cattle and coastal locations and suddenly deserts aren't off-putting...

EIfel tower is a must have wonder with austalia...

Eimile Mabry he is a pro , welcome here😉

Yes

@@SmashingSnow Yes, please...

I guess this is what you're looking for: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gVxDN1P4T_Y.html

I'll see if I make another

FalcomPSX I don't know how many I'll make.

True.. Folks put cities on luxuries to guard it from raiders, to get the yields before they have a worker there etc Sometimes I just plonk a 1 size city on a luxury to claim it and never develop the city.. Depends on your faction and strategy :)

You wouldn't be able to take advantage of ai to trade for gold, at least not to the same effect

I'm sure he could just save it to continue later LOL

rimservices Good catch.

Use settler for scout then reload at turn 10 for human to have some cheat, settlers are have extra sight. :))

same its totally different!

For real. I just started playing on the setting just slower than standard and I love the extended eras.

YES ! Nothing better than a (very ((very) (very))) long game. With the mods Tech tree and Civic tree X1,5 or X2.

Marathon is absolute hell in 6 late game. Sorry.

@@Wjw129 well that's true. But in Civ Vi, I never play after the Industrial/modern era

@@jojolapatate6662 Then you don't play the game.

Makes me feel like shitting the bed tbh

lmao

Except that now it’s completely cross-platform. Even iOS

@@Poisonchapstick Wait, since when? I thought the Switch edition didn't even have online multiplayer

@@baconeater4133 Oops I misspoke. I meant to say it was on all platforms, since they said "computer games".

I had always avoided to settle on luxuries to work on it. :(

@@BirTakimFikirler same here, but if you're on deity, and every turn counts, settling on it right away can give you a huge early boost. plus you can sell to the ai much earlier. so even more cash

Yes.

Awesome, thanks. I've always been hesitant to settle on them in fear that I lose them.

I wonder if you have watched the video at all.

To be fair I only think he mentioned it 15 times.

Woods disappear if you settle on them, you don't get the production bonus from cutting them down either.

Still have to consider that production needed for your projects is doubled in epic, and halved in online speed. So in fact, in epic if you move 2 turns, you "earn" like 2 turns compared as if you did this in Normal. And you'll "lost" one turn compared to normal if you move you settler one turn before founding your city. So the impact due to game speed is very low. Game speed especially has effect on exploration, and battle plannification (double time to quick make a unit to protect if not prepare during a war).

Not if you're playing against humans.

F

Yeah this is the change from "Rise and Fall" to "Gathering Storm" expansions.

SMH SMH Cheers

Face66 Yeah man, it is what it is

Lengthy is good, when the content is good. This one is double plus good.

SporadiK. Nah. 29 mins ain’t lengthy. 3 hours would be

Removing forests I think, by removing them with a builder you gain a small burst of production for the turn and reduce the turns that are required for your city to build something.

You're welcome man!

+2 production I think

Elwin Broeksma its because they give an additional production over flat land as well as a defensive bonus

you only have 1 citizen when you settle. so settle on the highest rated tile. easy logic. yes time is wasted but in the long run you win out easily.

Counter their Sabotage and Subterfuge If you are always settling on the highest value tile, you are certainly doing it wrong. The value of the tile you are settling on does come into consideration. But it’s far from the only thing you should consider.

Let's say you have 2 tiles that produce 5 resources each, and you start on a tile that has 3 resources. If you settle instantly, you will work one of the 5 for a few turns get an additional population and then work the secondary resource tile. Usually it takes about 4 turns to get an additional pop. So that's 36 resources in 4 turns; 114 resources in 10 turns. If you spend 1 turn moving, you will instead generate 10 resources per turn. However it will probably likely still take you 4 turns to get an additional population, and that additional population will likely end up working the 3 resource tile you had skipped before. That's 30 resources in 4 turns; 40 in 5 turns to get your second citizen; 105 resources in 10 turns. So, it's not really an early game advantage to move around during the start of the game. Now there is a potential advantage in the mid game. In that if you want to work better tile than that 3 tile, you will have the option to do so. However the inherent disadvantage is that you can't get the upgrade bonus from the other tiles. For example, a Mine provides +3 Production and +1 Adjacency for Industries. This will be locked off if you settle your city on top instead of building a mine.

It's not disingenuous at all - it's just good play. Getting an extra cog right off the bat is a huge deal - you don't have to assign a citizen to it so you can work other tiles, you're getting your first units out that much better, you're exploring faster as a result (getting more huts, more first meeting envoys), and making settlers faster. Civ is a snowball game - getting the maximum out of your city location impacts your entire game.

@@ChessJew You're right, it's a snowball game, but we have proven that because you delay your population growth, the amount of extra resources is actually incredibly neutral. There is no great advantage or disadvantage to moving or settling in place in MOST cases.

Hedel Torres The way I understand it is whichever tile you settle a city on will have a minimum yield of 2 food 1 production regardless of what it was prior to being settled. If the tile yield exceeds 2 food 1 production prior to settling, like say 2 food 2 production 3 gold, then nothing really changes and your pre city yield is the same as your post city yield.

Hedel Torres - you get the bonus from tile type and luxury type, but when you settle on the forrest, the production from forrest disappears.

Here is the city yield: Start with what the tile shows. Remove any bonus for marsh, forest. Then, if food is 0 or 1, make it 2. And if gears is 0, make it 1.

lol

I played Beyond Earth, but there were scary aliens, so I stopped playing until Civ 6 came out. Friends don't let friends play games with scary aliens.

Yeah, i kinda hate it how some 6 mechanics are complete opposites of previous civs dont make much sense either.
