Every capital has a palace, its what gives you the extra yields at the start of the game. The other buildings are in the buildings in the Government Plaza and Diplomatic Quarter districts. "+1 to all yields" means +1 additional food, gold, production, science, culture, and faith since those are the yields cities have. So, if you build your Government Plaza and Diplomatic Quarter in your capital, once you have the buildings in those districts build your capital will receive +6 additional food, gold, production, science, culture, and faith.
I mean, Civ is a game where you settle the city of Washington DC as an immortal Theodore Roosevelt in the year 4000 BC. so expecting any kind of "realism" is misguided. Units are just units. There are no "people" in Civ in any real sense. Even the citizens in a city are ageless and unaging and can only be killed by a natural disaster or the city being conquered.
I understand your argument; we can't have the game follow realism everywhere, as, first of all, that would just be real life, and it wouldn't resemble a Civ game. Having civilization with the same 'leader' for 6000 years doesn't follow realism, but it works game mechanically and is enjoyable. However, I have to argue that Civilization 6 is great because it incorporates some realism. For example, in the game, we play on a map that, in many ways, represents how the Earth looks. The map includes Earth-like elements such as land, water, and resources that exist in the real world, trying to make those resources behave as they would in reality. Another example is the technologies that represent real innovations in the real world.
Yeah, in the early game, every turn advances the years much more rapidly than in the late game. It's almost as if you don't have the same control over these groups of people in the early years; hence, they tend to move more slowely, akin to the speed of migration.Think of these maps when you move your units in the early game

This happens from time to time… But… you are supposed still to have a settler, not have the city already settled, that’s weird
It’s the mods you’re using.
Thanks. I'm not sure which Mod is causing the city to be settled from the start, but I deactivated a handful of mods and tried to start a new game and that seemed to work. The mods that could be the culprit include...
If you're referring to leaders appearing as still images and not animated models that could be fixed by video settings within the game settings. At least, that was the reason for me why leader scenes weren't animated in Civ V, because the game determined that my PC specs would find rendering animated scenes too taxing, so I had to turn them on manually. (I haven't had any issue with leader scenes in Civ VI, but I'm assuming that it's the same reason).
