Why would you bother with a settle, reducing a pop in your precious capital, when you can just slam into your closest neighbor (or some city-states) and take their stuff, all improved? And usually they have a free settler waiting in the capital as well. I very rarely build settlers early, that...

Thats why my build order is Warrior->Builder (need 3 improvements for Agoge) -> Slinger/Archerx3 AI on Deity is known to be a major ass, and come nuke your capital as early as turn 8, even if he is freakin' 15 tiles away. Never again. So my initial warrior is exploring (need to clear barb...

That is an incredible writeup man. That being said, I tend to get bored just juggling tech tree, and usually just go and take a bunch of capitals with my tank armies to wrap the game =)

Yeah some tech descriptions are vague at best. Very annoying, considering this is supposed to be strategic choice to research something, when you have no idea even what it does.

Seems to be harder now, and you actually have to actively spam prayers, instead of just building 2 holy sites with shrines and use GPP pink card =(

Yeah the religion doesn't seem to be that interesting as it was in Civ 5. Ghandi and Vicky just spam gazillion of apostles and send them your way, because obviously you have the most effectively located and numerous cities. Like, literally it's a swarm of apostles. It is extremely hard for a...

Man, I do not know what you are doing wrong. I play Deity, standard speed. I build second warrior from start to scout for world wonder eureka a.s.a.p. and research Animal Husbandry->Archery->Astrology. - If I see a religious city-state nearby, I spam 3-4 slingers to upgrade into Archers, get in...

Huh? I always found it reliably useful on Deity. Yes you don't have the violet slot until you unlock governments, so rush governments. - Build monuments everywhere. It also helps when you capture cities with monuments - God of the open sky pantheon helps too with extra culture Then you slap...

Uh easy.. Get Theology so you can buy land units for faith. Anyone looks funny at you, you slam 5k faith into latest era units and wipe them off the face of the earth.

So basically, somewhat useful specialists went from Civ 5 into totally useless in civ 6

The one and only game I went for it, I got it, on Deity. It's simple - if it is not up by turn 20-30, it means AIs don't have stones next to their capitals, so you are safe to snatch it. Having a worker chopping for it nonstop also helps. And yes, another issue is that you actually need a...

Hello buddy, I see you built some walls?

Yeah, especially when you roll Pangea. All those nasty boats swimming around and I'm like "LIZZY RELAX, I HAVE NO HARBORS, PISS OFF!"

Man, that guy just LOVES to spam his donkeys. I had like 10 going my way few games ago, he was really pushing it. That's why I call him Donkey-lover now.

Nah man I tried, and it looks like you need Campuses and science stuff even with a lot of cities to keep teching at good speed. Culture is easy with monuments, pastures pantheon and policies, but science slows down considerably from Renaissance and onward as prices grow. When you get policies...
