Well here is an example of a turn 189 peaceful science victory with Aztecs. Couple of notes: I set the game up on settler difficulty, standard Pangaea with 2 opponents and legendary start, to really try and swing the odds in my favor. although there are a couple of downsides to these settings...

Cool Idea, I'll follow with interest. To the tread topic more generally. I'm interested on others thoughts on the Exploration Civic for SV, Specifically: When to complete it? Before/After - Civil Service (meritocracy) - Guilds (Banking boost) - Enlightenment (Rationalism) Also to get the...

the highest possible workable tile yields would come from seaside resorts. They give gold equal to appeal and there is a dozen different ways to inflate this very high if you can stack a few together. On top of that there is gold yields from certain natural wonders and gold from Petra if its a...

Religious Victory Turn 158 Score 453 Civ: Persia took me 3 restarts to get a stone opener for Stonehenge. Went with Japan as other civ Military: opened military district. Used horsemen then knights then Calvary. with a mix of battering ram and siege tower, (preference being siege tower but...

Photi Sums it up well, however there is one exception that proves the rule - floodplains. You would thing they work the same as hills being a non removable feature but they don't and you receive no benefit for settling on them. Go figure.

A little one in the grand scheme but very annoying in a diplomacy heavy game: No Alert that your diplomatic deals have expired other than friendships/alliances, or any informative screen/area you can quickly view current ones other that the top bar GPT drop down which is super light on info and...

Science Victory Turn 208 Score 729 Did it 100% peaceful for a change. - How many cities did you settle or capture? Settled 22 happy cities - What did you prioritize for research and policies? Districts. Actually really neglected monuments this time round. Used the double industry card as...

- Where did you settle your capital city? Your second city? after tossing and turning I settled on the rice. The dessert reveled by the opening warrior move encouraged me south. settled 2nd city to the west next to the horses. - What did you research and which policies did you choose and why...

Wow, now that is an interesting start position, Thanks Mods! there are a lot of interesting starting options there: 1. settle in place turn 1. a standard 4f 2p start but with 4 very good expansion tiles in 2nd ring so some early tile purchases could give great tiles quickly without moving any...

Yes you dont gain any foreign tourists per turn with a civ you are yet to officially meet. Once you start generating tourism, its important to meet all of the major civs. My best advice would be hop over to the civ6 strategy & tips forum an find the sticky tourism guide by Victoria. Finding the...

Culture Victory turn 127 26/24 tourists 227 tourism - How many cities did you settle or capture? 11 in the end. Took a slightly different approach to my usual style, putting emphasis on raid/pillaging over straight up conquering, taking everything not bolted down from Kandy, Kongo, Germany and...

Turn 100 Sitting at 5/20 tourists, 81 tourism - Where did you settle your city? settled 1 tile west on plains hill, settled 2nd city to the north near the Nat Wonder. -What did you research and which policies did you choose and why? So my strategy was focus on military district early and to...

Well to me it seems a smart move to spend a turn crossing the river to the plains hill. setting up a 4f 5p 1g start, hard to top that. compared to the 4f 2p turn 1 start looks no contest. Only down side being putting the horses into 3rd tile ring, but two early tile purchases and a military...

Finished my run-through to mars by 1300AD SV turn 191 Had a funny map, 5 main continents 4 of which really reminded me of Europe, Africa and North, south America with an odd extra in the middle down south I guess you could call it Australia but its to close to the America's to fit the analogy...
