Civilization VI - Game of the Month 117 (15 Aug 21)​

Welcome to the 117th game in the 6OTM Series! These games will allow new and old GOTM fans to try out the new features in Civ6 in a friendly environment. Participants are encouraged to post questions, stories, advice, tricks and failures in the dedicated game threads (described below). Each game will specify the Civ you will play and the Victory Condition to strive for. We will be working to refine the 6otM concept as we move ahead with the series. Gifting of cities is an exploit in a religious VC as the AI cant see that it will lose if it accepts the cities.

Must Read!

We would like to ask you to abide by our most sacred rule: Don’t replay any turns! If you make a mistake, accept it and try to recover. To ensure fair play and prevent results exclusions, please set your Autosaves to 1 turn. In the event of a computer crash while playing, just reload to the previous save and play it as closely to how you played it the first time. Please let Leif know (via Conversation (Private Message)) if you experienced a crash and how many turns you replayed.

Spoiler :

Announcement thread (this one): This thread is used to announce the game and clarify the settings and rules (don't be afraid to ask questions). It's also used to discuss the game before you start, and post problems with opening the save. Once you have opened the save, DO NOT POST in the Announcement thread, even non game-related information. Instead use the next thread.

Opening Actions thread: This thread is used to discuss the game's opening decisions and strategies through the first 100 or so turns. Here you can post questions related to the game and share your achievements/anger/frustration/victories while you play. We encourage players to use the spoiler tags for screenshot.

After Actions thread: In this thread you can post the results of your game. Please state your victory/loss date and final score (preferably in the post title) and describe your path to glory in this post! Players are encouraged to provide feedback on the game. Some players like to replay the game, and although we will not record the results from a replay, you can still post your new experiences.

The save is attached below.

Tough choices for settling. Definitely not in place as we would want a good harbor. Most likely on the grass to the south.

One could also settle 1W. The harbour west of it. And, of course, the jungle next to mountain, fissure and reef (!) for a really nice campus.

 

[Vargas1]

I like settling on the fissure, which leaves room for a second city with a +4 harbor and fresh water on the hill southwest of the warrior. And a +6 or more campus in each between the mountains, fissure, reefs, and civ bonus.

 

[Tesuji]

Indeed some tough choices. The campus on the jungle tile next to the fissure is a no-brainer. The current location would be good for Halicarnassus, but then the harbor has to go to the other side. The grass to the south would work too for Halicarnassus. But it loses the Fish tiles to the West and the Sugar to the North. And where does your Holy Site go? I'm kind of thinking NE of the sugar between the mountains is going to be the spot for Holy Site.

As so often, I probably end up settling in place. The grass to the south will be a good Kampung location, getting +2 food from fishing boats. Having 2 food, 2 prod jungle tiles nearby is also always welcome.

We'll see once I move the Warrior south.
