Brand new player to the Civilisation series, decided to buy Civ6 due to my love for the board game Diplomacy.
Started on the lowest difficulty with True Start Location Earth, just to get my mind around the series. Started as Teddy Roosevelt and I'm doing well so far. My main goal is to establish hegemony over the whole of the Americas. Started off by settling from Texas up to around Maine, with 3 cities, then went inland and settled another 3 cities. At the same time, I started settling cities in South America, and I now have about 12 cities across the two continents (I think Dallas was my most recent one, which was just east of the bottom of the Andes). I've conquered Toronto and I'm very close to eradicating the Aztec Empire (already captured their main two cities and just need to clean up the last one). My land army is absolutely massive and I've already waged war with La Venta, who are on the Yucatan peninsula. After that I'll send a portion of the army down to South America to hopefully take out Bueno Aires, by which point I'll have about 15 cities across the Americas and be in complete control of the continents. Everyone apart from Gorgo hates me because I'm a warmonger, but I do intend on cooling down once I control the entirety of the Americas. Then I'll work more on the cultural and scientific aspects of the game for a while, keeping my army in reserve. I don't plan on starting any more cities as I want to just be on the Americas. I will, however, eventually cross the Atlantic and try and conquer perhaps Norway or Greece.
