Civilization VI - Game of the Month 39​

Welcome to the 39th 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.

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.

Please note: If you wish to make a video of your game, please do not post any links to it until after the game submission date has passed. This is because of the potential spoilers that are created by posting before the end date. Thank you for your cooperation.

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. During the time the game is active, please do not post any information concerning the game outside of the spoiler threads including screen shots, videos, or recorded/live-cast Let's Plays on other websites.

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 game will not be closed as such, but after one month, the results will be compiled, and will not necessarily be updated with reports coming in after the finish date.

Was hoping fo a deity game... ;-/ ... but will give it a shot as I haven´t played 6otM38 neither any civ after the patch, so there are a few "new" things to try out.
Will try - as always when possible - a peaceful approach, with maybe some mid-game warfare due to Mapuche´s uniques and the new joint war stuff.
Warrior will explore west, probably north west, the Capital will probably go two hexes SW.
Don´t know whether to go religious...

Looks like very nice territory to expand into. Will finish the Korea game started after the patch dropped and will definitely give this a try. The Mapuche's unique improvement seems well suited for a culture game.

As always, thank you for the game @leif erikson ! Since discovering the 6oTM series I haven't played anything else really.

Lot of options for where to settle. Part of me wants to settle the rice. The lux would help, but I'm hesitant to move away from the production to the north.

 

[comatosedragon]

I guess I'll give it a go .... I have never played this civ before, as most of their abilities seem combat based, and I generally only fight defensive wars, but I do like culture games. My personal goal will be a sub turn 300 victory, which I have yet to achieve in civ 6.

I'm guessing I'll settle in place, I don't see any tiles nearby that will give early production, which makes me . I guess if that plains hill tile between the two mountains has fresh water, I'll settle there. (just press 4 for the settler lens and see if it is green to avoid moving if not necessary)

 

[lordofcivs]

Will try to play this one more cautiously as my previous attempts of GoTM have not been really great. Will check with the warrior first and then decide if should settle on SS or WS.
