Civilization VI - Game of the Month 64​

Welcome to the 64th 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, or Myself know (via Conversation (Private Message)) if you experienced a crash and how many turns you replayed. Gifting of cities is an exploit in a religious VC the AI cant see that it will lose if it accepts the cities. .

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.
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.

I think I will move 1SW to get chocolate from the very start. Mmmmm... chocolate!

Question: What would be the purpose or benefit of moving the capitol??? To gain more benefit from the "not on same continent" civic cards? Sounds kinda of an expensive gimmick.

Oh... and the save says KING but the thread says Prince... I guess we'll find out soon enough which (if any) is correct.

2 south to the plains hill seems better to me. It'll expand quite fast to the chocolate, but won't grow to the +2 holy site location. It also adds a hammer.

Difficulty is King, but Announcement says prince.
Think I'll settle on the cotton.

 

[leif erikson]

Difficulty is King, but Announcement says prince.

Corrected, Thank you.

 

[Monthar]

Since Phoenicia is better with coastal cities I think I'll settle on the cotton.

 

[Eyswein]

I believe all 3 positions above are good starting locations, though I tend to like 1SW best, but fear the floods.

 

[stefanos85]

In a regular game I would settle the Cotton without question, but since we want a fast Holy Site and that would put me 3 tiles away from the +2 Mountains I'm not so sure now.

think of it as the nile giving you its bounty

Warning to anyone in the middle of this game or getting ready to start: If your game is up to date, and you load a save from before the June 18th update, you will get some of the changes from the update but not others.

So, for example, the tech tree is still pre-patch, i.e. you can still research Stirrups without Apprenticeship and Chemistry with Replaceable Parts.

But the pantheons are post-patch, i.e. NO GODDESS OF THE HARVEST. People who started this GOTM early have a bit of an advantage
