Glad you're teaching people.
This would be perfectly timed with a tutorial series to teach more. Oh... How quaint !
i just picked up this game after wanting to play it for ages, and something I found is that you can, under a very specific condition get amenities from duplicate luxury items from the assembly when it's offered as a vote option, obviously you need the points to make as many votes as you can to guarantee the vote goes in your favour but it's possible to have that passive.
You don't want to always sell amenities. Holding onto amenities can be a strategic move, especially if you're expansionist - for example, selling amenities to a neighbor until they expand their borders near you and then stop selling them so thwy have trouble holding onto them.
well this is very niche but worth considering in those few situations.
@@SmallPotato2313 if you're not worried about gold-per-turn, withholding amenities is core strategy. Every amenity you give to another player makes them more able to sustain a war or an increased number of cities.
@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg well yes but...GOLD
I agree although never even considered it as a strategy. If i did this then it was laziness when i wasnt using quick deals mod yet
In a lot of cases, it's a choice of "will this advantage for me outweigh the advantage it gives someone else"? In most cases, as the human player, the answer should be yes!
If they expand to you, they will probably reach same biom where ur amenities spawned.. So they will have their own
“You can settle a new continent or trade.” Or, you can take 😏
It's all the same to the english! XD
Or you can steal all the ai's gold :,)
There is a World congress option where all copies are providing amenities for a player
Holy cow! I've been so wasteful to hold onto my duplicate luxuries, thank you for this short!
More shorts like this is a great plan. Huzzah
Huzzah! Ridic is a talent, would love to work with them again!
Dude, I didn't know this and would always pawn off all my luxury resources... Thanks for the tip
Happy to help!
Great video, would be cool to see more collabs with you and Ridic!
It was a pleasure, hope to do more as well!!
If I have 8 cities, do I need two copies of a resource to supply all my cities with the luxury resource? Since each resource only extends to 4 cities
Nope. Any luxuries beyond the first do not give you anything, unless you trade it. Each luxury, +1 amenity to up to four cities. That is the limit.
EDIT: To be ultra-super-duper clear: If you have more than four cities, there is nothing you can do to get a luxury type to apply to that fifth city. You need an additional type of amenity, either from another luxury type, or a building/wonder, or a GP, religious tenet, etc.
Andrew has it right!
@@andrewklang809can you choose which city get amenities for specific luxury
Super needed and PERFECT explanation and visual help, this was the last concept of this game that I jus couldn't figure out myself.
I almost have 1000 hours in Civ 6 and I first now understand amenities.
Huzzah!
They would sell you 1 copy of their items if you have taken over 90% of their civ nd about to completely finish them
Omg, thank you so much
Settling one i did not know
Just went on a 4 city conquest against Gaul for declaring a surprise war on me. 🎉🎉
Nah, i always play with monopolies, so i need THEM ALL! I WILL NOT SELL
So fun fact, you can still sell luxuries - monopolies are counted on the luxuries you improve, not trade!
Does it just automatically give 4 cities an amenities after improving or do you need to do something else? Like do they need roads connections or trade route? And if you have more than 4 cities can you control which 4 get the amenity? And if you have 2 of the same amenities I'm assuming that means you can use it on up to 8 cities?
I don’t fully understand why polders give food I haven’t heard that tulips are edible but still polders are cool so fair enough
Polders are used mainly for agricultural purposes. One look at a sattelite image of Flevoland, the Dutch province that is just two huge Polders, shows that very nicely. Polders produce highly fertile land and as such can also be used to produce all sorts of flowers, but that's far from their primary use case. It makes a lot of sense for civ to portray tulip fields though as it's a game of caricatures, and we are known for our tulips!
Oh and (un)fun fact. During the German occupation of the Netherlands the population suffered food shortage and took to eating flowerbulbs, including those of tulips! They're edible, but reportedly not very appetising...
@@tijsluchies2588 makes sense but the reason I thought polders just grow tulips was because of the tulip mania so I thought if they grew so much tulips that the price plummeted it probably was because that was the only thing polders grew guess I was mistaken
Give an Extra copy to the Aztecs ... on a different island
Its not true that having multiple of the same luxury isnt helpful. 1 luxury always gives 4 cities of you ameneties, as you said. But if you have 8 cities for example you would need 2 of the same luxury for every City of yours to get the Bonus.
As far as I remember the ameneties get distrubuted based on wich City needs it the most and also how far they are away. But I could be wrong about the last Part.
Edit: Ok I did my research and it appears to be not true anymore and I am seemingly wrong here. But It used to be like that as far as I know.
Haha - glad you corrected itself! Amenities are complex
If a luxury provides for 4 cities, why does the duplicate not provide for cities 5-8?
Because alas only the first counts - hence why trade is so important!
And how does it get distribute to 4 cities,is it for the closest cities near the luxury or random???
The game fills in the unhappiest first and works up, to try and make all your cities the same happiness
Ryan you were amazing to work with! We should do this again sometime!
The pleasure was seriously all mine, thanks so much!!
How do I save this I wished I had this explained years ago thank you
welcome!
I love this style of video for you Ursa. It sounds like an offical civ how to video. Someone get sid meier on the phone!
Hehe - it was my pleasure working with Ridic!
So if I have 8 cities and am mining 2 diamond spaces would all 8 cities get 1 amenities or only 4 of the cities?
Only four - only the first copy of each luxury is used. That's why trading is so important!
Is there only strategic value in selling your spare luxuries? Or, would it also not sometimes be more beneficial to deprive the other players, and therefore denying them the benefits of having more luxuries? I hope that makes sense.
It does! I like to think that as a player, a benefit to you AND the ai is better than no benefit to anyone. You're cleverer and more focused - the faster you go, the more you'll do to overtake!
So wait a second copy of luxury resources doesn't give amenities to cities 5-8
Correct. Unless you have a special effect like the World Congress resolution that certain player’s extra luxuries also give amenities, any copies of a luxury beyond the first are useless to you. Trade them ehenever you can for whatever you can get (unless in niche cases where you know that starving the trading partner of four amenities is going to make an important difference).
@@LoudWaffle thanks bud
It's great and all but sometimes I don't want the AI to have extra amenities, that would just mean that they get increased production in their cities.
True! Remember though, an advantage to both of you works in your favour as you can use it better!
Where and what happens and to amenities when you trade a luxurious resource that you don't have?
If you trade in a resource you don't have, up to 4 of your cities will get +1 amenity, just as if you had improved it yourself. It's why it pays to trade!
If you have 2 of the same amenities, does that mean it goes to 8 cities. Or just 4?
Just 4 - only the first copy of each luxury is used!
The editing on this is awesome
Is there always only 4 luxury types, even when the map is large or small?
I believe so. The only exceptions to this are custom-made maps or the official TSL maps, such as TSL Europe, Asia, or the Meditteranean as those are huge maps that're dominated by mostly one continent.
No, there will be four luxuries per continent, and larger map sizes give you more continents so more luxuries in total. How many resources will be in the sea is also limited by map size, being at most 2 in duel or tiny size, 3 in small and standard, and 4 in large and huge.
@@LoudWaffle Just confirmed that the TSL maps do not follow this rule. In TSL Europe, there's citrus and wine in Iberia, there's truffles in Ireland, there's tobacco in Greece, and there's foxes in Scandinavia despite all of it being considered Europe.
@@GoldfishEmpire Yeah, the TSL and other custom maps do not, because every resource and bonus feature and tile was manually placed; no auto generation happens on those.
An additional info: water luxuries dont count. So you can have 4 of your continent +1 or 2 from sea luxuries
If 1 Luxury Ressource online provides amenities to 4 cities. So if you have a copy of that Ressource? you can provide 8 cities with amenities? For example: I have 12 cities and 3 different types of luxury. So each luxury provides 4 cities with amenities or the same 4 cities with +3 amenities?
I believe they'll automatically spread out and you can't control it. This would be +1 to 12 equal cities. but the issue is since your cities will be at different populations, they'll have different baseline amenity needs, and they may be distributed more towards your large cities as a result
All right, thanks a lot. So I need 6 different luxurys to get +2 amenities for all 12 cities?
To clarify, only the first amenity of any type give +1 to 4 cities.
Any furtehr copy does nothing - you need to trade it away for something you don't have!
If I have 5 cities, how does the game decide which 4 get the amenity?
It's the lowest happiness cities first. It automatically tries to balance your sad cities
I've never heard the basic concept that there are four luxuries per continent and I've been playing this game for years. I also never realized that the reason an AI said they couldn't trade a luxury to me for any reason was because it was their sole copy.
Always good to know when playing Aztec!
But what about if you’re going for a cultural victory with monopolies and corporation? Doesn’t holding on the the extra copies benefit you there?
Nope! Monopolies are based on how many luxuries you improve. Trading them in and out of yoru empire makes no difference at all
The way you pronounce amenities is confusing. It sounds like youre saying “immunities”
Oh boy, wait till you hear about accents, they'll blow your mind!
civ v is better ngl
Not in terms of the happiness system.
@@ShadowReaper-pu2hx still better
