THE CITY-STATES. They've been updated~ I haven't done this one in over a year now, and the last time I did a city-state tier list it was just god awful honestly. A lot of those rankings just didn't make sense then, and don't make sense now hence the new update! Additionally, a few of the city-states just didn't exist (i.e. Wolin, etc) since it was before the final update.
As always, you can find me at the above links and livestreaming on / boesthius Mon-Thurs 12pm, and Fridays at 2pm PST!

The music at the end was made by hawk - the song is called ultd. and can be found here!

**LOUD MUSIC WARNING** ONCE AGAIN I'M SORRY ABOUT 54:45 DAMMIT I WENT THROUGH EACH OF THEM BALANCING OUT THE INSTRUMENTALS BUT APPARENTLY I MISSED AN ENTIRE TRACK I SUCK. THE LOUD MUSIC STOPS AT 57:05 OK I'M SORRY

How dare you be human
@@merorantu no i am robot boes i am ai
Its fine, sweet tunes
Smort boes do smort thing. Yes indeed.
Don’t forget Valletta allows you to purchase flood barriers with faith as well, and considering it’s a very cheap faith compared to the high cost of production for flood barriers. I’d say alone boosts them to A tier
I agree with you, but that doesn't mean much when you're usually about to win the game by the point where the sea level starts to rise.
Valetta definitely deserved to be higher. They're useful in culture games because you can get walls in your city both for defense and tourism without taking production away from building theater square buildings and running city projects, they're good in science games because it allows you to buy flood walls, which you will definitely need if you play like I do and rush industrialization and research that before you research iron working. The only drawback is that they're a militaristic city state, which is one of the least useful types of city state
@@ryanduffy6089 unless ur Tamar or mali the tourism isn't worth the faith. You could be buying up more settlers, builders or even pumping out archeologists with all that faith.
Archeologists rush is esp good. As the sooner you get them out the easier it is to theme. For example if you get them b4 the medieval era ends, there's only 3 different eras the artifacts can be from. They become RIDICULOUSLY easy to theme at that point.
Getting walls up is an afterthought at the last minute.
Valetta is S tier imo, assuming you have faith income
@@nanogalactic6016 s tier implies that it has no or very little opportunity cost. In most games, if you have good faith income, you'd rather use that faith for monumentslity than walls and infrastructure...
Rapa Nui was the first city state I ever suz’d that gave me a tile improvement and therefore it is S tier in my heart.
This is the real rank logic
The sense of satisfaction you get from surrounding a volcano with Moais is enough to make them S tier.
Bonus points if you have the Fire Goddess Pantheon and it's a Natural Wonder
Rapa Nui was the first city state I ever fought and conquered
🗿🗿🗿🗿
So excited for my favourite City State to be ranked as S-tier. God, I love me some Preslav 🥺
LMAO
From 54:45 to 57:03 there’s a instrumental soundtrack that got so loud we can barely hear you ): but just for a few minutes so it’s all good. Great vid!!! We love your content
GODDAMMIT AGAIN?~! Thank you for telling me, I added a warning in a pinned comment
Thank God someone said something, I was sooooooo thinking I'd just lost my marbles/ someone had somehow also connected to my bluetooth speaker.
I know NAZCA sort of sucks but it's so satisfying to put all those desert lines next to each other like crop circles for aliens.
Tier list videos with random loud music are becoming a tradition and I love it
LMAO i'm gonna sneak it in randomly from now on
@@boesthius new to the channel, why is there random loud music?
Let's hope Kumasi makes it above C-tier this time
Ohhhhh baby
@@boesthius I feel like Chinguetti still the better "free stuff" trade orientated city state than Kumasi. Culture is better, but It'll still cost you a trader to a city state, which isn't always the best when trading with civs can be so much better.
@@betheguy8888 that's def fair! I think incorporating Wisselbanken with Kumasi is super good because it works with city states now, which is what I run a lot. Mid-late game running Democracy + Wisselbanken + Kumasi and trading from my cap makes a ton of yields.
I can see your arguments with Chinguetti as well!!
Man I just watched your old city state tier list not long ago and I was wondering when you’d make an updated list. Dope
Haha the old one is so outdated it's honestly silly
Hey boesthius, about your Mexico City rating: I dont say that it is wrong, but i would like to give another aspect to it. by increasing the tiles by 3, the total amounds of effected tiles goes from 126 to 270. Thats an increase of more than 100% (114%) instead of the 50% which comes in mind first (6 tiles to 9 tiles distance). it clearly depends on the city setup. Even with the new ameneties system, an increase at that rate is good. so for large realms i would recoment it.
I agree. I mean, maybe it's still D or C tier, but F tier seemed really harsh. I wouldn't fight for it, but often times having it when no one else is going for it changes the value of industrial zones and amenity districts. Any bonus that changes the priority of districts I think deserves to be higher than F.
@@josephdouglas5242 yeah, completely agree with what you wrote!
While I'm normally a fan of being a numbers nerd, this situation is a bit more funky because of the goal of power. Power doesn't need to reach tiles in a city, only the city itself, so the area doesn't particularly matter.
Think of it like building a highway from one town to another:
If you need have a road that reaches 6km towards the next town, but it's 9km away, how much road more road do you need? 3km, or 50% more road.
So while it can reach a city in 114% more tiles, the city can only be 50% further away.
I could have this idea mapped out all wrong in my head, and I'm open to correction. Didn't mean to rain on your parade or anything, I just like this kinda topic.
@@VoidicHerald that's true but u can easily fit double the amount of cities in the 114% bigger area. I looked at some of my older games with large empires. And the center ones would reach around double the amount of cities.
@@kleozyn4179 No you're probably right, it's likely a personal bias since I hate packing cities so close together
You forgot the all important meme play when ranking Mexico City: stack Tesla + mausoleum with it to get 15 range on your super high adjacency IZ and only build 1 for your entire empire
OR, you could do the reversed meme.
Where you do the same, get as many IZs in a 15 tile range of tour capital and use Magnus to get the production bonus from every singles one of them
Boes I love your hair. Usually I avoid comments on a creators appearance, but you look fresh my guy
I use Yerevan in culture and scientific games. Use the apostle “Heathan Conversion” to protect my empire. I usually get five to ten military units per apostle. Once you have this city-state, you will never have to build a military unit until you build bombers. It is excellent in Culture games because you can get units well above your science level.
You could also park apostles in neighbourhood districts if they ever get sabotaged by spies.
Shout-out to Kandy for being the key to my fastest and most fun deity victory ever. Hearing that ding when you move into the fog of war will never get old.
Armagh is pronounced "Ar-MAH". (The rest of this comment is fluff if you're interested!) It is an Irish city, located in Northern Ireland, historically considered the religious capital of Ireland. Religiously Ireland can be said to be known for it's monasticism, the trope of "Monks" of European tradition very much stems from Dark Age era Irish monasticism. At the time as the rest of Europe was in a dark age in terms of education and technological progress, Ireland was in its golden age and produced many great works, like the Book of Kells. Armagh is pretty much the only reference to Ireland in Civ 6 sadly! (Other than Gian'ts Causeway as Powermauler rightly points out in the replies!) Hoping for an Irish civ some day - if Scotland deserves one, so does Ireland!
Not the only reference to Ireland, there is also Giant's Causeway :)
City is a very generous description for Armagh, though it technically is one. A bit smaller than some of the other City States in here! If Ireland was a Civ I reckon we get:
Special Building - Irish Bar. Can only be built in other civs cities. Raises their amenities by +2, lowers productivity and science by +1.
Builders can build Pot Still - must be next to rice, wheat, citrus, maize, grapes, potato (new resource). Raises amenities by +1, +2 gold, +1 culture. Creates a one off trade item - Irish Whiskey. Only one per city.
Kumasi is even more insane than you think, the +2 culture and +1 gold per specialty district is for the player's origin city, build a super tall city and add Bi Seng and Ada Lovelace, you can get up to 14 or 16 culture per trade route in that city, absolutely insane for civs like Portugal(absurd 30+ culture) or England, really any naval civ with Owls
Loving the lists so far! For Buenos Aires, I don't think extra resources of a type provide an amenity. You talked about all the cattle in your Australia empire providing amenities, but only the first one gives you an amenity like a luxury.
You are correct, it was just a bad example off of the top of my head. But yes you are correct!!
Just found your channel. I'm a long time fan of Civ. I'm loving your content because you seem to encapsulate what I love most about the game. Its relaxing, entertaining, and strategic, much like your videos. Keep at it!
@boesthius Yerevan is actually really good for domination, cuz you can get the one that makes apostles heal nearby units. Really really good
35:20 Kumasi's bonus is based on the origin city - so you can get around 6 to 10 culture (depending on your growth) to City states, which is exactly how I like to play my Science based games. This is particularly interesting since you don't need to worry about trade routes to other cities for bonus tourism in science games and you can almost completely focus on city states.
Yeah I had said that incorrectly, it is based off of the origin city it just came out wrong haha
@@boesthius No worries man. Loving your Tier list videos. Keep it up! :D
I honestly think nan madol is even better than you said. Each city settled on coast or lake gets a free monument and another when you build the harbor. Even playing a non coastal civ on a non coastal map I will usually be earning at least 50 culture per turn from them
But.....if you're not playing a costal civ then you aren't playing a coastal map in the first place. And that drastically lowers how useful it is to begin with...
@@luisgutierrez8047 Even so I will naturally end up with a few coastal or lake cities
I'm a bird brain that didn't understand how Nazca lines worked for awhile but one time I was France and had a big desert city with Petra. I was running around spamming chateauxs where ever I could. Decided to fill in a space between two of them on one of my Petra tiles with a Nazca line and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen
Thanks for the video
trading dome can be okay if spam them in one city, and put all your trade routes on it, is improvement that gives you 2 + 1X trades routes in the city gold, + some extra from bonus reources
Ayutthaya is extra nice because it help borders expand in your new cities as well.
I think modifiers are additive and are thus able to neutralize negative modifiers. For example, if you can achieve Geneva suzerainity + Kilwa with 2 Scientific suzerains + Ecstatic in all your cities as Babylon, you effectively nullify Babylon's Science penalty (15% + 15% + 20%) - 50% = no modifier.
Other example: Australia's/Scotland's production bonus just adds +100% to modifiers already in play. Sometimes it's more than double (f.e. in a city with low loyalty and happiness) sometimes it's less than double
Thank you! I wasn't sure on the math 100% because I know sometimes that they're multiplicative in some instances but additive in others so I'll need to make sure in the future.
I'm not 100% but that's what seemed to be my observation, at least for passive Modifiers. I have f.e. no idea if Magnus' chopping bonusses are additive or multiplicative, but I do believe Pingala's promotion follows the same rule
That hard G on Armagh is so triggering 😬
But great video regardless 🤘🏻
neat bonus for Valetta is the ability to get incredibly cheap Flood Barriers, especially in your fringe cities
ngazargamu actually also give the discount to purchases with faith. Its jsut not stated in its descritpion, making it one of the best citystates with grandmasters chapel and and a religious civ
I literally always forget about this so thank you!
@@boesthius also engineers are affected by narzanzamazu. They actually become worth it. By midgame to build dams and some aquaducts. And late game as a source of cheap chops when worker costs have BALLONED
@@boesthius Ngagragrzamazu S-- tier, and pronounced I believe N-Gah-zahr-gah-mu
How easy it is to become Suzerain is a factor here. The AI loves some of these and pumps 8 envoys into them before the Medieval era.
Yeah I agree. There seems to be consistently a weird amount of competition for some city states while others go completely ignored. It's like how the Great Bath is potentially a great wonder, but you can forget ever building it in most games because of the competition for it.
Auckland is always ignored by the ai, so you can usually get it for 3 envoys. Even if I have just 1 coastal city, that's still good value.
It’s all about the situation…if you’re playing a naval game then Auckland just kills it.
Yeah. I still agree with the A tier ranking though. There's a UA-camr who used to make Civ content named FIlthy Robot, and his A tier definition was "Consistently really good or situationally game breaking". Auckland is certainly situationally game breaking.
Damn, you make civ6 look fun! Hate it honestly otherwise, so big thanks!
The only thing I hate about city states is that the AI use them to passive aggressive attack you without going to war with you.
The one giving 1 amenities for each imp bonus resources is king on deity too yoo
I think you have to consider the fact that Vatican City causes your opponent's music value on their settings to spike to 200%. That puts it at least in A tier for utility, S tier against Russia and Scotland since they have the worst tracks, but also D tier against Georgia since they have the best tracks.
Wdym Scotland has bad music?! Those bagpipes are the most glorious things since haggis!
Was watching the video on my bed when the music kicked in, I lowkey got jumpscared
I completely forgot that Preslav had that bonus. Literally cringed at the screen. You’re so correct about it being an actual dogwater suz bonus. The loyalty cards are beyond worthless as well if you are experienced with the game. It’s why we hardly ever pick Victor and garrison our troops, there’s just no need lol. Thanks for the content!
Unrelated, You just have to try this strategy: Shaka+Anashi+templeZeus. I had 5 impis at tern 63, all corps at turn 75 or so. My craziest dom victory ever (deity, continents, standard size, turn 173 victory)
We need a policy card that speeds up trade routes (and makes a trading post faster), or more civs that play around with trading posts.
Trade should have a rework.
What I would love to see is a it providing a modifier of +5% for every outgoing trade route dedicated to that resource at each city (gold, food, faith, science, culture) and +1.5% for every incoming. But that you are only able to trade with city's that have the corresponding district.
So for example you set it up so city A with a holy site trades with city B with a campus City A gets a 5% boost to science and city B gets a 1.5% boost to faith. Food would be treated as default.
Specialists would then add another .5% per Specialist to incoming trade routes (the 1.5 bonus changes to a 2.5 bonus per). You would only be able to get the dispatch bonus once per district but would be able to stack as many incoming bonuses as you want.
Thank you for this. I think a victory-condition based ranking would be better for information, but that'd be insane and take way too long.
No real disagreements (Cahokia, Mexico City, & Vatican City aside), even though I rarely play beyond Emperor (hate how far behind you start but don't mind their bonuses to building or combat).
Question: What would you do to "fix" the D and F tier city states? Especially if you keep the theme. Such Samarkand's TI could add Housing +1 or maybe Tourism equal to extra gold, etc.
Honestly that's a great question, and I think for some of them like you said housing is a big thing. Trading domes just end up taking up a valuable tile improvement without providing much, so maybe housing or half a housing each would help? Preslav one should just not exist imo, I would just completely rework it because the +2 Loyalty really doesn't do anything if you know how to balance your loyalty with policy cards and golden ages. Lahore would just maybe need some small buffs with Nihangs - they CAN be strong but just little tweaks to make them more viable with the strong melee units would be nicer. The biggest issue is that they don't benefit from attacking walls, e.g. they don't work with Battering Rams, Towers or being suz'd with Akkad. If they did then you wouldn't really have to buff them that much and they'd be fine.
@@boesthius I had a thought on Preslav. Improved loyalty *pressure* from your Encampments, either to all cities or just to your cities. The idea is to support steady, hostile expansion, especially for civs that build a lot of Encampments: Macedon, Zulu, Japan, etc.
Mexico City doubles the range of your Industrial Zones and Entertainment districts. I'm not gonna say they're top tier, but they can be really useful late game for boosting amenities or reaching extra cities with your IZs.
Ayutthaya above Antananarivo seems weird. Ayutthaya basically boosts your culture by ~3% of your production (assuming roughly 1/3 of production goes to buildings - but buildings gained by other means also count), while it's hard for Antananarivo to not boost your total culture by 10% - also note that this value is applied on *total* culture, not base culture. The other boosts are additive (you can see this when you hover over each of the yield totals for your cities; two +15% modifiers will give +30% not +32% = 1.15*1.15).
Cahokia is really good, they also provide +1 amenity (capped to one per city, then 2 per city at Natural History). Base +3 gold, and it's easy to get +3 food from district adjacency... and they can be built in deserts and tundra which expands usable space pretty well. Definitely a good complement to a Petra city (except for Australia and Nubia).
I think Muscat should provide an amenity per commercial hub building to make them relevant. Wolin is a little lame because fighting barbarians gives nothing.
Important note on Papal States, Venice and Vilnius: MUSIC SOUNDS. On the other hand, MUSIC MUSIC. So I would probably conclude MUSIC as a whole.
I’m finally moving over from Civ V to VI and I’m finding your videos fantastic and entertaining. Keep up the great content!!!
Side note: you said you like pronunciation so coming from Ireland: “Armagh” is pronounce “A(r)-maa” or “Aa-maa”, the “r” is soft and the gh is quiet. Though other Irish dialects might have slight variations.
thank you thank you!!
Valletta is amazing, imo. Faith buying walls is ridiculous, because you can also buy flood barriers! I know it relies on faith production, but that aside, I just feel like it should be higher.
I probably could have bumped them up a little bit! I may have overcompensated from my S+ TIER ranking from last time hahaha
Lol, fair enough. Probably right on average. :p
I think you're severely underrating Vatican City's suz bonus of lofi beats for the rest of the game.
LMAO
I was playing a game of civ as Elizabeth the First. I'm focusing my attention on commercial hubs and harbors. This means I have a stupid amount of trade routes as well as I picked owls of Minerva. So I'm sending routes to city states and I suzed Kumasi. I was wondering why my culture was so high and then I looked at Kumasi unique suze bonus🤣🤣 actually so busted
This is an actual godsend for people like me, thank you boes
You should do a Unique unit tier list love the list though
It's on the way~
I feel Zanzibar and Cahokia should be higher than Hunza because neither require you to make trade routes and amenities affect all yields instead of just gold. Zanzibar bonus is completely free while Cahokia only requires builder charges
Mexico below Cardiff makes no sense. Mexico basically gives all the bonuses Cardiff gives AND extra production. And actually comes in earlier than Cardiff.
Supper easy to power up ur entire empire with only two industrial zones. Maya can do a lot with 6 tiles. With Mexico it's NINE. Even good enough for coastal empires.
Entertainment bonus translates to A LOT of amenities late game when you get stadiums. Good way to finish up the game by efficiently boosting your empire to extatic.
The 25% for Wolin applies to both land and naval units, right? If you defeat a Warrior you get 5 Great General Points, not 20, right?
nihang are fine. i dont know what you are doing wrong if you think they are bad. only thing i can think of is if you refuse to build a single encampment with the buildings. if thats the case, stop derping. the situation where they really shine is when you are heavy faith gen, especially early. cheap maintenance cost, dont have to spend time or gold to produce, and do not have to spend resources to upgrade as you tech up. they have a unique promotion tree too, and its pretty solid imo. movement, no penalties from being wounded, and faith per kill.
the biggest issue is that, at least for me with domination, is that they don't count as "Melee" units so they don't work with siege towers, carts, or with Akkad when attacking into cities. So if I'm going dom, I'd rather just get 3-4 swords with a cart and take cities and go from there which is way faster in the long run.
It's weird - with Mexico city, I really feel like increasing the buff from three tiles to four tiles would make a pretty huge difference. Many times I've been plotting out cities and counf that my city centre was just a little too far away to benefit from IZ or EC bonuses.
Another bonus - it should impact wonders like Jebel and the Colosseum.
What if you activated great merchants in foreign cities and they all insta-built trading posts in addition to their normal effects?
Ayutthaya (à-yút-tá-yaa) your pronunciation is almost perfect👍
i dont play much on deity but lahore is usually my fav civ if i am running a religious game. i have one shot cities with them before. but then again i dont play deity much so their is probably a discrepancy. but i do agree with a lot on this list. i think aukland moves to S tier if you are on a water map.
Gitarja + Auckland combo has been my favorite to play day one, Mali/Nubia + Nazca is also one that enjoy a lot.
And the Peter + La Venta + Woods for that lovely +7 faith.
I rank best and worst for each city state type.
My worst for each city state are Preslav, Samarkand, Vatican City, Mexico City, Vilinus, and Fez. I don't like Vilinus because it takes so long to get any decent benefit out of them.
Best on each would be: Geneva, Nazca, Auckland, Zanzibar, and Valenta. I rank Nazca and Auckland high because I tend to play large continent or continent+islands maps and there is always significant deserts and coastline for me to make use of. Nazca instantly makes those desert tiles the AI has been avoiding become large producers and Auckland can give a huge production boost to any coast city. Both are essential when trying to establish a foothold on another continent. Vallenta should also be noted to be able to faith buy flood barriers which when you are getting to the point where you need to worry about riding sea levels you want to be able to push out quickly without interfering with other projects.
Ngazargamu is NUTS for late game domination. You can buy giant death robots for 2400 gold. 1200 with the world congress resolution. Even without a Mansa Musa synergy, the free up city production to maintain your economy while you just buy rocket artillery armies on the front line
Also, Valletta lets you faith-buy sea walls. For really cheap. So also really good late game
Ngazargamu + Mansa Musa + democracy = military engineers for 15 gold
most fun 30s win condition tierlist when
normaly the percentage as addtively, only if they apply on different layers they are multiplative, like a city culture multiplayer X empire culture multiplayer (the only one i remeber is Kiwa)
As a programmer, I must say that c++ tier for Nazca made my day :-)
I love Auckland if you have a lot of coastal tiles.
Yeah exactly, it's one of those city-states where if you have a ton of coast tiles they're amazing, but if you're landlocked they're literally useless
How did Buenos Aires get bumped up because of an amenity bonus, but Cahokia fell below it despite having an arguably better amenity bonus?
honestly i disagree with the ranking for both Mexico City and Granada
the extra range from Mexico city is really bigger than you think and can sometimes help you reach a city you forgot about or couldn't settle within the needed 6 tiles
as for Granada the Earth goddess nerf doesn't really affect as harshly as you put it , sure you can't do that combo with Persia's special building and Earth goddess that well but you can still do it and you can get +1 Faith
also in Appeal based tourism games you generally would chop rainforests (unless you're playing a certain B tier civ) , avoid floodplains and boost appeal with holy sites/ECs/theater Squares not only for Alcazars but also for National parks/seaside resorts
i wouldn't say they're both S tier city states or anything but Granada deserves at least high B/A and Mexico City deserves a C/B
Hunza in A is crazy to me. Mogadishu in B as well. Honestly aside from Cahokia and Zanzibar all of the trade CS belong in the trash. I think if you're gonna put Akkad in A you might as well put Kabul and Wolin higher too. But great list, love the respect for Ayutthaya.
Yeah those are all fair - I think those are good points. I talked a bit about it on stream today and Kabul/Akkad are basically interchangeable when it comes to dom victories so they probably should have been ranked equally. There's a few that can go up or a down a bit but that just comes with preference I think!
@@boesthius Agreed, that's one of the nice things about civ, allowing for a variety of playstyles and preferences.
Mitla mixed with the builder pantheon would give you 25% growth rate
Pause, Is that music Zelda and Chill. If so my man has great taste in music 🎶
it is!
Anyone wearing glasses with a mullet knows wtf they're talking about.
LMAO it does look like I had a mullet then, it was just long hair but that's funny hahaha
I disagree with the Lahore ranking, because you can probably do a really good Valleta+Lahore Mid game to late game Georgia/Tamar religious domination game
Valletta is my favorite city state solely because I can faith buy flood barriers
I'm sure I remember Nihang units getting a nerf. Maybe its just because I've started playing deity recently but I had a game once where my Nihang were crazy good and then I think they nerfed them at some point.
I thought I was crazy because I did a meme game with Nihangs ages ago and I remember them being just totally average. But not as terrible as they are now, there must have been an adjustment I missed because I just never care to buy them anyway 🤷♂️
I agree with 99% of what you said. But in my mind, Bologna is S tier. But maybe that's because I might love great people a little bit too much? lol
It's a super super super useful city state in cultural victories, specially when paired with divine spark
As you were talking about Jerusalem, would you ever try a no Missionary+apostle religious victory? If that's too difficult you can have 2 apostles for the extra beliefs but you only spread through pressure
Would you atleast get to use inquisitors?
@@bensrandomshows1482 yeah absolutely, you need some defense lmao
that sounds painfully slow but i'll try!
@@boesthius probably khmer start and focus a lot on trade routes. It's either khmer or Mali to make use of population and trade route pressure, maybe keep it to a small map though because tbf it is more of a hyper settle challenge
Spread religion through war with basil
Haha I enjoyed the random loud music
Boestown is probably the best one. The -100 units damage make it tge best cc in humankind...

I feel like Taruga is undervalued. From mid-game onwards, it's just straight up a better Geneva, and it can only get better as the game goes on.
Nihong are really really good when you need emergency swordy guy. That's about it. Suddenly Gorgo decides she needs your 20 food, 3 production city, and you now have 8 Nihong in 1 single turn.
Okay, who are you and what did you do to Boes?
Beard be GONE
@@boesthius The TL hat came back tho

Lahore literally allowed me to win an entire domination game thanks to the unique unit
Yeah he definitely underrated Nihang. Potentially 40 CS in ancient era, even just getting two of them is crazy. Of course getting them that early on requires playing something like Khmer or Russia, but even later they are better, every time they upgrade they are the strongest unit of their time AND they upgrade automatically by building one building. And the promotions are pretty strong.
Nice video--I enjoyed it and largely agree, except in two places.
Kumasi is A to A+. For culture victory, you want to trade to other civs for +25% (or +75%) tourism.
Mogadishu is D. If you rely on international trade routes, then you'll take Reform the Coinage anyways. Also, longer unprotected trade routes only show up later, when barbs are mostly gone.
Just a heads up there is blaring music over your audio starting with the Vatican
yeah I had added a pinned comment to let others know~
The sultan of Oman lives in Zanzibar
If you know, you know
I play a religious Saladin usually and Yerevan is always my top city state.
Yeah for religion Yerevan is just like autowin it's so good
The irony is unreal
Why is there music at the end ??
I cant hear u speak
I’m sorry but my Georgia nihang crusades is one of my favorite games of civ all time
Every time our guy touches his hair, take a shot.

no idea how its correct in english, but as someone living in yerevan i have to correct that the a in yerevan is pronounced as a, not e.
thank you!
Another jumpscare at 55:00
Yeah I added a pinned comment warning ;_;
It seems that you still don't understand Kumasi, the culture is per district in your own city, not in the city-state.
Sorry, yes - I had kept saying in the city-state city but I realize that it's the origin city aka the one that is sending the trade route. I know this but sometimes I when you're recording things you think one thing and another thing comes out. But thank you for clarifying for the comments!!
Granada in C-Tier? Say it ain't so boes!
NGL, weird choice of music at ~56 mins. Editing error?
Yes, I made a pinned comment about it that even though I triple checked I still missed an audio level on a music file.
Mexico City might be useful for a weird Maya or Aztec playthrough, but.... I still don't really care.
Where’s your latest Australia game?
I believe most city states that let you build a special structure tend to be worthless. Those same spots tend to be good for districts.
If you're playing tall...ye. but wide is the meta. Perfect district placement does not matter at all. And you're better off with the bonuses these improvements provide
My experience playing CIv 6 is very much different than yours it seems.
Lahore needs some Lalove.
not following your own ++ or - rankings, overlapping and non-spacing the icons bothers me so much 😭
the content is S++ though👏
i may have grabbed an older outdated picture on accident oops
@@boesthius no, no I made the comment before you revealed the spreadsheet picture in the end. I meant it like: you say A++ but put it in the middle of A row.
anyway, love your tierlists! are you going to make one for built and natural wonders as well? or maybe tile improvements or unique units?
@@MakeyJu ohhhh ok I gotcha yes hahaa
@@MakeyJu and to answer your questions yes I am!!
I would have ranked Fez higher, especially if you can suz them early and get a religion. So much free science. If you are like me, you get one of the last religions, at which point the AI has already converted most of your cities. Build a couple of holy sites and crank out some religion units to convert your own cities and all the city states around. That is a lot of science. Definitely not D tier. And what's up with the music drowning out the end of the vid? Ooops!
Pro tip Armagh is pronounced without the G.
