    Adding to your point about trading with the AI, this is more important and effective the higher the difficulty is. AI tends to be poor in Prince/King, so they won't have much money to give you. At Immortal/Deity, AI has a huge money boost, so there's more for you to take to help you catch up.

      they’ll also just give you diplo favor in the early game if you ask for it. up to 20 per trade along with open borders or a resource or whatever else you’re trading. i hoard so much and then sell it back to them when they value it more. sometimes you’ll have one ai that starts valuing it earlier than the others and you can just get one player to give you 20 for nothing, and then immediately sell them to another player for 4 or 5 gold each. scamming the ai is the backbone of my economy in the early game.

      There's not really a standard.
      * Heroes & Legends: only if you find the game too hard
      * Secret Societies: usually, but they are overpowered for some S-tier civs
      * Barbarian Clans: usually because it adds some fun options and isn't too overpowered
      * Monopolies and Corporations: usually because it adds some fun options and isn't too overpowered
      * Tech & Civic Shuffle: only if you find the game too easy

    Very helpful and thoughtful tips!!
    Brad - please give me advice! I always get attacked by multiple other citi-states declaring wars on me, sooner or later. I have to either (1) drop what I'm trying to accomplish (for example, science victory) and frantically build military units to fight back, or (2) spend a lot of resources building military in the early games, which otherwise could have been spent on building non-military things, to prepare for any wars declared on me that could destroy my accomplishment. What is the optimal strategy for military buildup in case of wars being declared on me? Thanks!

    • @mkmasterthreesixfive
      @mkmasterthreesixfive 2 роки тому

      Always have 2-3 archers, and your first culture tree unlock needs to be craftsman. This allows you to go into military tradition for flanking bonuses if you have an aggressive civ near you like Rome. If not, you aren't off the pathway for a Government.
      If a neighbor is nearby, try to take them out by turn 50 (standard). You need to spend the majority of your early game making yourself a threat to the world, then move on to infrastructure, then begin your snowball.
      For Culture, you'll need Theater Square, Holy Sites, and Entertainment Complexes, so you have a while of making Granaries and Settlers in the meantime. IF you're playing a civ like Aztecs you should go for Encampment, Commercial Hub, then your choice of Campus or Entertainment Complex. Other Early war civs should follow. Mid game civs like Ottomans
      or Poland can reverse that, though Poland might want Holy Sites. Know what your civ wants to use their limited districts for. Their unique military unit's time period must be payed attention to.
      The AI build up military and their base win condition and don't really bother with infrastructure until there's nothing else to really do for them. To help with a war on a neighbor, maybe ask the guy on the opposite end to join your war, and wait a few turns for the enemy military to focus on your friend.
      You can also use Diplomacy to figure out who is going to want a piece of you. Gilgamesh will always be your friend no matter what, but Rome or Sparta are telling. When you have +20 friendship with them, and they still refuse to declare friendship with you, they think you're worthless and will take you out. Watch out for traders from such civs.

  • @njmfff
    @njmfff 2 роки тому

    I suggest not to go for wonders if you are new player, because you kinda want to learn how to make good infrastructure first. Then next learning curve sill be how to utilize adjacency for districts. While you learn those, you will also get good sense of what wonders you can get and what not regardless of game. There are some wonders which AI will usually never built, and those are typically wonders that require bit more complicated setup (like have Industrial zone next to river, etc). For example, you will not get Machu Picchu in 99.99% of time on higher difficulty because requirement is "have mountain" which will AI have access to 99.99% of time, while Potala Palace is usually easy to get as it requires being built on hill adjacent to mountain. There are also some wonders that AI will always go for, such as Great Bath, Machu Picchu, Alhambra, Jebel Barkal, etc.

    The short version from potato: just spend less times building stuff you dont need. Deity is easy if you just do that. Also get used to being behind in science. Even in a science victory. You should only be passing the AI in science by turn 100. Just setup and by turn 180 get 1k science per turn.

    Beating deity difficulty isnt really hard, it just heavily limits you on what you can and can't do. Really it just removes options from the game and forces you into certain playstyles, which i find rather dull and boring. Civ 6 has such a great variety of options to approach the game, i dont really see why you would purposely limit that by playing on deity more than once.
