Saxy did mention that there was still a lot more to cover with combat yet. As such, perhaps this would have been titled Combat (Basics to Intermediate).
You forgot the "intel on opponent's movement" attacking modifier. It gives +3 combat strength per diplomatic visibility i believe Edit: per diplomatic visibility difference
For each level of diplomatic visibility you have over your opponent, that your opponent does not have over you. So if you both have level 1 diplomatic visibility on each other, there is no modifier effect, and if you have level two on your opponent and they have level one on you, you get that bonus once, not twice.
Yeah this is so often overlooked. I am really analytical about these kind of things in games but had no idea this existed before I learned about Mongolia for the first time. And everyone says Catherine de Medici's skill is trash and it only provides more spam, but they don't realize it provides a combat bonus (albeit a smallish one) across the board. For all units.
When I first played Civ 6, I figured it worked like most other damage formulas where it would divide your strength by your opponent's, so I thought late game Great Generals and corps and armies were useless. The difference in strength part of that equation is probably the most important part.
14:00 - There is some misinformation there: if you have different promotions in each unit, they will actually get combined. So if you have an archer with Garrison and another with Volley, you will get an archer corps with Garrison *and* Volley. This is useful for early defensive Ranged units with Garrison + Volley + Arrow Storm with a +22 bonus for defending from within your city borders, for example. I generally try to get at least 1st level promotion (since they come quite quick) and then combine the units.
Thank you for explaining Corps. I encountered them in-game and I didn't know why it would be beneficial to make them other than the promotion benefit. But I also realized it's more compact.
Saxy is a man of the people. Who else is out here providing timestamps in their video for us to skip around. Most channels just want you to watch as much of the video as possible for retention rate. Not Saxy. Man of the people.

Actually, at right around 16:00 you say that resource cost per turn for corps and armies 2 or 3 per turn but actually it is only 1 a turn. This is another reason corps and armies are so beneficial, especially now in GS. For example, 3 separate mechanized infantry use 1 oil per turn each for a total of 3 per turn but if you combine them into an army, that army only uses 1 per turn. It’s a good thing to do to conserve resources.
Unbelievably helpful - thanks for all the effort buddy. Terrifically done. Question: i’m quite confused about the city projects, how they exactly work; for example, the Commercial Hub project or Industrial project. It just seems quite vague: for instance, how much money per turn does it provide, and what exactly is this predicated on? I’m sure there’s an answer somewhere. Perhaps this would make an interesting future video topic? 😌 thanks again.
Ghost Dragon thank you - seems strangely sketchy, for civ. Sort of a throwaway option without much thought. if we knew what we were getting - or that we were getting anything at all - we might be more inclined to use it. i mean, they went to the trouble of making it 🤣
A super nice strategy for corps while playing basilius II : Rush tagmas while having entertainment districts 1 turn away from being built in every city that you have. When you unlock them, build all the ippodromes in 1 turn. Militar score will jump to the moon. Make them kill some units and give them 2 promotions in different trees while rushing nazionalism. Once you unlock nazionalism, merge them together and you will have veteran tagma corps (you get era score) with 4 promotions. They don't need mainteinance costs, and the best part is that you built them generating amenities in you cities at a relatively minor production cost than actually building them.
Late game I use fighters for enemy units, infantry for blockades, artillery and bombers for bombarding cav units for raiding cities beyond your reach funding the science gold faith and culture loss through mass unit production, once you start invading you should be able to keep rolling on If you plunder enough coupled with conquering cities you should be able to keep up with the era score easily
Yeah, go ahead and spend thirty seconds reading the wiki and coming away still unsure. Nothing better than a visual representation of what’s happening, in my opinion, especially for a complete beginner like myself. Also someone who adds little details to the minutiae is invaluable, so thanks for the great guides.
This kind of videos help me relax and concentrate while I do some micro working on phones. I don't know why people would hate on this kind of content. Who cares if you can read the info in a Wiki?
This video (along with most of your other civ-in-depth videos) was absolutely perfect, thank you! Just the kind of information I was looking for! Straightforward and informative! Thanks! Subbed!
I do appreciate this kind of videos, some of the stuff in the game is not that intuitive or not explained clearly enough. Thank you. Could you please make the video on war weariness and warmonger penalty?
Nice video! I was actually hoping to also get some details about gaining experience, since that is one of the few factors that still manages to surprise me from time to time (I had a heavy cavalry unit gaining 4 exp from attacking a city while he was trained with +75% exp.... I was like 'wait, that can't be right!'). Maybe something for the next video? Small side note on the corps and armies: when you combine 2 units they'll end up on the tile with the highest promoted unit, no matter if that was the 'active' unit or not. Try it ;)
I found you can sometimes completely avoid the amphibious attack if you enter into a city center and then attack them as it no longer counts as an amphibious attack, as Norway due to no embarking and disembarking movement penalty instead of directly attacking move onto a tile beside them and then attack
Hi Saxy, I know I am a bit late but flanking bonus only provides +2. You must have activated a Great General that gave you 50% extra flanking bonus at some points earlier that game. Great video anyway :)
What I learned from this video, and I think it’s by accident, is that corps and armies are valuable as units in that they keep more hp when they attack, makes me think they’re for defensive wars
I always figured, if you can amphibious assault it then your ships can shoot it anyway. Basically it's best use is to capture a city your ships have shot, however can be useful Vs lower tech armies, also you can't melee attack a boat, I find myself using on barbarians as they won't heal so the bad exchange doesn't matter so much.
The formation of Corps and Armies forms on the first unit selected. I've been playing a lot recently, and that's what it's been doing. And you didn't really talk about tactics with promotions. A range unit with the Garrison promotion sitting in a Fort, gets that +10 combat strength when attacking from the fort, as well as defending. Many other combat promotions have a strong bonus in combat as well. Also, waiting in combat to use promotions when your under 50% health, you gain +50 health taking the promotion, but I haven't been able to notice if waiting to take promotion, if experience still stacks. I think the unit no longer gains exp, if it's pending a promotion, til it uses the promotion, which opens the next level of exp.
Imagine being the mechanized infantry at the part you were demonstrating river defense, they just see a gdr changing attack positions and then just kills u
you forgot great generals and admirals who each give +5 combat strength to all units in a 2 tile radius and also give +1 movement (if you don't retire them for their dedicated bonuses)
Angry comments? Not at all! I like all of your CIV VI content because it's full of great comments, opinions and advice in addition to the actual game information (and yeah, I read the wiki stuff too).
basically if you want a defense no one can beat in the information era put a fort on a hill across from a river and fortify a rocket artillery army (gdr if you have dlc) there so they have ranged attack and all the possible combineable defense boosts
I prefer listening to you than to read any infos about this game. That said, could you do something about using Loyalty to "attack" the others. Thanks!
This video is great, but there is still one aspect of combat in the game I do not get well yet : air combat. Can fighters actually intercept enemy air strikes? If yes, how so? Do I have to deploy them first? If they are deployed, do they only protect one specific tile? I have so many questions about that aspect of the game left. I know it doesn't come up often, especially in solo play (the AI does not use aviation much, or just badly), but I really wonder what it implies for multiplayer. In short : how do I protect myself from those nasty bombers and nukes?
fighter jets can intercept an aircraft whoose attack path cross their position, you can puth them between enemy airfiels and your cities/units or simply over them. they not instakill a bomber so their first attack is usually a success. To prevent nuke bombers you can preventively attack their airfields with fighter jets (with bombers or ground/sea units doesn't work). Doing so will attack the planes stationed inside and hopefully destroy the bomber. this will not save you from nukes launched from silos
@@gabry96colo Thanks for the info. But considering what you say, shouldn't two fighters do the trick and shoot down the bomber 100% of the time? (as both would attack it) This might not be a viable strategy in terms of resources to spend, but I am interested in understanding the rules as best as possible. If you don't know that's ok. What you said is already very informative. :)
@@AnAngelineer probably, but dispatchin 2 jets may be a waste in a large scale attack, depends on how big is your airfield, i if you have 6 slots or more no problem but if less ( maybe in a conquered city) space become precious for your bombers. i use at least 3 bombardment units and a heli for capture, averaging 2 turns to take a city
I'm pretty sure that corps and armies don't use more than 1 resource per turn, not 2 or 3. It doesn't' update in the resource tooltip until next turn but otherwise I would've noticed since I like my modern armor tanks and I always maximize my coal and oil for power and troops.
Saxy Gamer! My boyfriend and I are very addicted to civ 6, and have greatly enjoyed watching your videos! They are extremely helpful and useful. Thank you! The complexities of the game are very daunting at times. I do have a question that I can't find the answer to online, regarding garrisoned military units. We both have the policy card "retainers" for the +1 amenities for cities with a garrisoned unit. My question is this, does this card stack amenities, if I have more than one unit garrisoned? (I.e. in the encampment or fort) Any help would be super appreciated! Thanks
3 aircraft carriers loaded with jet bombers and one death robot will destroy any civilization. You need the death robot because the jets will never take the city completely out
As one of the people who didn't go through volumes of FaQs, wikis and Civ Fanatics, a huge THANKS! Are this the same rules for religious combat? From some things I have seen, it appears so. From a technical standpoint, I could see the having a single combat system to prevent more coding which gets the game to market quicker.
what is the effect of a highly promoted unit that was created in a city without an encampment, when joined to a corps with a fresh unit created in a city with a military academy?
I know I'm late to the party with these but I just recently got more into the game....but can you please do an in-depth video covering spiea and how to better utilize them. I feel like I'm not using them to their full potential. TIA!!
I really like the thing that gives you 10 combat strength when fighting in foreign lands with your religion. I tend to defend my lands with apostles with +20 so neighboring cities quickly convert than I expand to there and their neighbors tend to adopt my religion within a few turns than I take those lands over to gain a base to heal at so... this makes religion very powerful for a domination game. also the +5 theocraticle combat bonus card is great when fighting in foreign lands. I've played a grand total of one game in Gathering Storm so far :P but I can tell you the combat bonus Monte gets from unique luxuries carries over to theocaraticle combat.
Great video, thank you. Could you please talk about air combat? I can't quite wrap my head around interception and patroling and all that kind of stuff.
All right this is the one question I've been having I was just a peaceful Nation minding my own business then 2 civilizations declare war on me but when I defend myself and take cities I'm seen as a warmonger I don't understand why I'm seen as a warmonger for defending myself and taking territory so they can't attack me again
Do you like the combat calc variations? I feel they are too confusing and not transparent enough for a strategy game. If you can't see and predict the outcome your guessing instead of planning. I feel this makes combat less enjoyable then it should.
How does the formula work for damage to City Walls? They can have up to 400 Health (making that huge damage number meaningful), but what is their combat strength?
just gettin this game on Switch, trying to figure out how to make different escort formations in the early game. like which different units can be placed together & with great generals

You forgot pantheons- Defender of the Faith, God of the Forge, etc.
Hi there, only this comment alone helps to get a little better understanding of the manifold options combat has to offer. Thank you.
Always bombard, then attack when the city defenses is at -1. Then you can ignore any attack penalties
You forgot the "intel on opponent's movement" attacking modifier. It gives +3 combat strength per diplomatic visibility i believe

Oh now I get it, was wondering if it's from my jet nearby or something 😃
Very pleased to see a return to the “in-depth” guides. Always a treat to have more SaxyGamer advice.
When I first played Civ 6, I figured it worked like most other damage formulas where it would divide your strength by your opponent's, so I thought late game Great Generals and corps and armies were useless. The difference in strength part of that equation is probably the most important part.
True, the difference between a 5 combat strength unit vs a 10 CS unit looks a lot bigger than the difference between a 100 CS unit vs a 110 CS unit.

A super nice strategy for corps while playing basilius II :
Rush tagmas while having entertainment districts 1 turn away from being built in every city that you have. When you unlock them, build all the ippodromes in 1 turn.

They don't need mainteinance costs, and the best part is that you built them generating amenities in you cities at a relatively minor production cost than actually building them.
You also get era score when killing a corp or army with a single unit
Late game I use fighters for enemy units, infantry for blockades, artillery and bombers for bombarding cav units for raiding cities beyond your reach funding the science gold faith and culture loss through mass unit production, once you start invading you should be able to keep rolling on If you plunder enough coupled with conquering cities you should be able to keep up with the era score easily

what is the effect of a highly promoted unit that was created in a city without an encampment, when joined to a corps with a fresh unit created in a city with a military academy?
You should do an in-depth review of governors.
thank you for a fantastic video
Corps/Armies are only really useful in bottleneck situations, e.g. defending or attacking a passageway that is 1 or 2 tiles wide
You can read all of that in the Wiki in 30 seconds
I know I'm late to the party with these but I just recently got more into the game....but can you please do an in-depth video covering spiea and how to better utilize them. I feel like I'm not using them to their full potential. TIA!!
I really like the thing that gives you 10 combat strength when fighting in foreign lands with your religion. I tend to defend my lands with apostles with +20 so neighboring cities quickly convert than I expand to there and their neighbors tend to adopt my religion within a few turns than I take those lands over to gain a base to heal at so... this makes religion very powerful for a domination game. also the +5 theocraticle combat bonus card is great when fighting in foreign lands. I've played a grand total of one game in Gathering Storm so far :P but I can tell you the combat bonus Monte gets from unique luxuries carries over to theocaraticle combat.
Thx for info.
How I can go on the wiki and look for myself and it will only take me - dammit, it's been six months !
I don't understand the flanking bonus. Who gets the bonus if the attacking unit doesn't get it?
Great video, thank you. Could you please talk about air combat? I can't quite wrap my head around interception and patroling and all that kind of stuff.
If I have two melee units, one with Battlecry the other has Tortoise, will the resulting corp gain both promotions?
L0rem Ipsum yes it will
Thank you for this!
Its worth noting you lose some combat stregth if you dont have enough resources for the unit such as oil.
I was unable to find the damage chart that you displayed to us around 20:26, do you happen to have a link to the source?
All right this is the one question I've been having I was just a peaceful Nation minding my own business then 2 civilizations declare war on me but when I defend myself and take cities I'm seen as a warmonger I don't understand why I'm seen as a warmonger for defending myself and taking territory so they can't attack me again
Bomb the shit out of them but pull back before taking the city let it re heal a bit,rinse and repeat till your unt is buff
bro same, the kongo declare war on me so i take africa and the middlle east and now peoplle hate me?
Great work.
Holy fuck. THATS WHAT YOUR CITIES ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE HALFWAY THROUGH A GAME? FUCK!!
Do you like the combat calc variations? I feel they are too confusing and not transparent enough for a strategy game. If you can't see and predict the outcome your guessing instead of planning. I feel this makes combat less enjoyable then it should.
Are corps/armies really that important? I've never beaten Deity with domination victory, maybe this is what I'm missing?
There's a Wiki? Meh, whatever. Reading takes full attention. Enjoying the vids, teaching me a lot of Civ 6 which is quite a bit different.
keep it up saxy!
Thanks!
Very nice, but class modifiers is missing :(
I noticed healing a corp is much more difficult than a single unit also could you please include the medic if you do a update about this subject?
would love to get more info on cityu combat strength!
This missed describing sieging. I played quite a few games before I understood the concept of sieging.
How does the formula work for damage to City Walls? They can have up to 400 Health (making that huge damage number meaningful), but what is their combat strength?
How do you set up one click combat? As opposed to clicking on your unit, selecting movement or ranged combat, and then clicking on the target.
Why does it seem like enemy players are able to suprise-attack me/initiate combat seemingly out of nowhere?
just gettin this game on Switch, trying to figure out how to make different escort formations in the early game. like which different units can be placed together & with great generals
Good vid, subbed!
