This is Scotland's primary new unique ability, and it can be a game changer if you focus on keeping your population loyal and satisfied. If you take advantage of these abilities, in addition to utilizing the various new governor types, you can get a huge advantage in the mid to late game. Scotland's addition to the Civilization VI roster offers a fairly versatile civilization option that can either go the war or science route due to some unique abilities. Ready to try all those new mechanics as Robert the Bruce and see the Scots win independence and go onto global domination? Let's get started below! Furthermore, unexpected emergencies now occur in conjunction with momentous occasions - like converting a religious city or dropping a nuke - that can be capitalized on to get an advantage if you play smart. There are alsoВ three new types of ages that arrive based on how you play, each with its own ups and downs. Notably, the loyalty of cities going up or down based on your behavior and where you build results in populations rebelling or being captured without having to fire a single arrow. Some simple things I know the AI will never do but would make the game infinitely more competitive if added to their coding include: tactical unit placement (moving a unit to a forested hill across a river for better defense), actually using ranged units in cities to defend and using naval ranged units in the same city to hyper defend a besieged city, and more aggressive, but intelligent city placement.The Rise And Fall DLC includes a host of new features that appropriately lead to civilizations rising and falling in different ways that will change your tactics towards hitting a win condition. On the higher difficulties they start with three settlers, so they settle quickly and are initially quite competitive, but it wears off quickly. Or B) firaxis wrote better AI that didnt have to cheat in order to remain competitive. Then again, most of those that complained about it, just slap enter for the first 60 turns or so and end up being very confused how I have 6 cities by that point to their 2 or 3. I've been told I take too long on my turns by some when I've tried to do this in the past (I micromanage a LOT) and it's made me self conscious about playing with others. I kinda wish I either:ДЄ) knew enough humans who like playing civ and don't mind longer games in order to play a big civ multiplayer game. I'm still trying all the new civs, but when I do I'll bump myself up to deity with random civ selected to keep getting better. It has significantly prolonged my game as well as stopping me from having to build units and go to war with someone just to slaughter their prophets, which seriously takes the immersion out of it for me (what kind of asshole truly delights in slaughtering peaceful missionaries and people of faith?).

I've recently been unselecting religious victory based on another suggestion and personal preference. I often find it difficult to play past the information age (and that's usually a technicality with a springboard tech that enters me into it, rest of the world is renaissance) simply because I'm already wrapping up my victory condition by then. And all cities founded on a coast on the same continent as their capital are ALWAYS 100% loyal. They can also MOVE THEIR CAPITAL to any city with a cothon. If that wasn't enough to get you to lick your chops, have I mentioned that every government plaza building increases your trade route capacity by 1? Select Autocracy as your government, and go to town on those settlers. Oh did I forget to mention that settlers get extra movement speed (6 total) and crazy vision (+2) when on water tiles? Yeah they are crazy OP You will go from a small empire of 3 or 4 in the first age to a massive empire of 12-15 in the next. If done correctly, your first two cities (maybe three cities if you don't crank out a bunch of biremes to conquer someone like I do) can crank out a settler EACH every 5-12 turns. Their unique district is the Cothon (harbor district) that increases settler production in that city by ANOTHER 50%. Combine this with the policy card that does the same thing (settler production +50%) and you have a solid settler production.

That hall increases your settler production by 50% and gives you a builder in each new city when founding.

It goes like this: first 40 to 50 turns, focus on getting shipbuilding and building the government plaza with the ancesteral hall. I wrote this up a few days ago about how Phoenicia is the best new civ (yes better than gold lord Mali, instant ocean sail Lupe, and levy the world Hungary).
