(Civ 6) COMPLETE Leader Tier List For Civilization 6 || Guide For Civilization 6

what is up and i welcome each and every one of you back to a brand new civ six or civilization six video hope you're all having fantastic days and if not hope i can make your day just a little bit better but today we are going to be finishing the civ 6 or civilization 6 tier list i did 20 sieves the first time i have to do 26 now probably actually 30 if i'm being completely honest if i'm ranking every leader so i'm not going to go as in depth as last time i want this video to hopefully be under or around 30 minutes so uh yeah as always let me know what you guys think leave a like and subscribe if you do enjoy and let's start the video the first civilization is going to be egypt led by cleopatra now her leader ability is in my opinion bait for the most part i don't like giving food to enemy ai uh in multiplayer that's probably a good idea though if you do have an ally especially but mediterranean's bright is all in all not the worst ability the wonder bonus you do need a little bit of luck for it but you should have enough wonders for enough rivers sorry for a couple of the wonders aside from that the mariana chariot archer is great if you have production but it's just too expensive in my opinion sphynx is great for religious victory but her abilities are a lot weaker due to her being an original sieve and nothing really stands out for a victory type aside from maybe culture so uh yeah all in all i am going to go ahead and put her in the c-ish tier i think she's i think she's a little better than mansa moussa but that's about it the only changes i do is allow her to bring back culture from from trade routes as well as a cheaper unique unit the next civ summoned to the council where there's only one person on said council is going to be pericles uh pericles i think's a little better than gorgo his leader ability is great synergy with the acropolis and plato's republic aside from that don't really bother with the hoplite if you are pericles it could be decent on gorgo but it's just usually not worth it on gree on pericles the more city states you have in the game the better pericles is and i just have to say it again the acropolis synergy with his unique ability is going to give you insane amounts of culture all in all i am going to put pericles in the b tier i will put him ahead of scotland he does really really well with a culture victory making a lot of culture and honestly i wouldn't really change him up too much because he isn't like overbearing or anything the next sieve we're going to be talking about is katherine de medici black queen to be exact now the leader ability is pretty solid especially if you can get a bonus early on and get the plus three combat strength aside from that grand tour is limited but is really good when you do get to the mid game aside from that garden imperial is a really good unique unit especially if there are multiple sieves on your continent and great general points are nothing to scoff at uh sure chateau's kinda like the sphinx in a way but it gives gold instead of faith there's really nothing wrong with her but she doesn't have anything that stands out too much diplo visibility doesn't really matter on deity because you're always going to be lower for the most part it could be great on multiplayer though you can't really use guard imperials for the culture victory although you can use them to knock out a couple of opponents and her spies are amazing that's probably what stands out about her all in all i will put her in the b tier again just below scotland in my opinion pretty decent civ and again would not change anything about her the next sieve on the chopping block is john curtin of australia now his citadel is a little bit rng because you do have to get someone to declare war on you or for you to liberate a city which isn't all too likely he has amazing housing and adjacency bonuses though that literally let him do any victory type with some sort of proficiency aside from maybe domination aside from that the digger doesn't require oil so never mind that domination remark the outback stations are amazing but again they do need a little bit of luck in order for you to make the most use of them he's really great at everything especially with adjacency and if you could just get a couple breathtaking tiles you could definitely skyrocket your game all in all i am going to give him an a tier ranking in my opinion right above bull moose teddy they're fairly even uh i'd fix him by having it so that land down under doesn't give you housing i think that's a little bit too broken time for the next sieve one of my favorites suleiman of the ottoman empire now the ottomans have amazing abilities for just one victory type that being domination ibrahim is the big daddy of all the governors amazing promotions civ ability is insane he gets loyalty and amenities which is all you really need for a domination victory the great turkish bombard also gives great production and your siege units are going to be unstoppable grand bazaar is pretty decent for economy the barbary corsair is really only good on water maps but it's still a decent unit the janissaries make you and your enemy wet your pants for different reasons it's the best unique unit in the game maybe second it's stronger cheaper with a free promotion not versatile really but without a doubt they are one of the best domination sieves in the game they literally have everything you could ask for there's no question in my mind suleiman is definitely asked here he's ahead of nubia and alexander and i think he might i'm gonna put him ahead of jay of armin in my opinion jfarman gets bonuses to culture but suleiman literally gets everything loyalty amenities for domination uh there's a lot of changes i'd make remove the amenity bonus make janissaries as expensive as musketmen remove the free governor title at muskitman technology and have 25 towards siege instead of the 50 japan is the next civilization the uh hojo toki moon uh divine wins pretty much a meme ability it's unless it's an archipelago map but the theater and holy site bonuses are pretty solid for culture and religion he has the most consistent adjacency bonus in the game because you just have to place districts next to each other the samurai is amazing but you need to go for culture and science to make the most use of it really the electronic factories is really a meh ability they're the most versatile civ in my opinion in the entire game but they don't really specialize in anything in my honest opinion i'm going to put them in the a tier i think right i'll put them in the same tier as bull moose teddy and john curtin you know what i'll do it alphabetically we'll have bull moose we'll have hojo and then we'll have john curtin all three of these guys are pretty much the same level they do have some drawbacks not being an s tier but they are still top of the cream of the crop korea is going to be let next led by siandiyak now korea is a really good sieve horang is a massive ability but you do need some time to scale it up three kingdoms is great giving you science and extra food and ceowan is one of the best districts of the game allowing you to make use of rationalism as long as no districts are nearby the halaqa is just a bad unit don't build it but the one problem they do have is not having production for a science victory which is what they are based around all in all korea is going in the a tier above paka cutie but under the top three sieves in that tier what i would change about her is make c1 plus two instead of plus four but allow it so you can use mountains reef and rainforests for adjacency aside from that remove the science from mines but replace it with extra production and she would be a pretty decent sieve next up on the list is the congo despite the fact he can't get religions the free apostles as well as casey allows him to be extremely strong especially later on in the game his great person points are really good for culture the unique unit isn't really it's it's good right but it isn't anything you should base your game around the men's is an amazing district allowing you to get five housing no matter what as well as extra yields aside from that the relic artifact bonus does require some rng and you do need some time to get him scaled up to a hundred percent but he is still a very good sieve all in all i think he does deserve the b tier ranking i'll put him i think i'll put him below catherine i think catherine's a little better than he is but he's still a very good save and i wouldn't change anything about him shaka zulu is the next friend we have now shaka gets coors and armies which get insane buffs as well as earlier on in the game the loyalty bonus is too strong in my opinion the econda is a little underwhelming though it really isn't worth it instead of an encampment to be fair the course can be billed but that's really just due to its unique ability more so than the akanda just being able to build course outright the mp is a good unit but it isn't great it's not the terror it was in civilization five he's really all in on domination but he isn't at the level of someone like suleiman or grand colombia or something like that he doesn't have science or culture for the setup and if domination doesn't work you're pretty much screwed when it comes to tears shaka is going to be b tier i think right above of scotland as well he does domination very well and really there is not too much eye change except for maybe allowing the econda itself to get science and shaka to maybe get culture from kills with cores spoiler alert i think russia is the best civ in the game he's got the best faith generation he's got the best culture generation with his free great people points from the lavrov if russia was this powerful in real life they wouldn't even need to go after the ukraine okay the cossack is a little meh grand embassy allows you to keep up in science and culture in the early game and honestly he's just an amazing not much else to be said russia is in my opinion one of the best if not the best civilization in the entire game there's a lot i change about him remove the great people generation and make the lavra a little bit more expensive and i think he would be as balanced as you could make him with that amazing kit our next victim is going to be genghis khan now genghis is one of the best cavalry civ the cash egg is essentially a mobile crossbowman nothing short of unstoppable as well as giving the great general enough movement speed to keep up with the rest of your army the diplo bonus he gets is a lot better later on once you do have opportunities to get higher diplo visibility but it is still a decent ability earlier on let's keep this short and sweet he's going to be in the lower end of the a tier in my opinion maybe a little close to b tier he really is fairly balanced the one thing i'd change is maybe make the cash eggs a little bit weaker quick reminder if you are enjoying feel free to leave a like and subscribe it does help me out a ton and you won't miss any future content but next on the list is cyrus cyrus is a good sieve the immortal in my opinion is a great unique unit satrapy's are probably a great trade route unit free trade routes as well as culture for roads nothing short of incredible for him fall of babylon is really where he makes his money's worth loyalty and movement speed after a surprise war easiest bonus to get and is very effective all in all i am going to put him right in the middle of a b tier a little better than catherine i think a little worse than scotland though he's a great civ honestly and there is really nothing i change about him either canada is our next civilization last best west is really a little bit later oriented than someone like russia's abilities but it does end up being a little better than russia later on aside from that the mount is pretty dope uh you get free national parks which synergizes well with canada the ice hockey rinks amazing especially near entertainment complexes the four faces of peace is really unique but it helps you since you can't get declared war on on deity ai's too stupid to cast as bellai aside from that the diplo generation really does help him out tier list wise canada is again going in the b tier i think they're a little better than pericles not as good as wilhelmina there are really actually i'll put him under pericles pretty strong sieve and again nothing i wouldn't change about him pound maker really does the opposite of his namesake he gets pound on deity i don't like him he gets favorable terms but it really is r and g depending on how much camper pastures are nearby the nikita is pretty underrated i'll say a trade route and a free trader and pottery is pretty good but it's it just one free trade route doesn't really make up for his lackluster kit the mikiwa might be the best unique improvement it's definitely a very good one and carries everything else the ol kidakla is pretty much a warrior with a free promotion but it's part of the scout line and scout line units are really bad after the early game crew are going in the sea tier i think i think they're actually a little better than poland but a little worse than kupe uh i'd give them food and production more for favorable terms ability but aside from that he really is not the best sin we're going to be ranking both eleanor's at once here they're pretty much the same aside from their civilization ability great works gives you insane loyalty pressure if you can get enough but where eleanor of aquitaine can get grand tour which gives her a lot more great work slots and chateau tourism the english eleanor really does not trick it doesn't synergize well at all essentially french eleanor is really good eleanor of england sucks completely we'll rank both eleanor is here eleanor francis getting the b tier i'll put her i think a little bit above her french counterpart but below uh really everybody else eleanor of england but aside from that is probably going to be worse than tamar i think uh it's just the ability doesn't really work what for what england is trying to do and england itself isn't really the strongest civ in the game so that doesn't help next up is going to be pedro of brazil now pedro has a couple of really unique abilities the great people cost is good but it requires you to set it up fast get those districts out asap amazon is his best ability if you're in rainforests you are going to be getting a lot of adjacency yields and appeal the battleship is good on a water map but i personally never use battleships so i will admit it's unlocked earlier as well as a lot stronger than a regular battleship the unique districts are pretty decent especially late game when you need the great people points brazil's tier is going to be in the a tier a very strong sieve i think his versatility puts him ahead of korea but i'll put him below korea but he is ahead of the last two a very strong sieve i'd give him 10 refund of great people points instead of the 20 percent he gets now to fix him we're gonna be ranking guitar shanx the free early pantheon she gets is really good and allows you to get religious settlements if you want it a great ability allowing you to naval purchase faith units aside from that you do need to settle on the coast to make her other abilities work to get the amenities and the extra adjacency zhang is pretty strong especially in formation although i don't know how many units you could have in a formation the kampung is pretty dope it's really good for naval games all in all she's probably eight here for a archipelago map lotoro of the mapuche is next on my list h i j k l there he is now 10 combat strength is pretty game breaking but you need the enemy to be in a golden age aside from that tokui is amazing if you can capture a couple of cities the culture boost as well as production and experience towards combat units will let you build a very fast army and get you actual armies a lot faster than usual malone riders are pretty great especially when pillaging but their unique improvement just sucks in my opinion mapuche's tier i was gonna put them in the sea tier i think they'll go b tier a little bit ahead of gilgamesh uh i do think they need a little bit buffs though like let him take cities that have positive loyalty because even if you pillage using his abilities if the enemy has net wise positive loyalty uh it really doesn't matter how much you're going to pillage sweden is next led by christina her abilities are very good but they take a long time to come online no early abilities means she's probably the weakest early game sieve in the game aside from mansa musa but when you do get great works her great theming bonuses as well as the diplo favor for great people points is really really nice the caroline is dog water honestly maybe even sausage water if there is such a tear never build that unit even if you're going for a domination victory the unique building synergize really well giving more slots as well as more culture and tourism all in all it might look like i'm fence-sitting but i would again give sweden the b-tier her abilities are really nice in fact i am gonna put her i think right under pericles i'll say uh i think so it takes a while to get online she doesn't have canada's defensive bonus but if you get to the mid game your abilities will allow you to skyrocket and take over the game dido is next now dido's kind of a weird sieve she gets a really easy ancestral hall thanks to her production for government plazas and their buildings inside of it and uh the kothon gives her production towards settlers as well that that's it like like i know there are other abilities but that's all she's really good with the trade rack capacity is only plus three which isn't too big in the late game aside from that the writing eureka is usually pretty easy to get the loyalty isn't really going to make too much sense even in an archipelago map because you're not going to be on the same continent the byreem is a decently strong unit if galleys were anything above dog water so all in all two decent settler abilities but not much else the only reason i am going to give her a c tier and not a d tier is because settler production is honestly pretty amazing her other abilities can be used in specific circumstances so i'll put her i think i think i'll actually put her in the higher end of the seat here that settler bonus will allow you to colonize a lot faster it's raid bus time it is scythia time now tamyris has amazing abilities probably the big mommy in civilization vi killer of cyrus is amazing the combat strength towards wounded units and the heel is so much a third of your health aside from that people of the step is again oh lord that is they're coming the scythians are coming double light cavalry units should not be taken lightly soccer horse archer is essentially not a unique unit because i don't know when you should build it maybe for aeroscore but that's about it and the kurgan can be pretty good to get your golden faith all in all her abilities are amazing i'm going to put her number i'll put her in the s tier a little under alexander she can really only do domination but she does that so well i have to give it to her i'd make her heal maybe 10 hp or 15 instead of 30 to balance her out a bit the biggest recipient of the april update peter of spain is next philip ii of spain is next on our list i always get those two mixed up treasure fleet is now an amazing ability the trade route bonus gives you a lot of genuinely everything conquistador is decent but you combine that with this ability el escoriel if the enemy sieves aren't following your religion you're gonna have the easiest time of your life for a domination victory the mission can be really good his only problem is the fact that he can't really found a religion and he does require multiple continents to colonize and make use of treasure fleets spain would be asked here if their abilities were a little bit more reliable but since they're not i'll put them in the high b tier i think he is better than wilhelm now i'll put him ahead of wilhelmina but under hungary in fact i might actually just put hungary in the eight here because that's how good levying is the thunderbolt of the north herald hardrada is what we're talking about next and he pretty much is a thunderbolt because he has one good uh phase and it's over just like that the viking longship is really only good in the early ancient era his pillaging is really good and if you go for a pillaging run he is probably the best civ but you're not going to win a domination victory on him honestly the berserker is pretty great now uh the combat strength negative only works with melee attacks now so that's pretty nice the movement speed is great as well and the stave church is pretty decent all in all i am going to put norway in the low b tier ahead of gilgamesh but below lotoro i think that's a good spot saladin is going to be next now arabia is another decently strong sieve that is very underrated the warship building is extremely op 10 science and culture for what will probably be like 30 total faith you get a free religion with last prophet science is amazing the madrasa gives you insane amounts of faith pair that with void singers you're going to win the easiest science victory ever ma'am luke's the only thing that's kind of meh but even they are a pretty decent unique unit all in all arabia is most definitely an a tier sieve their bonuses are just so underrated i'm gonna go ahead and put him right up i'll put him under genghis i think he he's he's good but i don't think he's better than everyone else uh what i would do for him is make worship buildings 50 cheaper instead of the 90 cheaper english victoria's next and she is a little bit better than the eleanor counterpart pax britannia giving you free melee and free naval units is extremely strong the trade route capacity is also great workshop of the world lets you accumulate strategics earlier and lots of good stuff with industrial zones the unique units are decent depending on the map in a continent's map the redcoat and the sea dog will be at their fullest extent they're good for multiple continents like i said and the royal navy dockyard makes their navy a lot better than normal victoria's going to get that nice beat here i'll put her i think right under lotoro it really does depend on the map archipelago and continents she's probably a b tier but on a panchee she's probably no higher than c tier maybe even d tier lady thick that i mean six guy is going to be next on our list if i can obviously find her there she is now she has some really good abilities but the restrictive settling negative 15 to all yields is almost not worth it at that point the free builder helps especially if you can get a second with ancestral hall she gets great gold generation the observatory is decent but you do need plantations nearby to make it good aside from that she is a pretty run-of-the-mill average sieve gonna have to go ahead and i think i'm gonna put her ahead of gilgamesh in the b tier so many sieves in the b tier but i guess it's in the center where they're supposed to be the next new frontier passive we're going to be talking about is simon boulevard of grand columbia the common dante generals as well as a great general 10 extra combat strength just for existing is amazing the movement speed and the great general movement speed will make your units fast as boy aside from that he's really an all game domination save if it doesn't work early on it will work later in the game because the yanero is amazing haciendas are the best unique improvement giving you gold production food and housing literally everything and movement speed in civ 6 is key which grand colombia has in spades tier list wise they're going in the s tier right above trajan in my opinion one of the best domination sieves and nothing short of sensational all game around exiv on the list is going to be menelek of ethiopia council of ministers is amazing especially when paired with void singers great singer synergy he gets amazing faith but he uses that for other victory types raku churches give tourism he could buy archaeologists and museums with faith his faith turns into science and culture he really uses faith for everything else which is great cheerless wise for menelek he is going to be going all the way up in the a tier where exactly i'm putting him right at the top this guy's got the best hat but when it comes to gameplay what i would do is let him receive five percent science and culture from faith and limit the amount of tourism you get from raccoon churches now here comes the most surprising sieve on the list catherine magnificence you might be asking siv lifer what's so surprising about her you'll see in a minute her france abilities synergize really well with her new abilities no more diplo favor now it is court festivals all the way the culture from luxuries are nice but court festivals have single-handedly won me culture victories that's really all i have to say about catherine honestly she just gets court festivals but they're so strong i'm taking an already b-tier sieve and i'm forcefully shoving her up in the s-tier i'm actually gonna put her i put her i i'll put her right under jay of varmint i think jay of armin might be a little better but catherine is in that same boat with him and i'd have it so court festivals are obviously weaker unlike his magnificence counterpart rough rider teddy is extremely underwhelming aside from maybe his color which really doesn't make sense but roosevelt coralorie the five combat strength is great early game but if there's no sieve on your continent or it has a couple of cities you're not going to find too much use for it you'll be able to get a lot more tr city states than you would normally but you need trade routes for that so you sort of have a delayed envoy generation if that makes sense aside from that his abilities are really all over the place founding fathers diplomatic the wild card slot is nice though rough riders is domination cultural on your continent obviously film studios cultural p51 is domination roosevelt is domination diplomatic he's really too all over i'm gonna be putting this man right in the seat here i think above of dido but he really his abilities are don't make too much sense in my opinion byzantium is the next sieve we're to be talking about one of the best domination sieves free heavy cavalry from hippodromes and arenas and stadiums and zoos you see where i'm getting at dogma gives a great general bonus making them one of the best unique units in the game dromens really are only good for water maps which you don't want to be playing with basil so they're kind of a side factor taxis and the extra great profit points lets you found a religion as well as convert and get combat strength a lot easier and the fact that cavalry units do full damage against walls following cities with the same religion as byzantium which won't be too hard if you kill a couple units is absolutely amazing there's nothing to say there's literally nothing to say basil is going all the way in the s tier i'll put him actually probably under i'll put him i'll put him above katherine below jaya varman i think an absolutely fantastic save to play as is next now gull has a really nice early political philosophy rush giving you a lot of culture when building units which you should do his house that culture gives culture or from uh mines that's kind of a tongue twister but specialty districts no longer receive minor adjacencies and they can't be built to the city center which kind of sucks aside from that the early manned arms rush you could do the cheese tactic with the openum probably bumps them up a little bit we'll get to the ranking in a while but the guy satai is pretty nice their one weakness is limited district options though all in all tier list wise gol would usually be b tier i'll put him at the top of the b tier with hungary because of the man at arms rush which is extremely good cheese if you do find yourself in wanting some french cuisine but yeah he's one of the best sieves if he does get that nice man in arms rush ah time for the most broken sieve i've ever seen hammurabi is going to be next on the list of babylon i'm not even going to talk about his other abilities i'm going to say three things planes ancient era that's it all right the fact you get full science from eureka's should have been stopped in pre-production this is absolutely insane the negative 50 science doesn't matter when you're literally dropping bombs ahead of civilians who haven't known anything except a feudalistic lifestyle the palgum's amazing his leader ability is also amazing oh my god he's even made me sneeze somehow aside from that one of the top sieves in the entire game tier list wise for babylon i don't think he's as strong as peter but he's almost right there i'm it could really depend on the day but these two are most definitely the strongest in the entire game vietnam is next on the list botrio is the best defensive civ in the game due to five combat strength and movement speed and rough terrain but if they're in your territory those bonuses are doubled so yeah nine dragon river delta restricts district placement but it does give you some bonuses and lets you actually plant woods uh fairly early on in the game the crossbowman replacement voician another elephant unit very very strong you can't really build a lot of them they're kind of like the mariana chariot archer except at this stage of the game you should have industrial zones and should be able to build them decently fast aside from that fan is great for culture and tourism giving you a lot vietnam is going to the a tier s tier for new players in my opinion i'm gonna go ahead and put her right above cutie like we did with eleanor we're gonna rank both kublai khans at the exact same time now we have both china and mongolia they get a free economic policy which is never bad the civics and inspirations are nice but there's a limited amount you can get per game what i'm trying to say is he is amazing with mongolia but he is nothing short of useless when it comes to china all tier list wise i'm going to put mongolia genghis khan all the way up in the high ish b tier right under wilhelmina uh the reason for that is because the free trading post you get from a trade route does allow you to make use of mongolia's combat strength bonuses a lot better than normal but when it comes to china it just doesn't make sense the economic policy slot isn't going to save you from china's lackluster abilities that really don't synergize well i'll put him actually up right under eleanor he's probably the worst civ in the game in all honesty the only reason china's that high is because of their wonder build bonus you remove that and you're looking at a d tiers and the final leader in civilization 6 zhao the third now let's talk about it he's very map dependent on a pangaea map you're not going to get enough trade routes because they have to be on the coast or with the harbor but the more water there are the better he'll be the more str sieves there are the better he'll be his traders are the best in the game but they are sort of coastal locked you need actual water routes for international trade routes victoria gives amazing buffs but it's the most restricted unique improvement it has to be on a coaster lake tile adjacent to a uh resource but it can't be adjacent to another victoria so it is very restrictive aside from that navigation school's pretty op some science and naval boosts are nothing to scoff at uh yeah when it comes down to it the final sieve on our tier list ignored the second eleanor of england yeah she's smiling she'll probably get the spot over that one portugal is going to be going overall i'm going to put him in the eight tier but i am going to put him a little bit above korea now this is dependent on an archipelago map he goes here best civ in the game by far on archipelago but on a pangaea map he's honestly probably no higher than c tier it really is map dependent i'll put him under korea honestly but uh yeah i think all in all this is a pretty solid tier miss tier list let me know what you guys think down below and as always uh yeah see you in the next video peace you
