(Civilization 6 Guide) A Complete Guide To DOMINATE Early Wars In Civilization 6

what is up and i welcome each and every one of you back to a brand new civ 6 or civilization 6 guide in this civ 6 video today we are going to be talking about early war how to clobber steal the land of the natives take them out and break every single clause of international treaty ever created pretty much it is going to be an early war guide now we are playing as tamar because if you can win us tomorrow you can win as just about anybody and the mods i have on are all just quality of life i did remove the game modes i just want to like show you guys exactly how to win an early war on deity difficulty as effortlessly as possible we'll do it from start to finish just like the first 50 turns guide i did last week check that out by the way it's a pretty good guide looking at the start right here i'm gonna move on the plane's hill we sacrifice a turn but i leave this force to be chopped later on in the game and i get a 2-2 tile to start which is really nice but uh that's worth spending a turn on that so we'll hit next turn the first thing we'll talk about is the build order we'll settle our capital of billisy the build order is going to be simple as i should probably turn on the music right now there we go that's absolute heat right there it's going to help me win the game but q wise you will want to go for monument warrior get the warrior first into monument into one or two settlers and then build out the rest of your armies while getting an encampment district now there are two different bee lines you could go for horseman rush or swordsman rush don't go spears or war carts like they just suck you'll never catch me dead using a spearman if i die and they lure me into the grave with the spearmen from civ 6 i'm haunting you for the rest of your life i don't even care but i do recommend going for swordsman in all seriousness horsemen are fine and you do get them out sooner than swordsmen but the problem is if the enemy ai builds walls that is going to be a problem horsemen are then useless with swordsman we'd be able to get battering rams for walls and then be light archery and then writing for some science which is really really nice but that's pretty much the science and build order civic wise you'll want to make a b-line for early empire to help you produce settlers faster and then political philosophy to get oligarchy the plus for combat strength and experience is legendary and then military tradition for flanking bonuses and great general points if you're going for a horseman rush go for military tradition first because of maneuver and that's pretty much all i have to say let's begin moving in the warrior while we already met a city-state that culture is going to be great but let's keep moving now why should you go for an early war let's talk about it while we go through the motions and i do why am i working that culture tile early war lets you do two things number one you eliminate your nearest competitor last time i checked one out of five is a lot better of a chance than one out of six although i could be wrong i didn't really do too well in math class but uh yeah you want to take out a competitor giving you a higher chance of winning the game not only that but you'll also take their cities imagine you settled the city and you got a free district five population and six improved tiles that is absolutely massive and that's pretty much what you get by taking enemy cities instead of having them instead of having to settle those cities we'll go god king and discipline for money save your money so you can immediately upgrade warriors into swordsman when you can let's hit next turn the starts pretty decent but it isn't anything too crazy uh we'll get that food you need production more than anything as we meet our victim of france capitals right there should be easy to take out you want production more than anything as i was saying because early on you have to go as fast as possible the ai gets so many buffs that if you leave them and attack too late it's going to be almost impossible to take them out so do try to start the war by turn 40 or 50 at the latest that's usually the ideal time to start we'll get bronze working in 26 turns should be a little bit sooner than that as france is going for wonders and we meet the city state of hatuza um i think this is the end of this not not yet that's a lake apparently but uh yeah there's france there's the empire explore them as much as you can try to find exactly where they are there's an encampment down there we'll take it out hopefully we will be able to get a boost to bronze working let's keep moving you are going to continue exploring i think also try to find another civilization near your target so you can big mac strat them what that is pretty much is i'm the bun they're the meat there's another bun up there maybe and then we both attack france make it easier for both of us they'd have to fight a war on two fronts ask any german friend they were on two fronts doesn't really work out too well and after that you could go for the other sieve as well because their military is going to be weakened because unlike the sieve lifer who never condoned suicide on the civ life or channel enemy ai just throws their units at the city kind of like the soviets in world war ii i think i made that joke in a previous video but it's a good joke so i'm gonna make it again oh wow there's sahara albeda that's it's pretty decent um but yeah pretty much we're also going to need iron as soon as we can possibly get it uh let's explore through there france doesn't like me that's fine but essentially what you're going to want to do is get iron if you don't have iron honestly just restart it'll be too late to make a decent war effort anyway so it really isn't worth it most of the time uh let's see if there's anybody down south actually that might be easier to take out uh you're gonna keep moving and there is that's a civil that is a civilization and that is metallic we can commence operation big mac strat let's keep moving there all this talk about big macs is making me hungry am american after well not american but close enough i guess bronze working's coming in seven turns we got our first settler out i'm going to build another warrior uh i'm going to not get a builder yet and i'll tell you guys why in a little bit there are lots of hills down here so i think the next city is actually going to come here probably because there's a good chance of us finding iron down there there's also a decent amount of hills near our uh capital city for example we have um one two uh we're settled on one so there's three four tiles where iron could potentially spawn on iron spawns on hills as we meet another culture city state pretty much spawn on hills without anything on top of them so yeah pretty much but the other thing you're going to want to do with your settlers is settle near your target as much as possible so that when you take their cities you'll be able to at least get some loyalty pressure to keep those cities uh it makes things a lot easier for you there's eleanor now is eleanor close no they're not no they're super far away actually all right let's explore down there and then move the warrior back home you're going to move in like that we'll next turn it over the past early empire is perfect i no it's not we get we got to keep god king in there for another turn production wise here i'll go for another settler and you can move through there now the best governor to get i'm gonna get i think usually it's pingala to get extra science but we're so early on i now are getting pingala bengal is the best because he does give you lots of science and lots of culture early on in the game which is what you're going to need to unlock all the techs you do need to win the war now here in the city of gory you're going to work that tile so you can get another warrior out in a decent amount of time while my capital works i'm building settlers iron wise we have wow we actually spawned right on top of iron that's pretty good kind of sucks well i guess there's another iron for us to send a builder towards which is nice now pantheon time there are three good pantheons god of the forge fertility rights and city patron goddess this is for the encampment building this is to help you get iron working faster and this is to help you build units i'm gonna go fertility rights just so i can get this iron mine just so i am able to when are you gonna get that five turns is a little no it's fine i'll wait for five turns uh gives you a boost towards iron working allowing you to get swordsmen a lot faster now what i'm gonna do i'm getting a settler in 12 turns i think it's actually better for me to just go chop out the settler we gotta chop out the settler as fast as possible again if you don't start near iron or horses it's better to just restart the game the early war isn't going to work obviously you don't have to restart it if you're fine with not going for an early war but if you do really want to go for an early war a lot of the times it is better to just restart uh let's go move in our units there i want my third city to be sort of near france as they do levy a military that's okay let's move in through there move in there move in up there looking pretty good actually we got the iron let's go chop out the rest of the settler now i think the next best place to put this guy is probably on top of the spices maybe um again i want him to be as close to france as possible but it doesn't seem like we're going to be able to get any of these cities i could settle that city i guess it's just not worth it i don't think um let's move him there for now and we'll see maybe this population would give us the benefit of settling there give us an advantage here now in our capital we're gonna go for another warrior we just need to upgrade as many warriors to swordsmen and start the war as fast as possible try to get a normal age so you're not dealing with loyalty all the time but a lot of the times it's just not gonna be possible uh looking at this yeah there's no way we're gonna have to settle that city then not a bad city honestly especially on top of the spices that's really good um but loyalty wise we're gonna have to deal with it which is fine i guess because dealing with loyalty is a part of domination and i'll show you guys how to deal if you can't actually uh keep cities with loyalty so let's settle on top of the spices and you can also i don't want to build a warrior here actually get a slinger and we'll do the same thing here mainly because if i'm building a warrior and i get iron working then that warrior will automatically become a swordsman if that makes sense uh and then like if you're like one turn from building a warrior and i research ironworking the warrior will turn into a swordsman and become more expensive which kind of sucks we'll get the encampment as well i'll put it up there it's 110 gold to upgrade a warrior into a swordsman and 20 iron so obviously someone like the is more expensive to upgrade but requires less iron so there is that to consider but for a regular game with the regular swordsman as we get state workforce it's going to be very expensive to get that when it comes to strategic resources uh governor title here we almost have the tech we need so we'll just go connoisseur right now we'll next turn it we're probably gonna end up in a dark age honestly but there's really nothing we could do about that we have four warriors which should be more than enough to take out the enemy there's iron working i think we can upgrade two of these guys right now and i think i'm just gonna immediately go for france probably um i think i could wait actually we're gonna get it we're in a normal age that's fine let's start moving in the swordsman again the faster we declare war the better it's turned 51 already that's pretty rough we'll get ethiopia to join in on the war as we enter the classical era political philosophy is coming in very soon they're all in golden ages let's just start moving everybody i think what i'll do do you want to get the joint war i think i have to declare war first i do uh let's just next turn it for right now after the encampment i'm going to go encampment training for the great general but we should start very soon board joe's a very weak city so we'll deal with that oligarchy obviously we'll go for conscription for more money urban planning for more production and we'll keep god king in for again a little bit more money there we go we'll trade away one of our iron for a little bit of gold trade away open borders doesn't really matter this early in the game and we could now upgrade another one of these guys that's good great uh we'll have three swordsmen coming in soon they're bringing in a settler i could steal that so let's move there i'm hoping they move on to that tile and that i could definitely attack them and take their city for sure there's a warrior up there we'll build a warrior to go defend that you're going encampment training for the great general let's see where they move to uh we can move up a little bit i guess move like that and then you're gonna move as well and the rest of you are fine for now we'll get a monument let's next turn it i don't send it right there's military tradition i'm gonna move there and there they stay there for another minute we should be able to attack them uh let's start moving three of these guys should be enough let's next turn it i'll take your delegation for money and they settled the city of la rochelle now you could usually see if they are building walls or not it seems like france is going for wonders more than anything so we should have the advantage but just in case i am going to get started on a battering ram in 15 turns i'll wait till i can upgrade this guy as well which should be two turns from now let's try to get a little bit of hatuza for science and let's do it let's declare war on the french good don't worry about their military strength the ai's so dumb they're probably gonna have half their military around and usually even if you're down two to one you can deal with their military and we'll also get ethiopia to join the war you're not willing to do that oh because you're in another war that makes sense looks like we're going to be on our own for this one that's fine be able to get some really nice experience and we have reinforcements coming as well now the warrior attacking is fine because then the city strength would be a lot weaker and as you can see warriors just melt through the city now dealing with loyalty is going to be a little tricky um normally i think with how weak their other cities are i think what we could do um we okay we're not gonna be able to hold on to the city at all uh i think what we're gonna do we'll keep the city right we'll keep the city but we'll ignore it completely since they don't have walls i'm gonna go battle cry you can also see what wonders they're building to show you sort of their tech path they want great bath stonehenge that as well as astrology and what is that again a campus so we can say they've definitely went astrology writing and pottery so they're probably not near masonry they're not going to get walls anytime soon leave la rochelle there's no way we keep the city even if we move the governor in there so we're just gonna leave it uh i think you are gonna be able to upgrade in the next turn for sure but honestly with how weak these cities are super early on we can easily just go ahead and mince the rest of their empire to just shreds uh will promote you to battle cry usually go toward us if they go walls but we've already said that they probably aren't gonna get walls anytime soon so it's actually oh he'd pillage that encampment that's why i'm not getting iron but uh usually what was i saying yes get tortoise if they're going for walls but the heck they're even going for districts right now so it's really like not worth it um oh you're building those swords this is what i meant he automatically changes to a swordsman in a way that sucks but france really doesn't have a military anymore let's move in there they have a swordsman in there that's fine and losing la rochelle is also fine when do we get the great general still fairly far away leave that city he's just going to uh attack france is gonna he's just gonna attack france's empire we'll loop back around and take that city after france has dealt with for now though i want to keep this guy in as bait for sure uh we don't it's going to be tough with the swordsman in the city he is going to rebel back to france in like nine turns it's fine but now that this is 25 strength we should be able to easily move in i'll use a slinger as bait try not to lose your si uh units because if you do that it's just going to be problems all around you want to keep your units keep them nice and well promoted so that they could do some work uh will auto attack with you the more promoted units are the stronger they're going to be so try to hold on to your promoted units is what i'm trying to say i'll take your money you're going to attack you're going to attack that's fine we wanted to use that guy as bait anyways now here this guy can pillage for food and right here who's closer to a promotion you are you are going to attack there is the second city of bordeaux now board joe isn't a very good city but it has stonehenge i think what i'm going to do we're not keeping this city either so i think i'm just going to raise it to the ground probably there's really no point in trying to keep that city it's also not a very good one so i am just going to raise it la rochelle could be strong so i'm going to keep it here just stay fortified that's fine that's fine that's all fine for okay that might not be fine uh attack this guy it says major victory i'll promote you to battlecry you can move up there i'll risk it major victory i should nope i died i was gonna die anyway so i guess that's kind of fine probably should have kept the city now that i think about it but this is what happens the ai just sort of like cheats in a way um we'll back out with this warrior stay fortified attack this guy and then we have another warrior coming in so i think what we're gonna do in this situation is they're trying to make peace right now we're not going to do that yet uh the good they're not going to try to come are they maybe we could get them to join there we go um you're fine you're going to promote to volley you'll move up a lot rochelle's going back to them in four turns um okay that's fine actually we could go for paris right now uh you're just going to stay fortified i think i want to take lara shell so i can upgrade that swordsman we have reinforcements coming in a lot of the times it is better to be patient than try to do uh everything as fast as possible uh great person wise we'll get the great general very very soon actually um but yeah we'll take out lara shell first so we can upgrade this guy free builder and they also have barbarians to deal with that's great for us good you'll move in there and uh we'll hit next turn for now there's military training uh it's rebelling in the next turn so we're not gonna have to deal with these guys anymore let's keep moving civic wise drama poetry and we'll get serenity of a youthia you are going to move in there you should be there soon and then four swordsmen is more than enough to take out paris right now or baddie if you are french let's start attacking with this you'll be there soon and then we have the battering ram although they don't they're not building walls i don't see the animation so we should be okay it's turned 70 though they're not making a lot of science so they shouldn't come out with like a super advanced unit sometimes it's just not going to be feasible to attack early on because the ai does something like uh gets 50 science somehow and they just have crossbowmen before you could do anything if that happens really there's not a lot for you to do except restart uh it happens to the best of us that's fine paris is looking at 30 combat strengths so attack attack and attack you can now upgrade as well we'll keep the city again and three turns to rebellion that's okay i just wanted to do that so we now have four swordsmen which is good another encampment's coming in down south that's fine if you could deal with it and there is the great general we can also transport this guy here and start production towards a archer to deal with this and you could go for a granary for now i guess doesn't don't build what i'm building i just want to get the combat over with right now so just spend everybody to heal right now that's fine and you can upgrade to an archer as well we'll spend a couple turns to heal everybody up uh you rebel next turn actually it's pretty bad um honestly 30 combat strength is super weak so we don't really have to uh focus on healing up too much i don't think so we'll start moving in the units yeah moving there moving there we'll use the builder as bait that's fine let's next turn it for right now it did rebel that's okay this guy is gonna move out there we're gonna leave it like we said uh move up move up make sure you use the great general as best as possible give everybody the combat strength and movement speed uh you can move there and begin attacking paris is at 30 combat strength you could pillage districts to reduce combat strength that actually works but uh the good news is that paris is such a weak city right now that even if we lose a couple units we will be able to take it and then break the french's back she wants to make peace i'm not going to do that it's almost never worth making peace unless you know you can't advance any further but we know we can advance a lot further so we'll attack attack um i'm not going to attack with you yet i'll attack with you actually we'll attack even if we lose a unit taking paris is worth it and okay they bought the unit but we're gonna take the city next turn which is great uh here you're gonna move back attack that city and yeah do you take the city i don't think so hmm move the great general up they're going to take the builder that's fine now if i attack with you it says major victory but i'd risk losing you martial's going to be easy to take out ah but we do i'll promote no no i think you take the city no all right well you take the city for sure then let's do that there's paris now taken uh we'll keep the city although loyalty wise it's gonna be again an issue to keep uh since paris is such a big city we'll move in the governor to paris we'll heal up a little bit and then martial is almost dead already again people are going to denounce you just ignore them martial is so oh we lost a unit uh promotes you to commando for more movement speed we're going for speed right now we've lost a couple units that's okay um all right you're going to now promote to tortoise because they have a lot of catapults we'll try to beeline their city as fast as possible i think i think that's the best move especially with the dark age coming up uh go for another archer i really don't want to have to deal with back home it's fine it's next turn it martial is looking really weak right now and i think france is done after that that's fine these guys are kind of annoying not much to do about that though uh we'll cross we'll move up there and then we'll use the archer to do some damage to the catapults i think two turns to rebellion that's fine get the traitor we'll repair the campus and then here i think we'll just attack with you probably stay fortified with oligarchy and the great general will be more than fine especially with how weak this city is i'm really going for the city because it's like two shots away from dying right now and they have to deal with the barbs as well it's fine he doesn't like me that's okay uh you're fine again if we lose paris not the worst thing in the world um cool we'll attack with you there we go and then we can attack with two units next turn you can just stay fortified for now and you're actually going to attack that guy this guy's going to be bait again archers are a lot better as bait than regular swordsman let's see what happens here that's fine again i wanted that to be bait you're going to attack we lost paris again that's okay i'm going to attack with you and then attack with you and you're still alive somehow we probably lose another warrior uh governor title wise i'll know where to reassign you i don't think uh you're fine just stay fortified let's see what happens here again that was a mistake for sure yeah no doubt about it um move up there you can promote so i'll give you tortoise and then you'll be able to pillage next turn if you live let's see what happens here that's fine again i'm really just rushing this because i know i could take the city a lot of the times you do want to be a little bit more careful than i am but with the city surrounded we should be able to take it very quickly we'll build another swordsman governor title wise we're going to go for researcher this guy here is going to skip your turn we'll next turn it for right now this is why i leave these free cities open because the ai will attack these cities more than they'll attack you so we can attack with you i'm going to keep you fortified because the city dies next turn for sure move there finish them off next turn it again they're going to attack the barbarian they just view him as a bigger threat and now we could finish off the french there we go france is now defeated we do have positive loyalty which is great monument right there and then we go back and mop up the rest of these cities is the goal now i did lose a lot more units than usual i did go a little bit more ham than you should but with eleanor now at war with menolak we don't really have to worry about him as much uh move up there city surrounded for those of you who don't know zone of control is what is for melee units it's this tile and all the tiles around it aside from tiles that have a river rivers break zone of control to get a city to not heal anymore put it under siege you want all tiles under your zone of control which is what i have over here stay asleep we'll next turn it paris is going to die if not next turn then the turn after that that's fine uh dies next turn for sure they shouldn't get a wall that quickly i'd be pretty pissed if they did we do have two reinforcements coming in to help us against la rochelle again if you lose units it's gonna be like me it's gonna be a little bit tougher but i mean the fact that we did end up taking out france is good in and of itself they did spawn another unit that's perfectly fine because this city is going to die anyway that's great they do have a lot of these we have to deal with but at the very least we do have paris under our control i am going to skip ahead a little bit because the only thing that's left is taking out the last free city which does end up getting walls and has a military even stronger than i do which is exactly what you get on deity the deity experience but i hope you guys actually learned exactly how to take out the enemy sieves if that makes any sense how to win an early war it really is predicated on speed now the one thing i'm going to tell you guys not to do as i overlook the footage don't leave any free cities a lot of the times i would leave the free cities so i could come back to them later but they did end up taking out two to three of my swordsmen which did slow down my uh combat i guess it did slow everything down a little bit so again if you're not going to be able to keep a city raise it to the ground or just be more careful with your units than i was but uh yeah we're gonna get the battering ram essentially and we are going to wipe out the last free city game over with as fast as possible let's move in there attack next turn it good battering ram should allow me to blitz the walls asap there we go there we go and maybe i don't think we take it no take it next turn though i'll just shift enter for now but uh we got two archers that is pretty much the early war guide we have so many cities even though we didn't focus on our economy our science and culture still doing all right again if we just built campuses and continued building more settlers we'd have a lot more by now but that is pretty much how you win every early war in civ 6 or civilization 6. as always if you do enjoy leave a subscribe like comment all that good stuff let me know exactly what you guys enjoyed and what you didn't and on the screen now are going to be my favorite comments from the last video these did give a chuckle out of me and uh without further ado i'll see you on the next video peace you
