I knew you could place pins but I never used them for anything other than marking camps and potential settlement sites. Lol Now I know how useful they can be.

Theres also a "Detailed Map Tacks" mod that shows the adjacency bonuses on the tacks. Cuts city planning and guessing down to just a couple minutes for your whole empire

Agreed, learning to pin is a good thing to know! No wonder i always had problems with districts

Civ 6 on console still suffers with no pins 🥲

Was coming here to say this. I use it to try different combinations and placements. Keep in mind for things like industrial zones which get bonuses from mines, you can put down mine tacks and it'll even add those. Another quality of life the mod gives is keyboard shortcuts: Add tack - shift + A while hovering tile Delete tack - shift + D while hovering already placed tack Show/Hide Tacks - Shift + S If you are playing with mods this is a must get.

That’s why it’s good!

its weird but he has a more recent video just yelling the whole time.

Not everyone is on pc.. and that is straight up cheating... You should have the knowledge yourself and not have it generated for you.

@@hughmann9568 then don’t use it ? Lol.

@@hughmann9568 how is it cheating when it's information known to the player and the only thing it does is do the calculation for you to help you visualize what you'll actually get? I bet you're the same kind of donkey who says "display yields in hud ribbon" is cheating

@@hughmann9568 pc master race 😎

@Hugh Mann It's not cheating if it doesn't give you any info not already available to you. If it optimized district placement for you, that might be another convo. Even then, if you already know how to optimize, and it's not performing any calc you already don't know how to do, then it's still not "cheating."

I was confused with districts at first until I watched this video, if that makes sense

I mean, my second game I won with culture and I had no idea how. Then I realised with the research you can actually plan your tree out so you can look what you want to aim for.. I was slapping shit down with no thought at all.

I'm still slapping them down wherever has most points.. civ 5 was the best in my opinion wish they had more expansions for that

Glad to hear! I hope the video was helpful for you 👌

I’m glad you found it helpful! Keep on grinding. Even playing at the highest difficulty and after thousands of hours I’m always learning something new. I hope you enjoy the game and can keep on improving 🎉

Glad you enjoyed the video! This video was one of my first tutorials and there's always lots to work on. I think my more recent tutorials have improved quite a bit, including getting rid of the barrage of "if that makes sense"

Thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed the video

No worries man!!

Interesting! I’ve used a pop filter before and never noticed a difference in the end audio quality. At the time Twitch said it wasn’t making a different either when we played around with it. I have another look at it though and see if I can make the audio better 👌

Districts CAN interact with each other from different cities and it’s a very very effective strategy. One dam can help multiple IZ’s, One entertainment complex helps multiple theatre squares etc... It also works the same with Wonders. One wonder can help multiple theatre squares etc..

@@VanBradley That's amazing, they've come a long way from spamming mines in Civ III and cottages in Civ IV, I'm only just starting off having bought all the extras during the recent Steam sale so gonna be a while before I get a hang of all these new mechanics.

It even works for cities of another civ. If your neighbor built an entertainment complex on the border, you can mooch off it with your theater square. I just had that yesterday (the neighbor was a city state though)

Cheers, Glad you're enjoying the videos!

This is becoming such a meme, I promise it gets better 😂

Yes it does! You’ll get an extra +1 production 🎉

IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!!! THANK YOU!!

No worries! Anytime

The policy cards that give +100% adjacency bonuses are much better when you've been able to acquire much better adjacency bonuses on that type of building. If you've built a few great campuses with +3 or +4 adjacency bonuses, but you have just one holy site and it's only a +1, then it's clear which of the two policy cards is better. The +100% holy site adjacency card doubles the faith boost of your holy sites, it won't affect the tile yields next to the holy site. But it will turn a +3 holy site into a +6 holy site. If you combine Work Ethic with Scripture, you get one of the most insane combos in the game. And if you add one of the three pantheons that gives holy sites an adjacency bonus for Rainforest, Tundra, or Desert on top of Work Ethic and Scripture, you'll get some of the most insane holy sites in the game. You can get a +16 faith +16 production Holy Site pretty early in the game if you choose the right pantheon, place your Holy Site properly, and combine Work Ethic with Scripture. When you're exploring the nearby terrain at the start of the game, it will give you an idea of what type of victory path you want to take. If you see reefs and geothermal fissures, a science game while taking advantage of the +100% campus adjacency bonuses is a good strategy. If you see a natural wonder or two nearby that you can settle next to, the +100% holy site adjacency bonus policy could be great. If you see a lot of mountains, that makes both Holy Sites and Campuses great options. Rainforests and forests give minor adjacency bonuses to Campuses and Holy Sites respectively, but I tend to not worry too much about the minor adjacency bonuses. The only minor adjacency bonus that I really think about is the adjacency bonus for placing districts next to each other. If you see a lot of rivers nearby, the +100% commercial hub adjacency bonuses could be good. If you see a few different rivers with flood plains where you can build dams and aqueducts the +100% industrial zone adjacency bonuses could be good. Going for exploiting the +100% theater square adjacency bonus card is hard because that doesn't really care about terrain too much. It cares about having built wonders and entertainment districts (and water parks). That's especially complex because you'll want to plan out which wonders you'll build on each tile because most wonders have pretty specific tile requirements. It's a more advanced strategy that you should try out later on.

You should be building districts and trading for luxury resources if you are amenity capped. I hardly build farms but I also tend to play coastal styles with harbors and commerce hubs.

Hmmm.... interesting! You only get the Era Score if it’s the first +3 of that district (commercial hub, campus etc...) but I’m not actually sure if you get the era score for the first +3 district if it was upgraded! I’m going to test this out and get back to you 👌

That was so funny 😂 the livestream is a wild time

I haven’t no. It’s on my list to do as soon as the faith victory series is up this week 👌

Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do. If you get the district down and the resource pops up later it will accumulate it for you even if there’s a district on top of it. Once you can actually see the resource though, there’s no way to get rid of it. You’ll see strategies sometimes where people will avoid revealing iron or niter etc... until they’ve placed there good districts just to make sure they get them down.
