4) One power plant if you want your fleet and armada production quickly. Works same for bombers but need aerodrome district.

Note that the venetian arsenal is only worth it after you produce 1800 production of ships before the 100% production bonus card. So thats 3600 production total value. Usually i try to build my ships relatively early and upgrade them troughout the game with gold. I wont be spending anywhere near 3600 production on ships early on ever. So the wonder only gets worth it in late game when you are producing extra ships to turn your upgraded ships into fleets. (and add carriers and submarines). I don't want to build venetian arsenal early when its value only comes in late game. If it so happens that building a coastal IZ fits my other plans, i will do it however, so that i may build the venetian in late game. The AI doesn't build it that often, so good chance it will still be available.

I love constructing Venetian Arsenal wonder

One quarry adjacent to the industrial zone provides +1 production, but two mines adjacent provide +2 production, so they aren’t exactly identical in effect.

Works fine for people who aren't playing with the expansions, though. I'm sure someone will eventually make a similar video for Gathering Storm.

And adjacency bonuses for Aqueducts, Canals, and Dams

@@TheSaxyGamer I can't believe that quality on this channel has dropped so low. I used to say to people 'you know who makes quality Civ videos on KZfaq, The Saxy Gamer that's who.' Now I don't think I could say that without laughing afterwards. You have disappointed me, your fan base a whole and most likely yourself. I recommend you post a 10 minute apology video and quit KZfaq in order to become a Tibetan monk to lead a life of reflection on your mistakes.

@@JackFroster At first I thought you were serious and I was gonna reply that the start of the leader spotlight series was filled with so many mistakes that there was rarely a video that I didn't make a mistake XD. But then I kept reading and chuckled a little. Guess I'll have to make a video that's 10:02 long titled "I MESSED UP!!!?!" with a funny face and big red arrow in the thumbnail and 9 minutes of advertisement and one minute of saying "I'm sorry you guys are offended". Maybe it would get added to KZfaq rewind 2018 too lol

Ruhr feels like something only worth building if you have a GE you can rush it with.

@@vicratlhead2228 That's fair enough, but Great People leave a lot of options open. James Watt makes all Factories yield +2 production, and that can be doubled with Mausoleum. It's effects like these that make me disregard great people, as the same could be applied to other categories (Newton for example). Not to mention, you're still using production to invest into more production: the only difference being that your up-front cost is reduced by a great person. Big Ben would be a much more worthwhile wonder to be using your engineer on.

@@vicratlhead2228 Imo the science victory is kind of a production victory, which is making Ruhr 100% worth it (for science). The +20% production are insane, especialy later when you start stacking your traders in 1 city for the projects (or maybe 2 citys, depending on the game). You shouldn´t forget that you also get +1 production for every mine (and quarry) in this city.

@@donvitogonzalle Yes, this is why I mentioned Ruhr's uses in banking production for space parts. In all honesty, it's hard to judge just how useful the bonus is, which is why I assumed a moderately healthy city receiving +20 production at the time of creation. That's like a 70 production city, with 6 mines/quarries being actively worked. In a game where there's extreme centralization, this bonus could easily scale up to 30 or even 40 extra production, which is where the upfront cost of Ruhr starts becoming more worthwhile (37 turns in best case scenario). The only reason I'd rate Ruhr as a poor overall wonder is just how straightforward it is. Investing production for more production may be profitable by the time you're building space parts, but that same production could be going into other pursuits. I mentioned Big Ben, but you could also still be building a navy by the time you reach Industrialization (Brazil in particular). With production policies in mind, the production you'd need for Ruhr is enough to build 9 frigates (w/o Venetian Arsenal) - easily enough to make your navy dominant. Even less efficient means of production can still yield results: that same production could be used to make 6 industrial era land units (including England/France/Russia's UUs), or just be invested into infrastructure and get both of your Industrial era buildings (excluding Factory) at half the cost of Ruhr. Sure, you can grow your cities to the point where you can build parts in under 10 turns. But you could also weaken your competition to the point where they can't compete over space parts in the first place. As a comparison, let's look at Ruhr's chad counterpart: Kilwa. Kilwa comes much earlier in the game, and still syncs nicely with its prerequisite tech providing lumber mills. While a bit more rng related, it's very possible that you can get a flat 15% bonus towards both infrastructure and units, and has a much more favorable cost of 710 production. With production policies in mind, this is worth 5 Knights (while making that same production worth 6 knights after constructing Kilwa). And this is all without considering just how multipurposed Kilwa can be - an easy suzerainship, and with % bonuses that apply globally. Who cares if it doesn't apply towards space parts, this wonder can easily make up for its cost (ironically enough, it's this same efficiency that can make Ruhr a viable wonder when put in combination).

Not too broken since it doesnt get bonuses from normal mines. If you plan it right any district can be abused really.

@@darkstorminc But you have to be surrounded by hills in order to get a nice adjacency bonus from mines, and that doesn't always happen if you don't set the World Age to *young*. On the other hand, you can plan where you're going to put your districts, which is much less rng-related. I also think that of all the Districts that can be abused, the Hansa is the strongest one, because Production (in)directly boosts basically every win condition, be it spamming troops, building wonders or launching rockets.

Thanks John, glad you like the content! And yes, I'm definitely going to be doing some Gathering Storm related stuff soon and even more when it releases!

yes

Yeah, I'll be doing leader spotlights for all the new leaders and probably redoing the ones for the leaders that will see big changes, like England. And yes, I just started my break from school so the videos will be uploaded on a much more consistent basis for the next few weeks!

Currently, I would advise against settling on the coast. Coastal settling is a bad idea because you get less housing compared to fresh water, worse yields because sea tiles are not as improvable compared to land tiles, and the city is more vulnerable to sea attacks. Also, there isn't a trading bonus to going across ocean tiles. This may change in Gathering Storm, as sea trade routes are going to be more beneficial, potentially making the coast more viable.

The Saxy Gamer aww great stuff - really appreciate that, also a wonderfully swift reply too, what service 🙌☺️ - i wonder if you’d consider ever doing a ‘my recommended mods’ video [forgive me if you already have; i have had a good look through your archive but may have missed that one too]? 🌟

Yes.

Yeah but if you get the workshop only to be able building the factory, doesnt make the workshop itself a good building. It is more of an obstacle than a building where you are happy when finished.

Unfortunately not, the sale ran from noon on the 17th to noon today (both in EST). I'll let you know when another one is scheduled though!

Unfortunately the sale on Civ VI ended yesterday at Noon EST, sorry.

I believe both are equal to 15% of the total production that it costs to do the project. Not too sure how it works since some provide gold per turn, but I believe that's how the great people points work.

Yes, you can check the maintenance cost in your city overview

Only Rise and Fall

I know, I was pleasantly surprised when I started working with Chrono because they actually have good deals and aren't a shady key seller haha

The issue with gold edition is that it's better to wait until after Gathering Storm for deals to come out. Right now you would still have to pay full price for it. I suppose its personal taste tho

@@chaseoliver3978 The real issue is you don't need to purchase DLC on steam. Purchase the original game, torrent the DLC + licenses. Save yourself $100. Per game.

@@harshhash7824 yeah I'm not a thief though. Not my style. It's wrong and a sin

Yes, the bonus disappears. On the other hand, if you build a mine after the industrial zone is already finished, the +1 production will be added. It´s the same with the campus district. The Campus district gets +1 science for every 2. rainforest tiles, but if you remove the rainforest later in the game, the bonus disappears.

Also for some reason yield changes don't always register on the turn you make the changes ie build/remove a mine. Itll show up in the mouse over on the next turn.

@@donvitogonzalle Thanks alot!

@@vicratlhead2228 Yeah Civ6 tends to do that on more occasions, like if you change your citizen slots, city-growth and production will not be adjusted (visually) until the next turn

@Adrain Acha is it an character you have to buy or is he One of the starting People?

CD Keys

it's not. the vid is old. play civ

No, it's global. The price is just in US Dollars.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that one, oops.

I play Teddy Roosevelt almost every game, which means this district is usually very important to me :( Would you ever consider doing Leader Spotlights, or similar reviews for leaders from the more popular mod-packs, like JFD's leaders? I've installed them, because I love history, but I am a huge noob at Civ so I have no idea how to evaluate/strategize with them, and it means I don't usually do very well with them :/

I also don't think anyone else on KZfaq has done individual Leader Spotlights for them, either, so it would at least be a draw for your channel, since anyone looking for them would end up here.

It may be due to the source of their keys. If their provider only provided US keys, then they couldn't sell them to international customers because I don't believe that they would activate on Steam. Not sure if that actually is the case, but that's my best guess.

@@TheSaxyGamer Probably has to do with piracy tbh
