Also in a 300 turn game that extra production means 300 extra production without considering bonuses or its snowball nature. Yes, that 1 extra production in your first city is very important as yields are very impactful early game and it will make the difference when competing for a wonder against the IA. This is 1 extra production when compared to Grassland. No, some tiles don't improve at all and others improve production instead of food.Īs you can see the best tiles to settle are Hills, offering 2 food and 2 production once settled. The city improves the tile by 1 food yield. Originally the tile (Hills) had 2 production and 1 food, after you settle it generates 2 food and 2 production.

Okay, so depending on the terrain you settle the city it gains yields or not, for exaple if you settle on a hill: Settle a city in Civ 6: Yields and resources mechanics Red: Too close to another city, river, lake and mountains. Grey: Tiles away from rivers, lakes or coast. Light green: Coast tiles without a river or lake. In Civilization VI water availability allows for higher population in a city, which in turns helps a city to have more citizens.ĭark Green: Access to fresh water (river and lakes) Settle a city in Civ 6: Water availabilityĮvery single civilization on earth started with a city and a river: Rome and the Tiber, Egypt and the Nile, Paris and the Seine and so on. This lense won't tell you anything about yields, very little about ubication (it will tell you not to settle too close to other cities) and everything about water availability, which is very important. If you're new to the game and don't really want to go in depth about settling yet, the easiest way is learning by using the Settler lense. Tiles are better or worse to settle depending on water availability, resources and yields.

If you are newer to Civilization VI or you are like me and just prefer seeing the yield icons, then click on "Show Yield Icons" in map preferences. Previous steps for newer players Click on "Show Yield Icons"Įxperts already know what yields have every type of hex.
