Monumentality Settler Spam Strategy GUARENTEES Wins On Civ 6 Deity! Arabia Led By Saladin

In this civ 6 reddit deity guide/video we are going to be going for a science victory as Saladin of Arabia. Saladin and Arabia are already great civs on civ 6 deity but this secret strategy guide I have (with settings) will let you win deity EVERY time on civ 6. You don't need Saladin or Arabia but having them does make this Pangea game a lot easier

My first deity and emperor win was with Arabia (they have a special place in my heart)

Early Golden Age: One thing I picked up as an extension from you is using Amani, but I keep on moving her to keep getting 2 era score for first suzerain. I also generally appoint Pingala first and get his culture promotion first bc it leads to more governor titles and sooner Political Philosophy. Also, getting a few points for getting later era techs and civics can help (ie when you get horsemanship or currency)- and this is made easier by eureka hunting. Buying a boat or levying a military can be the difference between a golden age or normal age

Sustained Golden Ages: Making sure to use resources for a unit, even if not going for domination. Making a horseman or upgrading to a swordsman gets you era score (more if youre first)- same for niter, coal (like an ironclad) and oil. Build your unique units and unique buildings. Make sure to get a splendid district of a new type.

Many clever tips here, but the thing you seem to never do, is getting boosts. Especially in the early game they are super useful with the science inspiration instead of monumentality. In the meantime you can save up for monumentality an era later and then spam settlers. Also, choosing religious colonization is ideal for this particular play. All cities start with your religion.

[chinesememer]

Going for first religion as arabia seems like a waste, AI always pick worship building and follower belief first.

The first 3 follower beliefs to be picked are always: feed the world, choral music, warrior monk. You could found that religion 80 turns into the game and still got that 2 beliefs.

Wow thanks for doing an Arabia series so fast!

[asterisks]

I've never seen you play on the random tech/civics trees - i'd be interested to see your strategies for that.

[Lopsinho]

The amani world tour would give you 2-8 era score almost guaranteeing the golden age

In my games I see the tendency that horseman and galley barb clans usually spam the most units. While former are pain in the ass, latter arr easily ignored, unless you settle coastal cities. Getting your 10 defence city rushed by 3 barb biremes is not fun(

[lashisrad]

I guess because I lean towards more cultural games on large to huge maps. I religiously have my starting build order. 2 scouts 1 slinger 1 worker and 2 more slingers. But as you saw in your video, hitting those early tribal villages are clutch.

[fahrettinuysal]

And you're 100% right ignoring scouts, they're pure garbage. Slingers or warriors are 1000 times more useful. Especially if your map isn't a pangea. On large pangeas scouts might be ok. But it's the only time they'll be useful tbh. They're normally only useful for Civs with unique recon units so they can have ambush on them.

[fahrettinuysal]

Man, Babylon converted your capital :/ That's why I was suggesting that you should ignore religion completely till all your cities have holysites. That way you get to focus on your science game earlier and get your religion spread instantaneously. Then you can buy worship buildings for practically free to boost science significantly. With an era early unlocked universities, science from worship buildings and guaranteed religion Arabia screams don't focus on religion, use it to further bolster your science game.

[fahrettinuysal]

I think you should have picked Wat instead of cross-cultural dialogue as AI always picks follower belief and worship belief first. Cross-cultural was imo a bad pick because 1. AI picks founder beliefs later 2. AI hates cross cultural 3. AI loves Wat 4. AI picks them earlier

[jarlGudmunder]

You will never lose if you do this with Russia.

I still do not understand why you don't use the settler lense when planning city locations.

[bogdanmoskaliuk]

I usually make -1 civ +2 city-states on any map size (tbh play only large and huge). Still yesterday spawned as Dido within 10 tiles of Bogota. Rip

[trentgrady]

Was this the first he had played Arabia

[FARBerserker]

should have gone for religious settlements or whatever it is called. with that settler spam you would have auto converted most of the map to your religion.
it is also a great defence against your own cities getting turned, because cities grow very fast in the beginning and the more pop is in a city, the harder it is to turn.

[dennisriddle]

For 1st era golden age: play Kupe and its guaranteed. ;)

[cakdwik]

This strategy only work with russia, for me 😂
