Civ VI Basics: How to Grow Your Population & Manage Housing

When you are new to playing Sid Meier's Civilization VI, one of the most essential things to understand is how to manage your population & housing. So, knowing how to grow your cities and ensure your citizens have a place to stay is one of the first steps in building an empire to stand the test of time. Whether you're going for science, culture, religion, diplomacy, or domination, your empire still needs the citizens to get the job done. Letting the population dwindle or run low on housing will lead to penalties, dragging your empire down and holding it back from its full potential. So maximize those food yields (don't forget production, of course!), and build those neighborhoods and granaries so they may eat, sleep, and live in the greatest empire the world has ever seen!

I love those vids about Basic mechanics in civ 6. Very good way to remind me how things work ❤
Also keep making those awesome videos 😁

[yeet]

Just found this channel and the video is amazing. Short and to the point. Well done!

[toprock]

Just found your stuff, the production quality is really impressive given the size of the channel. Keep it up dude 👍

ive seen alot of videos on civ and your answer all the questions I have that go unanswered thankyou!

[Moxyth]

Could you make a video about the religion mechanic? Coming back to the civ franchise from the third game has been somewhat confusing and your vids really help!

[jbeaver]

Straight forward. Well laid out. I learned things

[neilb]

[pierreproudhon]

YOOO I’m at the end of the video in the discord section

[dyllangt]

Could you do like a roadmap for a culture victory? Like explaining certain goals for this kind of victory and explain them aswell

[michaelsotomayor]

the game has changed a bit or I guess I haven't played in forever. So thanks!

[dxcoolio]

good video, is their a way to deal with cities you have captured that now say 0 growth but have more then enough food to create surplus food but still say Occupied: no growth. This is the problem i am having. be the first to cover the topic :) been searching for a vid but havent found 1.

So if ur on the limit eg 6 pop and 6 houses your production is slowed? Is that right?

Question: I am building a city on an artic coast, with no tiles that can be farmed. Suppose that it also has no access to fresh water or nearby mountains, so I can't build an aqueduct. The goal is to build a harbor, encampment, commercial, and industrial zones so that in the late game, another city working on a space race project can gain five production with a trade route to this city. To build all of these districts, I need to (at least temporarily) reach a population of 10 citizens. Suppose that I have no problem bringing in enough food through trade routes. How do I get enough housing? It looks like I would need twelve housing to grow my population to 10 in a reasonable amount of time.

I start with two housing, and I can add four more with a grainery and a sewer. If the first two districts I build are the harbor and encampment, then I can get two more housing with a lighthouse and barracks, reaching eight. Building city walls as a monarchy would get me to 10, but how do I get the last two? I don't want to have to count on getting a specific wonder, but is there anything else I am missing? I don't want to have to wait for neighborhoods to get this done. Are there any policy cards available earlier on the civics tree that would be helpful, or any other options I am missing?

Does housing on Ocen and river tiles stack, so for excample, do I get more housing if I settle an a river plus Ocean tile than on just a river?

hey man my friends insist on playing on online speed although i want to play domination and i wanted to ask if mongols are good in this situation? because the speed of the cavalry units after making the ordu is impressive what do u think? Ty
