How to win religious in civ6:
1) Be better at game than anyone in the lobby
2) Decide to win religious

[magmastorm]

this is a fascinating strategy that I have 0 belief I could replicate, even on a god-spawn. Cool to finally see a religious victory though

how to win a religious victor in civ 6:
1.- Domination

Making it in your opponents' best interest to not declare war on you by Suzing all the city states, so they would rather let you convert them than lose the extra district yields, is legitimately genius diplomacy and almost reminds me of how some real-world politics happens lol

here is a nice little trick: all of the apostel promotions are stored in a list. if you pick one out of the list via promotion - it wont come back until you picked every promotion out of this list (this is the reason why you never get the nice promotions ever again if you picked them early). So you can just take all the trash promotions first and literally every apostel after this will be created with only strong promotions (just dont pick them and buy more strong apostels)

What a fascinating strategy. Never has multiplayer looked less like single player!

just a day ago general chat was talking about religious gooning and now this

12:45 just make sure you are about to win a scince victory so second place has to go to war

I always thought religious victory was logically infeasible, but you've shown it is instead niche and possible! That's pretty exciting! Thank you

I really think passive conversion needs a buff in BBG. It would be more fun, anyway, and make religious victory a more viable Strategy

Wouldn't canada be a fairly decent civ for this strategy? Canada is immune to surprise wars, forcing civs to denounce you first and wait 5 turns which gives you time to overwhelm them before declaring war and condemning your units will have any impact. Canada has more bonuses for religion than that as well due to the fact that the tundra can give really strong holy sites thanks to the aurora pantheon, allowing you to afford a fairly large number of apostles and missionaries. If the other players fail to catch on quickly and denounce you well in advance you can kinda just roll over the other religious civs if you convert them before they're able to start an inquisition, the only other real way to stop you other than declaring war, and doing so will give you an easier time to convert the other civs later due to the lack of competition. And because Candada ON PAPER has no real bonuses for religious play it's a very sneaky pick because out of all the players in the server they suspect could send an army of missionaries and apostles their way canada is definitely near the bottom of that list.

I really like that you try to help witu bbg context, so people like me who play without for whatever reason, can still learn useful things

I once won a religious victory by losing most of my cities in a small friends lobby, was pretty funny.

They definitely need to buff religious victories. People complain it’s not fun but that’s only when people aren’t contesting it. When they do, it quickly turns into a domination-lite victory where instead of killing everyone (which is impossible in the short game time) you only kill a few. But you still have to interact with everyone, apply strategy for who and how to convert, and put a good bit of investment that allows others to counter play by investing more into military.

One idea would be to remove the pressure loss from condemning heretics. Would make declaring war not an immediate no win situation.

Most religious victories I've seen have been highly dependent on converting players through their military actions. Also helps that religious civ players tend to be militarily weaker and can be easily eliminated with tanks.

Buff religious victory. This seems like legit fun.

[joshualee]

in the coming days we will truly see if this a viable strat, as now that people know how it works, they'll 1. take it more seriously, and 2. know how to play against it better. And if it falls off it will always remains as a surprise factor strat.

Yo Hersonwould u ever think about doing a vid about gold ? I find myself either vastly wasting it after first trader buy or hording it

[namenotloading]

Religion? I call them Diseases and roleplay as Nurgle when going for a Religious victory.
