This District COMBO Will Change How You Play Russia in Civ 6

#civilization6 #civ6 #whiteandnerdytv

Have you ever played Russia in Sid Meier's Civilization VI and thought, yeah I think he needs to be stronger. Well in this video we found a district combination that completely nullifies Russia's biggest weakness while keeping all of his strengths. And it's with my favorite district in the game, the preserve. Set the map to "Wet" settings for best results.

I like to go Feed the world with Peter to avoid the food problem. If you combine that with Hermetic Order, you can get super cities and still have lots of production because of your population. Ley lines will always spawn heavily in Tundra, so your Lavras can potentially get to +10 or better combined with aurora pantheon

I tried my first game at diety difficulty recently. I did the Holy site and grove as the first 2 districts in every city almost. It worked great! Easy to put national parks everywhere for amenities

You're an F-ing genius. I love playing Peter but the lack of food was always frustrating. Using the breathtaking tundra tiles with preserves is actually genius. Great video homie, insta subbed.

This was so much fun to Watch. Please continue this game soon

i enjoy ur commentary but especially the personality. keep making cool vids

The other good way to get some food early on is to put Magnus in the capital with surplus logistics promotion and he will give an extra 2 food on domestic trade routes. Then your second district in every city can be a commercial hub and you can trade for your food.

That is what happened recently on my first Deity Win with Russia. I had a total of 30 cities, all of them with a load of production thanks to Lavras, but all of them had a maximum of 5 populace, the only one who made the difference was Saint Petersburg with 14 populace. All because I rushed Temple of Artemis and with Tundra tiles, a lot of Deers and Leather for the encamptments.

I usually compared it with Canada, because the ability to make farms on tundra is extremely important to fight this issue. I may not have the amount of great people generation Russia does, but I find it a very good contender for a first time Deity. Another reason: the ability to not be declared surprise wars, making the AI give even more information beforehand.

I am definitely trying this strat. Seven seas maps are my favorite map type btw, so its nice to see it get some love.

Awesome vid! Another civ that I like with perserves is Canada. Using Mounties to build nat'l parks on top is just amazing. Not as powerful as Russia, but still good.

[johnbrandimore]

I have definitely under utilized preserves in my games. I definitely want to check this out.

1st time here, and instantly subbed the channel, i loved this video!

[trumpet-titan]

First video made by you that I watch and by how enjoyable it was to watch the Subscribe Pantheon will be my pantheon of choice today

[joelpierce]

I love doing Russia with preserves, although it always annoys me when I unlock coal/oil and can't take advantage of them without ruining my appeal!

0:21 TFW the Diplo Victory gets so disrespected that you use the Score Victory icon. 😢

My mate plays Russia all the time and I end up trading him wisselbanken to get to 7 pop. Every time, every time, I tell him put a preserve per 2-3 cities, its 8-12 food to share.

[Vindikatorz]

This is exactly my optimal russia gameplay lol.
Pick russia - settle - literally pray for the aurora- choose aurora - work for religion - work ethic - toa - preserve - win

Its that simple. Tbh, i hate russia for the fact that doing things this way would guarantee you a win by renaissance or industrial era (sometimes even by medieval). Its just that good. And the fact that i always play hermetic order makes it worse, because its so damn hard to get to the atomic era to witness those glorious resource tiles. I know that feed the world would provide more balanced gameplay, but it just doesnt sit right with me to choose a subpar option as a minmaxer.

I always love to play Peter with Civilization Expanded mod, totally fun to play cause you can work a mountain with that mod.

[zzyxx]

how do you have the adjacency bonuses showing up when you plan out districts is it a mod?
