  • Two new civs were recently added to Civilization 6, including the glorious Byzantium! The Byzantines are an exceptionally powerful nation, using religious conversion to boost an aggressive military playstyle. If played correctly, this might just be a top-tier civ and I'm looking forward to exploring its capabilities in Deity mode!

      I have heard them called a snowball civ. Which they kind of seem like. They have a bunch of stuff they want before they can start the cav printers. Their units get better the more you have, they get better if you convert the enemy, the more holy sites you conquer the stronger they get, and the more you conquer the more printers you can make. It seems like if your initial rush fails or you don't build it up in time things can go badly quickly.

    I’ve found the best early build order to be Slinger / Slinger / Settler (or) Builder / Monument in general. Obviously it changes in situations where you are far from any player you can put the second slinger on the back burner and go for the quick settler to settle a second city near your capital, if you have lots of culture you can avoid the monument, etc. The double slinger helps ward off potential invaders (they still will probably declare war but at least you’re not caught with your thumb up your butt), and once you unlock Archery you can upgrade your slingers (hopefully you’ve gotten the eureka by killing a unit w the slinger and upgrading the unit to Garrison, your city will be good). If you’ve been peaceful and exploring with your slingers then you may have found a governor title, and getting Magnus upgraded once you can begin the settler spam, extra points if you build the government plaza with 50% settler production and colonization policy card

    There's this mod (I forgot the name) that gives every civilization more unique units. I'd recommend you using it because I just feel like civilizations only having 1 or 2 unique units is really not fun because most of the time everyone would end up using the normal unit instead of the unique unit due to them using other type of unit that they don't have the unique unit (range, heavy cavalry...) Or their unique unit becomes outdated way too quickly.
    Also, I think you should've bought the rice tile and immediately improve it and work it because production may be king in the late game but food is the king in the early game.

    It was the first one I played with and the first one I won with.It has kind of the same type of deal as Australia going for it having increased yields in the tundra biome and that is even more soo exemplefied by the 2nd row of tiles that come when you expand as them too.And let's also not understate the fact that if allowed to you will always be caught up in technology or in most of my SP cases be even farther ahead than anyone else.
