In general, my production cycle has been Slinger, Scout, Slinger, Settler. If you immediately start building stuff, improving squares or start deploying settlers without any defense, it won’t take long for barbarians to find you and destroy the fledgling civilization you’ve put together. While sometimes the game starts pleasantly, with no barbarian interaction for several turns, other times, you’re encountering enemies early on. Each game of Civ 6 is completely new, throwing players in new territories and with different starting opponents or scenarios. As you go through the game, your victory strategy might change, but initially, you need to focus on one, so you can plan your research around that.Ĭiv 6 has a feature that shows you “recommended” units to purchase first, but generally speaking, my first production is always a slinger.
If you are planning to try to win via domination, Gilgamesh would be a better pick over Cleopatra. For example, Cleopatra comes with some great faith, culture and trade perks, while Frederick has excellent military and combat perks. Make sure to examine these carefully before starting the game so you can use those strengths to reach a victory in a specific area.

If domination is your victory goal, Gilgamesh comes with some sweet perks.
