CIV 6 Leader How To Win With Gandhi True Location on Earth | Mac's Gaming

Rumor has it, Gandhi loves nuking other civilizations. The thing is, Gandhi believed in something called Satyagraha. So, it’s sort of ironic when in the game, he approved the idea of nuclear weaponry. In fact, even when against powerful AI civilizations such as Germany & England, Gandhi still has a higher chance to use Nuke. How do I know that? I’ve been playing the game for almost 3 weeks now and have tried multiple moves. In the end, all that road leads to “happy nukes”.

The game configuration

In this game, I am playing with “prince” difficulty and using the true location on earth. I am playing against AI from 7 different civilizations. Each civilization possesses its own challenge but there’s a catch, Gandhi is actually a nice civilization to start. The place is only surrounded by city-states and they are less likely to attack until the game advances. So, it is one of the perks of choosing Gandhi as the leader in this game configuration.

Best Opening For Gandhi

Another perk is that if you choose Gandhi as your leader, in this configuration, the starting place is a piece of land with plentiful resources. It has silk, mine areas, as well as fertile land suitable for housing within 5 tiles. There are also a few early-in-game resources that can be found in the continent. If you choose to play as Gandhi, the first few steps are also focusing on the exploration.

• scout
• slinger
• builder
• settler

Then, another hack would be moving to the right side where the Hong Kong city states are located because that would give extra advantage since sending diplomats to hongkong would give extra production outputs.

What to research?

After configuring your unit another part would be configuring your research. There are some ways to do that but make sure you read properly each of the research and how it will unlock a certain building or unit. Some research can be done later on, for example playing as Gandhi, it is best to ignore any naval unit and focus on the cavalry unit. They travel fast and Gandhi is also known to have the advantage of a unit called varu, which is a spearman sitting on top of an elephant. As you progress towards the game, and into the industrialization era, it is best to ignore ancient units and replace them with newer ones.

What victory to aim for?

While playing as Gandhi is known for its religious leaning victory, depending on how the opening would be, the research and the buildings that you might build, you can also aim for another victory. However, if Germany is on the map, it is almost impossible to win science victory. Therefore, it is best to focus on either religion, domination or cultural victory. For example, in this game, I won over cultural victory rather than the other victory types.

What other tips do you have?

Another tip that I have is if you’re still new to playing this, make sure to hover over the city and click the round button showing every production that the city makes. Make sure to optimize as needed and that also speeds up the advancement of the city.

My personal choice when playing gandhi is choosing border expansion and also religion that can produce gold along the way.

I would also sparsely buy traders unless needed. But if you have way too much money to spend, you can buy a trader to make even more money.

I would also not be perfectionist with the game. I think it is best to just play along but again, if I wasn’t playing it for 3 weeks, starting and restarting, I would not have these conclusions.

Anyway, that’s all for today.See you in the coming weeks with a new set of civ 6 leaders!
