prepare for war in sid meier's

civilization six were becomes more

consequential overtime and can affect

the way other sibs you and trust you

when you go to war

you're going to want to avoid a long

drawn-out conflict the warmonger penalty

affects not only how other cities view

you and how willing they will be to

cooperate with or oppose you

but also the happiness in your own

cities in the ancient era you will not

gain warmonger penalties but as the ages

progress going to work becomes more and

more frowned upon by other nations

declaring a surprise war may be an

effective way to get the jump on your

opponent but don't be surprised when no

other nation in the world will trust you

sometimes a sieve just won't like you

maybe your agenda conflicts with theirs

or maybe they're just aggressive when

another nations accusations or posturing

becomes too much for you to tolerate

denouncing them is a formal way of

declaring to the world that they're in

your sights after 5 turns you may

declare a formal war eventually you'll

unlock casa spell I like liberation or

colonial work which reduce warmonger

penalties but require certain criteria

to invoke Wars also cause war weariness

which reduces amenities in your cities

killing units in foreign territory

fighting wars without just cause or

dropping WMDs add the war weariness to

your city this negative effects can

cause your cities to work less

efficiently or at work

make your citizens result against you

and spawn partisan barbarians to pillage

your tiles managing war weariness and

warmonger penalties should be part of

your strategy when you do go to work a

capture city is a valuable spoil of war

if you raise the city you'll destroy it

but the rest of the world will be

shocked and you'll gain extra warmonger

penalties

you can occupy a city and claim it as

your own but the city won't be at its

full potential until the war ends you

can also liberate a city if it belonged

to someone else originally and also

gained a huge diplomatic bonus for your

generosity

once the war is over you can settle

diplomatic Lee returning the city you

captured to an opponent as part of a

peace deal might get you some golden

resources keeping a captured city will

make the original owner upset with you

are going to want their city back an

opponent that feels you're significantly

stronger than them will offer more

generous terms than one who thinks they

can still fight back or who just ate

fielding in war war mongering and war

weariness both DK slowly over time so

even the most aggressive players early

on can be forgiven later on in the game

but if you want to win by a domination

victory you probably aren't going to

worry about any effects to your

opponent's capitals hard with speed and

ranged weapon village their districts

with your bombers and if that doesn't

work you have some more dangerous option

after completing the manhattan project

you'll be able to build nuclear weapons

which are counted as resources and can

be used by bombers nuclear sub and

missile silos built by your military

engineers they destroy anything and

everything in a one tile radius of their

targets

if that's not enough destruction you can

always research nuclear fusion which

will allow you to make thermonuclear

devices after completing the operation

ivy project take out a 2 tile radio but

using these powerful weapons will not

only make the world unite against you

they're likely to make your own citizens

deeply unhappy as well whether necessary

evil for a means to victory go to are
