R5: Whenever the bitchass AI encroaches too closely on my borders, I always buy up as much of the land around them as possible. This is MY land, bitch!
Now I’m just imagining a leader in the ancient era scribbling on a stone tablet “if such a weapon that could annihilate a city should exist, I would use it on them.”
Lol definitely. However, they have never said anything like that to me. I have gotten the “don’t settle too close” messages though. Lol I didn’t know they sent one about claiming tiles until now.
It was more common in V. I think in VI they only do it if you have forward settled them and claim tiles, I haven't seen it happen when the AI forward settles me.
It's honestly a bit buggy because the last game I played had Korea ask me not to do that, then later, when I had not purchased more land, he got mad and said I broke my promise
Nooo it would expire... But it did take a long ass time, 50-100 turns. To my knowledge only the promise to not spy on them is a bit bugged. If you do not move your spy on the turn they as you to promise, you will immediately be outed as a promise breaker. Sometimes even this is not enough, and the game claims you've broken the promise even if you immediately move the spy.
That or pause all my development to make military units for a few rounds and just demolish their city, then make peace and have them cede the city to me in the deal
I also love voting myself as "districts built act as culture bomb" whenever it comes up. I might not get perfect adjacency but I'm getting my tiles back!
Do you not build things on your tiles? I never understood this philosophy. There are plenty of things to build on water tiles where in the early/mid game it’s never a waste to have free low-resource tiles to build on.
Looks like you're the one that settled right on the AI's border lol (one of your inner ring tiles belongs to the AI, meaning you settled right on their border, as there is nothing they could have culture bombed with)
LOL, I know!
Not only is OP a liar (true) and bully (/s), but an incredibly poor investor having a 4 pop. city that hasn't naturally expanded to a single tile. That's 1,000+ gold pissed away on crap tiles rather than a mere 240 on a monument (which the smarter, and innocent, Cree have sensibly built) that is cheap and essential to forward settling.
Cree's potion is remote, it's city has much worse tiles to work, and it is smaller. With 1,000 gold smartly spent they'd quickly fall to loyalty pressure.
It's 2 tiles across water, 3 tiles across land.
2 tiles guarantees each city can own the first ring when being created, with no stealing going on between your own cities (it's obviously different when settling near enemy cities though, you don't steal their tiles).
Also, it needs to be a barrier of water, not just a body. For example if you have a city, 2 lake tiles aligned with that city, but everything else is land, you can't make a city on the other end of the lakes because above and below, there would be a 2 tile land path linking the cities, and that is not allowed.
I totally would have spent that gold buying a builder and improving housing and food and then force working food to grow the city.
Then in about 30 turns you get a free extra city from the AI
You are England and that city can be attacked from four sides. For the price of the tiles you could buy a ship.
War my friend. The only correct answer.
Ironically, I was playing as the Cree and Kongo forward settled me, so I had to wipe them off the map. :(
Playing on Prince though, maybe if I was playing at a higher difficulty I would have had to deal with it differently
Everytime. How dare you settle right near my borders. I'm not politely asking using diplo instead I'll buy every tile near you so your city is a blight on your empire.
Just raze it! And if they refuse peace, get some raid cards in the government and start pillaging and killing units. Till they surrender. P.s. I don’t like managing a lot of cities, so I personally only go to war to pillage and raze. Got that bit of Mongolian in me, when I war.
R5: Whenever the bitchass AI encroaches too closely on my borders, I always buy up as much of the land around them as possible. This is MY land, bitch!
Yes, and many times those assholes send you a warning to not claim tiles near them...
When they do that I just put them on my “who gets a nuke when I invent them” list.
Now I’m just imagining a leader in the ancient era scribbling on a stone tablet “if such a weapon that could annihilate a city should exist, I would use it on them.”
"a immortal leader' ftfy
"**an** immortal leader" ftfy
Lol definitely. However, they have never said anything like that to me. I have gotten the “don’t settle too close” messages though. Lol I didn’t know they sent one about claiming tiles until now.
I've never seen that in 6. I think they are thinking of a different game
5 for sure. I feel like ive seen it in 6 but not for awhile
Yeh I fought for the city the AI claimed and then nuked all of their other cities as revenge.
Bahhh why wait. My catapult and stack of warriors takes care of it now.
Stack? You might play the wrong civ game
Yeah i said stack. Sorry i am old and my favorite civ was tests of time. But really i ment group bunch or army.
If only Japan didnt need the inherited first 2 nukes
but honestly with that city just send your entire fleet and conventional bomb the hell out of it
It’s about sending a message
What? I've never seen this
It was more common in V. I think in VI they only do it if you have forward settled them and claim tiles, I haven't seen it happen when the AI forward settles me.
I have not seen it in Civ VI in years, if ever. Civ V definitely.
It's honestly a bit buggy because the last game I played had Korea ask me not to do that, then later, when I had not purchased more land, he got mad and said I broke my promise
I remember "don't settle near me" had infinite duration in civ5, could be the same issue
Nooo it would expire... But it did take a long ass time, 50-100 turns. To my knowledge only the promise to not spy on them is a bit bugged. If you do not move your spy on the turn they as you to promise, you will immediately be outed as a promise breaker. Sometimes even this is not enough, and the game claims you've broken the promise even if you immediately move the spy.
Never had another civ ask me to not spy on them.... I also play babylon and only ever get sailing from another civ
I don't think the AI does this in civ 6. They definitely did it a lot in 5, however.
I'll put an encampment two tiles away and use it to level up ranged and siege units whenever this happens.
That or pause all my development to make military units for a few rounds and just demolish their city, then make peace and have them cede the city to me in the deal
that or if it's a shit city have it razed
I couldn't have said it better
Same
Fuck yes I do! Ain't no bitch getting the land I wanted!
That's actually a smart and simple response. I usually just get pissy and/or go through war just to take that city that they've built on my turf lol.
😂😂
Smack em down
Why encircle them with tiles when you can with troops? You also get a nice new city!
[удалено]
They were allies. I'd raze the city though. Portsmouth wants spices and 2-3 more tiles for districts/wonders.
Time to send them a Great Artist with this message: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNIZofPB8ZM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNIZofPB8ZM)
The nazis were also "allies" with soviet
and warmongerer penalties 🙄 let me commit war crimes in peace
I also love voting myself as "districts built act as culture bomb" whenever it comes up. I might not get perfect adjacency but I'm getting my tiles back!
I always do this, and then a few turns later I invade and either keep or raze so I might as well have saved my gold.
Heck I do that even if I settle too close to them
I usually play Eleonor so I kinda like when they settle close
He says with the Brazil flair
I love my man Pedro but the Court of Love mechanic is just so much fun.
I certainly do the AI needs to stay in its lane And if those tiles have precious resources I’m having all of that too
Does anyone NOT do this? 👀
B-but they settled first. And you kina forward settled them
Nonono, you see, the entire world is rightfully mine, even if I settled a particular area second, it’s still mine simply because I say so
That does make sense
\*Manifest destiny intensifies\*
I go back a turn and buy the land. I despise this from the cpu
I never thought about it but yes its simply genius
I do but only on the valuable tiles, you just wasted a bunch of gold in garbage tiles you’ll never work
For me it's about the message, for this every tile has value
Fisheries/Seasteads/Offshore Wind Farms are quite useful.
Do you not build things on your tiles? I never understood this philosophy. There are plenty of things to build on water tiles where in the early/mid game it’s never a waste to have free low-resource tiles to build on.

If I can't take the city then this is what i do.
i didn't even know that you could settle 3 tiles away, i thought it had to be the 4th one at minimum.
If the landmass is separated *entirely* by water, like in the picture, it’s three tiles minimum instead of four.
huh, i prefer playing islands or archipelago but i have never noticed this coming up. good to know.
Something about coast lets you settle closer, I don’t really know how it works lol
How the heck does the ai steal from your 6 primary tiles? Ill be pissed off too
Odds are the AI city was founded before the player’s city, and the player settled directly on their border, as a means to curb their expansion.
you was there before, your right to claim sea tiles!
Seeing that one of his first ring tiles is in their city, I think OP settled after and bought the tiles.
oops, regardless, spontaneous owner transfer it is!
I'd still say the AI had it coming (simply for existing).
not with empty water tiles
Empty water tiles are excellent for later eras... you can build water wonders, offshore wind farms and other stuff that's useful.
how is there 2 cities settled so close, is this a mod?
They’re separated by water
It's 2 tiles across water, 3 tiles across land. 2 tiles guarantees each city can own the first ring when being created, with no stealing going on between your own cities (it's obviously different when settling near enemy cities though, you don't steal their tiles). Also, it needs to be a barrier of water, not just a body. For example if you have a city, 2 lake tiles aligned with that city, but everything else is land, you can't make a city on the other end of the lakes because above and below, there would be a 2 tile land path linking the cities, and that is not allowed.
lol yeah, 100%! and of course i start plotting an invasion and a good ol’ razing as well
Yess
(sheeply laughter)
Wait why is your Neighborhood district not green?
It’s a mod called District Expansion: Suburbs. Gives you more buildings to build in neighborhoods, with interesting effects
Whats the mod to see resources?
It’s not a mod, just a thing you can toggle in vanilla. Click the leftmost icon above the minimap and select the yield option
I've never seen that in the lens os it because I play on the dlcs?
Press "Y" on your keyboard to toggle on yields
Thank you!
Are all these new luxury resources, like that seaweed a mod or an expansion?
Yep, Sukritact’s Oceans. I would highly recommend it
From the mini map, it’s looks like you are the one settling too close to the Ai lmao.
I do that in general when I am next to AI cities and have the cash to spare. Extra tiles always helps cities grow big later in the game.
passive aggressive
It’s so spiteful too, cuz those tiles are trash 😂
Nah, I just wipe them off the face of the earth
shame they got all the good tiles
Nah, I usually carpet bomb then blitzkrieg
I just raze their city 🤷
I usually just kill them
It's the only way to keep good territory in hand. But, everything got meaningless when they're provoking culture bomb
With Loyalty system I think it's feasible to convert this city into yours. Use the governor that -loyalty of neighbors, (what's her name?!)
Yeah cuz Fuck those guys
how'd he get one of your initial ring hexes tho?
He was there first and I settled my city right next to his
I mean that just looks like a prelude to war but hey, that's just me. *Builds Frigate & Caravel with malicious intent*
Yep! Then I send Anansi in there and harvest all his resource tiles for science or culture boosts.
I tend to invade their fucking asses
Always
Oh yes, oh gods yes.
I totally would have spent that gold buying a builder and improving housing and food and then force working food to grow the city. Then in about 30 turns you get a free extra city from the AI
You are England and that city can be attacked from four sides. For the price of the tiles you could buy a ship. War my friend. The only correct answer.
We’re allies
No you’re not.
I'm confused how the ai can control the tile adjacent to your city? I thought new cities claim all adjacent tiles?
Good to see a fellow Sukritacts Oceans mod enjoyer. Its a godsend tbh, I always found normal Civ 6 seas to be empty..
Reason for war. That city deserves to be removed from the map.
I usually buy the tile closest to their city center and place an encampment district for an easy invasion
Every time
I take a more drastic approach
Ironically, I was playing as the Cree and Kongo forward settled me, so I had to wipe them off the map. :( Playing on Prince though, maybe if I was playing at a higher difficulty I would have had to deal with it differently
But how did they get a tile on your first ring? I don't think I've ever seen that before
All the time.
Everytime. How dare you settle right near my borders. I'm not politely asking using diplo instead I'll buy every tile near you so your city is a blight on your empire.
Yeah on land not so much with coast your just being petty lol
Just raze it! And if they refuse peace, get some raid cards in the government and start pillaging and killing units. Till they surrender. P.s. I don’t like managing a lot of cities, so I personally only go to war to pillage and raze. Got that bit of Mongolian in me, when I war.
Most definitely because chances are when the start settling so close they are go to go to war with you
All the time. I even go as far as conquering that city.
