'Civilization VI' Cheats, Tips and Tricks, News: How To Win As a Pacifist in Strategy Game? More Secrets Revealed
ByPart of the fun for "Civilization VI" is being able to wage wars against city-states, deploying military strategies and tactics and ensuring a Domination victory. What players do not know is that it's also possible to conquer the world by being a pacifist--solidifying alliances with other states and utilizing diplomacy as an effective weapon.
Here's the pacifist guide to winning in "Civilization VI": tips and tricks to winning the game, strategies in playing the Pacifist, and more.
Killing off the barbarians
The first way to winning "Civilization VI" as a pacifist is turning off the Barbarians in the settings, according to Polygon. The barbarians are known for attacking and festering trade routes, and laying siege to cities and districts, among other things. These character features encourage players to strengthen their game's military setup right from the start.
To avoid this, "Civilization VI" players can turn the barbarians off, which minimizes game casualties and makes the path to peace much easier.
Keep an eye out for the Hidden Agenda
Another tip and trick to win in "Civilization VI" as a pacifist is to know about the Hidden Agenda of foreign embassies. According to PCGamesN, the Hidden Agenda is a randomized personality trait that, once known to the player, can be exploited to make leaders like or hate them. This is done by having traders, spies and diplomats on foreign lands and trade routes pass on pertinent information to you.
Set game on lower difficulties
The easiest possible tip and trick to win in "Civilization VI" without waging war is to set the difficulty level to medium and below. According to the Steam community, this is because the AI on the lower level are less aggressive and far less provoking than they would on a higher difficulty level.
Apparently, players would also have to avoid the Domination victory on "Civilization VI" to really nail the pacifist path, and go for science, religion and culture victories instead.
