Thanks to its recent promotion offering itself for free on the Epic Games Store, Civilization 6 has gained many new players from all around the world. However, many of these new players are unsure about what's the best way to conquer the globe as well as the easiest way to do it.

Civilization 6 offers five different possible victory conditions in the vanilla game. These are:

  • Science
  • Culture
  • Domination
  • Religion
  • Score

A sixth victory condition was added in the Gathering Storm Expansion known as Diplomacy. It is only easy to pull off if players are playing on teams.

Easiest Victory for New Players

The easiest victory condition to achieve for newer players and those playing on an easier difficulty setting is the Science Victory. Players can get the Science Victory in the vanilla game or with the Rise and Fall expansion by fulfilling three major scientific milestones. These are:

  • Launching a Satellite
  • Landing a Human on the Moon
  • Establishing a Martian Colony

If players are playing using the Gathering Storm Expansion, the scientific milestones to complete are:

  • Establishing a Martian Colony
  • Launching an Exoplanet Expedition
  • Reaching the Exoplanet

Each and every one of these projects are available through Spaceport districts. Players should focus on optimizing as much production as possible so that they can put their resources toward developing their nation's science. Using leaders that specialize in production really helps with getting this victory as well.

Easiest Victory for Experienced Players

The easiest victory to get as an experienced player or while playing against experienced players in Civ 6 is the Domination Victory. This victory is achieved by conquering the original capital city of every other civilization in the world.

By focusing resources on a strong military, players can take advantage of other conflicts and use the right Casus Belli to take over the world over the years. However, players need to be careful to not get into war too often, as this can negatively affect citizen happiness. Building entertainment complexes and gaining luxury resources can help satiate citizen happiness and prevent spawning barbarians from the inside of players' countries.

Keeping up this balance with some practice can allow players to truly dominate the world and make them the most fearsome leader world-wide.

Civilization 6 is available for iOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
