Players will make a myriad of choices during a game of Civilization 6, many of which revolve around building Districts. As a game progresses, some fans may find that they are unhappy with the location that they have selected for one or more of their Districts, and this may leave those players wondering how they can go about removing them. It is with that in mind that this guide is being written, and fans will find details on District removal within.
To cut to the chase, it is simply not possible to remove or move a District in Civilization 6 after it has been placed. This means that players need to consider adding on to their empires very carefully, as building a District in Civ 6 is a permanent change to the map, and there are a couple of tools that fans can employ to assist with city planning. While these tools may not be useful to those players that are currently trying to remove a District, hopefully they will help in future games.
To start, a Civilization 6 District cheat sheet can be extremely helpful when trying to determine the absolute best tiles to build Districts on. This cheat sheet gives players easy access to the adjacency bonuses attached to each of the Districts and also highlights any pertinent building restrictions. Players will still need to spend time applying this information to their specific games, but it will make placing Districts optimally much simpler.
Additionally, fans are advised to use the Map Tacks that are found above the mini-map to mark tiles for Districts and Improvements before they build anything significant. This tool makes it very easy to keep track of a city plan that was devised using the aforementioned cheat sheet, and it will help players make sure that their Districts end up where they want. Of course, this does require a bit more city planning than some new Civilization 6 players will be used to, but it is something that is worth pursuing.
Again, it is understood that these recommendations will not help players that are just wanting to remove a District in Civilization 6, but they may be handy moving forward. Indeed, improving at Civ 6 is all about learning from mistakes, and an improperly-placed District is just one of many errors that players will have to face as they work to get better at this excellent strategy game.
