Summary
In a playthrough ofCivilization 6, players often have their own preferences and strategies to win the game, even the AI players, as they have their own pre-defined personalities and traits to match the human opponents. At times, these strategies will involve building certainWorld Wonders, which are exclusive to one player per game only, making it a very competitive building to have.
Some of these World Wonders can be very beneficial for players who are looking to win a game with Domination Victory; or in other words,warmongers. Each of these World Wonders is beneficial in its own way, such as increasing military strength, or even multiplying bonuses from City-States to help the war effort go smoothly.
7Alhambra
Gain A Precious Military Policy Slot And Faster Great General Acquisition
Aspiring wamongers inCivilization 6will learn to value several resources and features in the game highly because of how they make their conquests successful, such as Military Policies and thepowerful Great Generals. By building theAlhambra, two of those resources can be expanded and used more efficiently due to the World Wonder’s bonuses.
The bonus Military policy slot can be a game-changer, as policies in that field often contain bonuses that enable a civilization to gain victory over superior civilizations with the appropriate strategy. Moreover, the added Amenities will help warmongers avoid war exhaustion, which comes as a penalty to civilizations that repeatedly seek war.
6Venetian Arsenal
Quickly Expand Naval Fleets With A Simple World Wonder
In a game with a map type that is covered by more than 50% water, such as Archipelago and Continents, Naval Warfare becomes much more prominent during all stages of the game. Wrestling control over the seas will be a game-defining moment for some players, especially the ones that haveunique Naval unitswhich are powerful enough to win the whole game on their own.
The powerfulVenetian Arsenalwill allow warmongers to wrest control of the ocean quickly, as it allows their cities to produce a second naval unit each time they produce one. When combined with a powerful unique Naval Unit, a warmonger can easily gain ocean superiority and begin their pursuit of a Domination Victory.
5Forbidden City
Versatile Wildcard Policy To Gain Advantage Over Other Civilizations
A good player ofCivilization 6will know how precious policy card slots are, as they can single-handedly make a strategy viable due to their bonuses, which are balanced by the limited number of slots a civilization can have throughout the game. Wildcard Policy slots are known to be quite powerful due to their ability to house Wildcard Policy cards, as well as every other type of Policy cards, andForbidden Cityis able to expand these slots by one.
This bonus will allow warmongers to use the extra Wildcard Policy slot to their advantage not only in wartime, but also during peacetime when they arebuilding up their armies and economiesto sustain a prolonged war effort. However, in a multiplayer game, players can expect to compete fiercely for this World Wonder due to its flexibility.
4Statue Of Zeus
Early Boost Towards Military Strength To Rush Domination Victory
Early conquests can be tricky for some players, even for those withwarmonger-specialized Leadersand Civilizations, due to the fact that other players will quickly be alerted by any attempt to win an early Domination Victory. However, building theStatue of Zeuscan boost the warmonger’s chances due to its bonuses.
For starters, upon completion of this World Wonder, the civilization building it instantly gains 3 Spearmen and Archers, and a Battering Ram. This combination of bonus units can already enable a player to conquer another civilization easily during the early stages of the game. Moreover, the added anti-cavalry unit production bonuses will allow them to rapidly produce anti-cavalry units.
3Kilwa Kiswani
Max Out City-State Bonuses For Conquest Against The World
City-States are crucial for every player in a game ofCivilization 6due to the bonuses they grant when becoming a Suzerain over them, even warmongers, who might prefer to simply conquer the nearest City-States they are neighbors with. By buildingKilwa Kiswani, becoming a Suzerain towards City-States that areuseful to warmongerswill become more crucial than ever, since their bonuses will be multiplied.
Kilwa Kiswani will grant huge bonus yield multipliers when the player building the World Wonder becomes the Suzerain of one or more City-State. For example, becoming a Suzerain of an Industrial City-State will grant the city housing the Wonder a further +15% Production bonus. The bonus will become 30% for the city and 15% for all other cities if they manage to become Suzerain of two or more Industrial City-States.
2Temple Of Artemis
Handle Warmonger Penalties Easily Without Hindering War Efforts
Becoming a warmonger can be tough on a civilization’s progress and growth due to the focus on military buildup, which can also damage a civilization’s economy rather quickly with many units eating into resources. Moreover, they will also gain Warmonger Penalties that can halt a war campaign when not addressed quickly.
Temple of Artemiscan solve these problems by granting various bonuses, such as Food and Housing bonuses for boostingthe city’s growth. Moreover, the World Wonder will grant amenities for every Camp, Pasture, and Plantation near it, making the “unhappiness due to constant warmongering against other civilizations” problem solve itself quickly.
1Terracotta Army
The Ultimate, Must-Have World Wonder For Every Warmonger
Every seasoned veteran ofCivilization 6who prefers to play the game with a peaceful strategy will be rightly alarmed when they see their warmongering neighbor successfully build theTerracotta Army. That fear will be intensified once they find out that the warmongering civilization building this World Wonder already has a huge army ready for an invasion, since the World Wonder will be able to double their army’s strength instantly.
The army strengthening occurs due to the Terracotta Army’s bonus that grants Promotion to every unit of the civilization’s army, increasing its strength instantly. This will instantly make an alreadypowerful unique Land uniteven more powerful, virtually guaranteeing a successful war campaign. Moreover, the bonus Great General points will also ensure the steady flow of Great Generals to aid any invasion against even a well-defended civilization.
