Proper District placement in Civilization 6 is extremely important, as adjacency bonuses can have a huge impact on how much players benefit from their Districts. However, with so many different Districts in Civ 6, it can be hard to keep track of all of the relevant adjacency bonuses and building requirements. Fortunately, one industrious Civilization 6 fan has made a Districts cheat sheet, which will make it much easier for players to setup the best District layouts.
This Civilization 6 Districts cheat sheet comes from Reddit user anonxanemone, and it is up-to-date through the Gathering Storm expansion. As players will see, it is divided into two sections, with the top section indicating adjacency bonuses and the bottom highlighting any building restrictions, both of which are very useful in determining the best layouts for Districts in Civ 6.
One thing that is not made immediately clear by this Civ 6 Districts chart is that the Theater Square, Harbor, Commercial Hub, and Industrial Zone all receive +1 adjacency bonuses when next to two other Districts. This means that players should plan to build each of these Districts in triangular formations with two others in order to maximize their production.
For fans that need some help determining exactly how to employ the information provided by this Civilization 6 District cheat sheet, the first step is identifying a District that is of interest. For example, if a player is planning for their first Civ 6 District to be a Holy Site, they can find it on this cheat sheet and know that it is best to place it next to Natural Wonders, Mountain, and Wood tiles. They can also see that Campuses receive an adjacency bonus from Mountains, so perhaps it makes sense to place one of those next to a Holy Site that is along a Mountain range.
This would then give then the player two adjacent Districts, and they could now plan to add a Government Plaza to complete a triangle and boost the adjacency bonuses of both the Holy Site and Campus. Alternatively, they could complete the triangle with a Theater Square, Harbor, Commercial Hub, or Industrial Zone to give one of those Districts the additional adjacency bonus and go on from there. Indeed, planning in this way will help players arrive at the best District layouts in Civilization 6 based on the map that they are given.
Civilization 6Â is available for iOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
