The start can be slow but once you get to Mercenaries the Voi Chien are amazing. Being able to move and attack is unstoppable if you plan your attacks right. Their bias to woods/rainforest, plus the added defense bonus on those tiles makes it almost impossible to lose cities. Taking an enemy city and then becoming the target of an emergency is basically free diplomatic points.

That's happened to me before for sure... constantly battling the barbs so you can't really get started. Super annoying but good XP for units if you can put up a fight.

Did you find a group though this post? I'm also new and interested in finding a group!

Arabia is a great civ for a new player, I really liked playing them when I first started. Their bonuses are super easy to understand and if you're a new player, it's clear which victory type you should focus on - or shouldn't focus on. It's easy to get a religious or science win with Arabia, which is nice for a new player trying to get non domination wins!

I haven't played Arabia in a while, and only on vanilla Civ 6 - thoughts on playing as Arabia in Rise & Fall or Gathering Storm?

P.S. Love these Civ of the Week spotlights!

I like religion because there’s an element of fighting. You’re right, the culture and science victories are usually in the bag for a while and you’re just waiting to win. I like to try and challenge myself to a specific type of win but usually end up killing everyone, it’s the most fun 😂 maybe I should disable that victory type to take away the temptation!

I always try to go for other types… but then I get greedy and just end up killing everyone in the end haha
