How to Assign a Governor in Civilization 6

Governors are powerful units in Civilization 6 that can boost your cities’ productivity and provide various bonuses. Learning how to assign a governor is essential for progressing through the game. This guide walks you through the simple steps needed to unlock and assign your first governor.

Unlock a Governor Title Through Civics

Before you can assign a governor, you need to unlock a civic that grants a governor title. Open the civic tree by clicking on the top left of your screen.

Look through the available civics for one that includes a governor title. A good early example is the State Workforce civic, which grants a governor title once unlocked.

Once you unlock State Workforce or another civic with a governor title, you’ll be able to assign a governor to one of your cities.

Assign Your Governor

After unlocking a civic with a governor title, navigate to the governors panel. Click on the governors button located in the top left of your screen.

A menu will appear showing all available governor candidates. Review your options and select the governor you wish to assign.

After selecting your preferred governor, you’ll need to choose which city to assign them to. Click on the city you want, then click the Assign button to confirm.

Congratulations! You now have an active governor in one of your cities. Your governor will begin providing bonuses immediately.

Summary

Assigning a governor in Civilization 6 is straightforward: unlock a civic with a governor title, open the governors panel, select your candidate, choose a city, and confirm the assignment. With these simple steps, you’ll have your governor working to boost your civilization’s growth and prosperity.
