How To Create an Alliance in Civilization 6

Forming alliances with other civilizations in Civilization 6 is a crucial diplomatic strategy that can help secure your position in the game. This guide will walk you through the simple steps needed to establish an alliance with any leader, from initiating contact to formalizing the partnership.

Selecting Your Ally

To begin creating an alliance, start by clicking on the leader of the civilization you wish to ally with. You can access this from the top right of your screen. For example, you might select the Inca Empire to ally with them.

Understanding Relationship Status

Once you’ve clicked on a leader, you’ll see their statistics displayed on the left side of the screen. These stats include their government type, access level, and most importantly, your relationship status with them. Pay close attention to the relationship indicator, as you’ll need to raise it to “friendly” status before you can declare an alliance.

Raising Your Favorability

To increase your favorability with a potential ally, click on the heart icon. This will show you the various ways you can improve your relationship with that civilization. There are several methods you can employ to boost favorability:

Methods to Increase Favorability

Offer trade deals to the civilization

Establish trade routes between your cities and theirs

Satisfy one of their civilization agendas

Make diplomatic deals offering luxury resources

Trade strategy resources with them

Offer cities in exchange for favorability

Declaring Friendship

Once your favorability rating is sufficiently high, you’ll be able to declare friendship with the civilization. Simply initiate the friendship declaration through the diplomatic menu.

Finalizing the Alliance

If the leader accepts your friendship declaration, congratulations—you now have an official alliance! The alliance will provide mutual benefits and strengthen your diplomatic position in the game.

Summary

Creating an alliance in Civilization 6 is straightforward: select your desired ally leader, raise your relationship to “friendly” status through trade, trade routes, or resource exchanges, declare friendship, and await their acceptance. Once accepted, your alliance is complete and will provide strategic advantages throughout your game.
