How To Declare War in Civilization 6

Declaring war is a fundamental mechanic in Civilization 6 that allows you to engage in military conflict with other civilizations. Whether you’re pursuing a domination victory or defending your empire, understanding how to declare war is essential. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the two main methods available to initiate warfare in Civ 6.

Method 1: Direct Unit Confrontation

The first and most straightforward way to declare war is through direct military engagement. Simply move one of your units adjacent to or into contact with another civilization’s unit. Once your unit encounters an enemy unit, you’ll be presented with the option to declare war immediately.

Method 2: Diplomatic Declaration via Envoy

The second method involves using diplomacy to formally declare war. To do this, click on the country or kingdom you wish to declare war against. On the right side of the diplomatic interface, you’ll see an envoy option. From there, you can select the option to declare war.

Summary

Declaring war in Civilization 6 is simple and can be accomplished in two ways: by moving your units into contact with enemy forces for an immediate confrontation, or by using the diplomatic interface to formally declare war through your envoys. Both methods are equally effective depending on your situation and playstyle. Now you’re ready to engage in warfare and pursue your civilization’s strategic goals.
