It is unlikely that you will fight anything but [[Barbarian (Civ6)|Barbarians]] in this era - there are simply too many of them, and too few of you to attempt to fight another civilization. And you don't want a Barbarian unit wrecking your lands and capturing your [[Builder (Civ6)|Builders]] while you're off fighting a losing battle against another civilization!

The Ancient Era is the first era in Civilization VI and represents the beginning of human civilization. It is followed by the Classical Era.

Intro[]

From the first stirrings of life beneath water... to the great beasts of the Stone Age... to man taking his first upright steps, you have come far. Now begins your greatest quest: from this early cradle of civilization on towards the stars.

Game Info[]

This is the beginning period for each civilization when it acquires the basic technologies and tools to control its surroundings. You will establish your Capital Capital, explore the lands around you, and begin to build improvements and districts on your first patch of land. If you aim at quick expansion, you will probably establish 1 or 2 more cities before progressing. You should also attempt to establish a Pantheon.

It is unlikely that you will fight anything but Barbarians in this era - there are simply too many of them, and too few of you to attempt to fight another civilization. And you don't want a Barbarian unit wrecking your lands and capturing your Builders while you're off fighting a losing battle against another civilization!
