The Chancery is an advanced diplomatic building in Civilization VI. It is built in the Diplomatic Quarter district and requires a Consulate (or one of its replacements).

• Effects:
  • +3 Influence points per turn.
  • When this civilization captures or kills an enemy Spy, receive 50 Science for every level of the enemy Spy.
  • +3 Production toward units for each Militaristic City-State with 6 Envoys.
  • +3 Production toward wonders, buildings, and districts for each Industrial City-State with 6 Envoys.
  • +3 Science for each Scientific City-State with 6 Envoys.
  • +3 Culture for each Cultural City-State with 6 Envoys.
  • +6 Gold for each Trade City-State with 6 Envoys.
  • +3 Faith for each Religious City-State with 6 Envoys.

Strategy

Building the Chancery quickly (particularly if Black Queen Catherine is in the game) can benefit any civilization. The building's efficacy can also be improved by the Cryptography and Police State policy cards, which will hamper enemy Spies from wreaking havoc across your lands. The downside of this building's Science-generation ability is that it is entirely reactive and dependent on other civilizations placing Spies in your cities.

The Chancery grows in value and efficiency if you have 6 Envoys in many city-states of the same type.

Civilopedia entry

A collection of consulates and embassies is termed a chancery. Here, diplomats gather to work out treaties and arrange deals… and (more likely than not) rub shoulders with spies. A chancery provides a centralized place to observe and monitor foreign agents within the country, to improve relations (and to try and figure out what other countries might be up to). It is larger and more exhaustive than a consulate.
