City Patron Goddess is a Pantheon in Civilization VI. It increases the Production toward Districts by 25% in cities that do not yet have a specialty district.
Strategy
This pantheon has a number of ways to be of use such as:
- Doing semi-expansionist Religious Victory to build Holy Sites in small far-flung colonial cities to be used as healing sites for your religious army.
- Building many Commercial Hubs or Harbors for Trade Route spamming.
- Building many Theater Squares for spamming Archaeological Museums for a Culture Victory.
- Deploying Culture Bombs from Poland's Encampments, Khmer's Holy Sites, or Dutch Harbors.
- Building several districts without finishing any of them completely, then finishing them one by one. This way every district will get the 25% discount; however, it has the downside of you not getting the bonuses of the districts being finished until all are completed.
- For cities built mid-to-late game with a single purpose (like a city built simply to take advantage of a perfect Campus location).
This pantheon is also especially powerful for civilizations with a strong unique district, which is most likely the first one to be erected in a new city, notably England with the Royal Navy Dockyard, Phoenicia with the Cothon, or Mali with the Suguba. However, as most unique districts have a lower Production cost, you would not be getting the full benefit from this pantheon.
This pantheon is not so useful for conquest as there will usually already be a specialty district in the city you take over.
