City placement matters for Sid Meier's Civilization VI Anthology on Nintendo Switch

These are a few guides on city placement to keep in mind when starting the game.

• Settling near a river provides fresh water, therefore providing additional housing, which boosts the number of citizens your city can support. Rivers also help in the mid/late game when you want to construct certain buildings or wonders.
• Settling near the coast lays a strong foundation for the city's growth and improvement.
• To provide additional science and faith to the campus and holy site districts settling near mountains is useful. Mountains also make it difficult for enemies to move their troops when they attack your city.
• If you struggle with Al decision-making, then scout the surrounding area and make sure you have as many resources as possible in close range.
• It is not necessary to build a city next to ocean tiles as a harbor district will make it possible to construct ships.
